Mary Beth Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I want to see more...closer....But I like what I see so far. I\'m seeing a retreat!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grammie Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 You really cant see the garage or other buildings but you get the picture anyway. I think is about 9000 elevation. Sangre De Cristo Mountains from every window. Hopefully I will get some inspiration from my windows. I couldn\'t wait to show you all. As long as the inspections go well and nothing is discovered and I don\'t jinx myself by showing it too soon . lolol I\'m just so excited I just had to share or BURST!!!

Grammie Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Yes wouldn\'t that be fun Mary Beth. The upper floor is unfinished. All the hard work is done. Sheetrock and flooring and it\'s done. I was thrilled to find it that way so I could do the space the way I want it. The upper floor is over 2000 square foot with hugh 16 x 40 I think and three huge bedroom and bath. I plan to have one of the room be a cutting and sewing room and only two bedrooms. Also putting a kitchenet and frig and such so that it is independent of the lower part of the house. I\'ll do all the planning when I get there. I cannot wait. You know I think business will be tougher there. Many of Texas customers say they are happy to mail but will that get old them? Who knows. I have plenty to do anyway. lol The bottom floor has a Huge 26 x 18 extra bedroom which will be my quilting space until we complete the studio upstairs. I\'ll probly never go anywhere again once I\'m there. It is so quiet and peaceful. I \'m going to love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtnBarb Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Whoopie - Grammie is coming to town! Fremont and Custer counties won\'t be the same again. Sorry I missed your call but I\'ll catch up with you when you get here. Oh,Oh Tracye - we\'ve got another driver/passenger for MQS next year! The nearest quilt shop is in Canon City where I live and then Pueblo which is 35 miles from my place. There are several in and around the Springs (45 miles from my place). There are at least two longarm group meetings too. One is in Denver (monthly) and the other is in the Springs (bi-monthly). I can hardly wait for you to get here! Your new place is beautiful as is the valley where Westcliff is located. Be sure to buy lots of sweaters and you\'ll be making a lot of quilted coats too. lol Can ya tell I\'m excited!

roberta Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Wow, what a fantastic place! You are going to love it there. I was thinking it looked a little like Southern Colorado until I read Barbs comment on being near Canyon City. My dad was born there and I have relatives there, in the Springs, and in Pueblo. In fact, there is a family reunion in Canyon City this September. Let me know if you have a moving in retreat. LOL It really is lovely. Best of wishes and luck with the move!

skrat Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Grammie, Westcliffe really is a beautiful place. You will enjoy. The wildlife, the 4 seasons and all. They have a wonderful cowboy fest in Westcliffe every year. Can\'t think of what it is called right now, but a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonjaHammond Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Hi Grammie: You will love Colorado. I lived in Texas before our move 3 years ago in Colorado. I couldn\'t wait for snow. But after last winter (3rd snowest winter in Durango\'s history) I am hoping for a lot less snow this year. I am not sure just where Westcliffe is in compariosn to Durango.

Grammie Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I had the chance to visit with Tracye while house hunting. Turns out the home we picked is only 30 miles from her. Her two children are the cutiest in the world. She is one busy lady. Her farm is just wonderful. I plan on draining her of farm animal knowledge. lolo She has a beautiful Home and Studio. She is a very talented gal. I enjoyed her homemade Green tea and visit. I wont\' forget it. Thanks Tracey. Your a doll!!
