weekly update...

Seems I can only get to the blog about once a week...  The behind the scenes work is busy.. I am cleaning and packing and trying to organize.  I have learned quite a bit  since we have moved 13 times in almost 40 years of marriage...  


So I am  spending my days going through drawers and culling them out. (the move is based on weight!) If I don't want it at the new house, I am getting rid of it here..trash, freecycle, donate...I will use them all..

I am also trying to get satellite tv scheduled, find internet access (will go with Wild Blue, which happens to be our ONLY CHOICE so don't tell me if you hate it!) and today is "find the trash companies name"...there is only one so it shouldn't be too hard...  and then we also have to call and cancel all that stuff here...
Every weekend when we leave we take a load to the new house..  We drove out late last night and took a load from the garage...lawn mower, big steel shelving unit, misc rakes and shovels...

And I wish I would have taken the camera because the concrete guys had been there forming up the pad for the new workshop...  I hope to get some photos tonight if it isn't too dark...

And we went and got a new laundry tub so I know what we will be doing this weekend.

So this means no sewing at this house.  I have to get my Habitat Challenge quilt finished.  I only need to hand stitch the binding ...  and I have a challenge due for another guild and I haven't even started it.  Well, I did start it, but I didn't like it so I want to start over.  I might not get to that..

I will be updating the other blog ...but I fear I will be absent from this one until after the move.  Wish me luck and I'll see you on the other end...hopefully with a nice, clean, organized sewing studio...

Oh forgot...I got an email last week and was sent an item to review...and GIVEAWAY!  So watch for that...cause you know I need to add something else to my calendar...lol

what's going on...

Behind the scenes this is what's working...

I'm starting to pack up the sewing room.  We are moving next month.  Our big dream and all our work is finally going to pay off. We will be on a quiet gravel road amidst trees and wild life and I will have a HUGE sewing room...   We have packers and movers coming next month and they charge by weight...we figure we can take stuff every weekend and save some money.  The easiest thing to pack is my sewing room...I took two boxes last weekend and these are ready to go tomorrow.  Of course I already NEED something that I sent out last week.  lol

The sewing room is starting to look a bit bare..

all the shelves are cleared off...

all the walls are bare...

I've been reduced to radio only as I packed all my CD's..and I need a few tools to remove my thread holders and scissor hanger and my ruler rack...oh...and the radio shelf..   Then this room will be painted..a boring bland neutral.

I am already tired of packing...I can't imagine if I had to pack the whole house..  and so tomorrow I will be joining a few friends to sew....all. day. long.   Can't wait.. 

My ironing surface, sewing table and bed risers are ready...  I need to cut and pack a couple more projects and the sewing machine...


And I have been a terrible great-aunt... I have yet to see my new great nephew and hope to get there next week...I'll take dinner to make up for it...I have a great (from my daughter) chicken enchilada recipe that will travel well...

I helped move my Mom from one nursing home to another.  She did fine.

Have been trying to learn the new Facebook...BAH!  Why change something that isn't broke?
