Our bid was finally accepted and the house passed inspections. We just put a for sale sign in the front yard of our house and now all we need to do is wait. When our house sells, we move in.
So I decided to have a moving sale. Rather then try to move a bunch of sculptures in the midst of everything else we have accumulated in 9 year, I thought this would be better.
From now until we move, anything I have here at home will be marked down 40%. This does not include anything that is in a gallery already and doesn't include and shipping and handling prices. If you see anything that interests you, let me know and we can talk details.

Finally!
Finally our last offer on the new house was accepted. Good thing, because it was our last offer. Now we get it inspected and if all goes well, we put ours up for sale. As soon as it sells, we close on both places and have a moving frenzy of a time. The offer on the house was pending on the fact that we need to sell our house within 90 days before we can close on the new house.
I have so many ideas for the new studio that I am busting at the seams! One thing I will do for sure is take some pictures when we move in and post them. I will also post pictures along the way as it comes to life.
If the new house passes inspection and as soon as there is a sign in our front yard, I think I will have an "art moving sale". I think I will sell any art piece of mine, that is here at the house, for 40% off. I do have quite a bit and I really dread moving it all. Plus, I will be wanting some cash for new toys in the new studio as well. So keep your eyes peeled for a post reading SALE!

In Limbo
So nothing has happened since my last post. Well, except that I have been cleaning my house like crazy and packing stuff up. I haven't heard any news about the house yet. Offers have been traded back and fourth. We are at our last offer and awaiting a reply so I can't really pack everything up and I don't want to do too much in case we don't get this house and end up stuck for a while. So I am in limbo. I'm not wanting to start new projects in case of a move but it is starting to get under my skin just waiting. Hopefully I will have some news, any news by this weekend.

The strangest dream
As I write this now, it is not as fresh and intense as it was when I woke up in the middle of the night last night. It was one of those dreams that stick with you long after you wake up. Like it really did happen and it will affect the rest of your life and it takes you a while to shake that feeling.
It went like this. I was coming out of the hospital with my mom. I was limping horribly so I assume something was wrong with my feet. We slowly hobbled over to a area that was like an outdoor cafe. As we sat there chatting (not really but the dream made it feel like we were) I happened to catch something going on just past the my view of my mother. About 75 yards beyond where we were sitting, a person was lying head first into a rather deep and neatly trimmed, grassy, ditch. The ditch had fast, running water about a foot and a half or two deep, but it was just enough to cover most of the person's head. A person was lying head first in the ditch. As they lay there, their body quivered and jolted but her, yes now I can see it is a woman, her arms lay by her side while her head just remained covered in the water. This was obviously someone with a physical disability and they fell into the ditch and did not have enough motor skill or strength to get herself out of this position. The body shook and twitched as I assume her mouth worked like a scoop, filling her mouth and lungs up with the ditch's water. It shook for a moment and her body went limp. This was all realized in a second or two in the dream. I said "Christ"! and shoved the table aside and bolted right to her. Never mind what ever was wrong with my feet. I had to save this woman I knew. Yes I knew her suddenly! I have saved this person before in a life threatening situation and I had to save her again. I pulled her up from the ditch, laid her on her side to allow the water to drain back out of her. It seemed like gallons of water flowing from her stiff, blue lips. As it kept pouring out I yelled for someone to call 911. I kept talking to her and telling her that it was going to be all right. I was here again and she would be fine again. Life seemed to slowly come back to her body. It seemed like 10 minutes but I am sure it was only 30 or 40 seconds. Slowly like a sun rising, she was back. I saved her (Again. Where did I know her from?). We embraced and we were suddenly riding on some unknown mode of transportation going to some unknown place. We were kissing like she was a new love. Like we were on a long awaited first date. She was beautiful and new. Then I woke up. Wow, that was intense I thought. In seconds I remembered where I knew this person from. I knew her from a previous dream I had some time ago, but I'm not sure when. A dream where I saved her from another life threatening situation, but I can't recall from what or how or even what the dream was about. I just know that is where she is from and that I saved her. Strange thing is (as if that isn't already strange) I don't really know this person in any other way at all. She doesn't exist. This is just someone I dreamt up.

Playing chess
So, we made our offer on the house and the owners came back with a counter offer. Not a very reasonable one either. So we are at a stand still. It is like a chess game. We want the house, but don't want to pay anything more then it is worth. They want to sell a house, but don't want to settle for less then what they are asking. So at this point, we wait. Wait to see if they cave or if we cave. Wait to see if they get any other offers or zero offers. Our hopes is that after a few weeks, they get nothing and our offer will not look so bad after all.
