I can see the back wall!!!

Good Morning everyone!

Well.... what can I say...?  I'm still putting my house in order!  OMG!!!  Since our sewing studio is in the master bedroom... boxes have been stacked in the large bathroom.  We have now emptied enough I can see the back wall in the room!  I cannot believe I had all of these treasures in my old house and this one is bigger and I'm struggling on where to put things.  This has never been so mind boggling for me in all of the 44 years we have been married and with the many times we have moved from being in the Navy for 20 years.  I'm not sure what my issue is.... I just had to leave the sewing studio yesterday... I could no longer open another box, sort anymore fabric, or look through anymore books or patterns.  NEVER in my entire lifetime will I use all of these treasures!  But we all have them don't we?

My friend, Pam Buda - Heartspun Quilts... well according to her blog...she is going through the same thing I am.  Struggling to put order (or re-order) back into her sewing room too.  I'm glad it's just NOT ME!  Thanks Pam... I'm sorry you're having the "challenge" too but I'm glad I'm not alone!   Heartspun Quilts Blog

I did get new living room furniture  yesterday and it looks awesome and is very comfortable.  It felt good to  watch a little TV last night...while laying on the sofa (dozing....). 

Today is full of errands, hanging out at Cinnamon's,  and then off to have dinner with some of my buddies this evening.  The gals from Camp Blanding (that help us with our retreats) are meeting up with us.  Vicky repaired a quilt for one of the military guys that works with them and we are taking it to them so they can pass it on to him.  I know he will be so happy.  It looks great.  

Don't give up on me... I will begin posting better as soon as this house is in order... 

Keep sewing...

Hugs to all!

Will they ever all go away?

OMG!!!

I'm just tellin' you... there is not one part on my body that doesn't hurt... well... I think the top of my head is okay... but everything else... NOT SO GOOD!  We are all just too old for this kind of work...that's what I have decided.

It's a major celebration when we empty a box!!!  We have a pile of brown...but a larger STACK of browns to go.  It sure packs up faster than it does unpacking doesn't it?  

However, we are making progress... I even cooked dinner in our new kitchen the other night... it was great..lots of space to work.  The microwave is not so hot!!!  It takes longer to get to the temperature you like...I guess it's just getting used to it.  Of course...it may be on it's way to the dumpster soon...one never knows.

Jack just hung a 46" TV in our sewing studio!!!  He ROCKS!!!  Now we are trying to get all of the tv's to get a good picture.  Now..he's a pro at this... however, I think we may have to have Comcast return... they are just not right...not crisp and clear like they should be.  Guess what else he did... volunteered that 46" tv for the sewing studio and went out and bought a 55" for the living room.  OMG... I feel like I'm in a movie theatre !!  See...there was a reason for his madness and I'm glad!

Yesterday we all went to the new house along with my girlfriend (Merryanne) and her daughter (Buffy) and cleaned the old house.  Was I ever surprised when I found NO WATER...they had already turned it off and I was not a happy girl.  We did all of the other work...windows, blinds, floors (no mopping yet), vacuum, windows, ceiling fans, kitchen cabinets, laundry room (are you tired yet.... I still am).... then Jack contacted the neighbor...she's letting us use her hose and we'll tackle the showers and stove/frig today.  I even have to take a HUGE pot and heat up water so I'll have hot water to clean with.  UGH!!!  What we have to do to get back deposit money.... oh well... it's worth it.  

I met the lady that is moving in...so sweet... and I promised her a beautifully cleaned house...ready to move in!

So...with that in mind... it's time to gather up more cleaning supplies, get some more coffee... and get my butt in gear and head out.

Hopefully, I'll be blogging about much more exciting quilting and sewing topics soon.  Enough of this moving saga!

Hugs to all.... I can't wait to show you pictures of our new "digs"!
