I know I've been absent a while, but there's just not been much going on that I thought anyone would be interested in. Especially, no sewing. None. I traced a Burda from September - my introduction to the new and very hideous pattern sheets. My eyes may too old for that! I chose a very simple pattern - only 3 pieces, and still made a mistake in tracing. Erg. Then I cut it out of some of the fabric I bought at JoAnn's in Detroit. A good chunk of my stash is still packed in boxes, so my choices were limited. And that is as far as I've gotten. So, wait, does that count as sewing? Maybe? Oh, and I FINALLY FINALLY put the buttons on my navy wrap skirt that I started back in the apartment back in May. At least it was May 2010.
We've put our house on the market and I have to keep the house clean for showing. So instead of my big, nice sewing room I have a sewing machine on a table. And everything else is in the closet in boxes. **sigh** I may have some time on Sunday - there's a showing on Saturday so no sewing tomorrow.
While I was in Detroit with my son's surgery, my husband lost his job. I should say "sort of" because he has a ton of vacation time and that held him until he found another position. Same company, different coast. So we'll probably be moving to Washington. The OTHER Washington, as in State. And that is why our house is for sale. We moved in over Memorial Day weekend. And it was for sale again before Labor Day. **sob**. I'm just hoping it sells fast and we can get this over with.
I do have some photo's I can share, if I can find my camera cable. Maybe if I actually looked for it? I should give it a try, you think?
Beth! I'm sending you lots of positive vibes for a good buyer and happy house-hunting. I'm so sorry that you have to keep moving, how frustrating! But, it's a good thing that DH found another job. Good luck, and hang in there!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear you are in this situation. I can imagine how frustrating it must feel and how much you long for a home that you can stay in a bit longer now. I hope the house will sell soon and that you'll find a new house quickly, to make a lovely home for you and your loved ones. *hug*
ReplyDeleteWe recently discovered we can plug our camera's memory into a slot in our new desktop computer and it will download the photos without the cable. Can you try that? The desktop is new, so maybe not ...
ReplyDeleteBeeBee, where at in Washington State? I'm on the West side, DD on the east...
ReplyDeleteBeth, one door shuts another opens. I look you can see it as an adventure. Hope all is well with your son. I have been doing a research project on carers for one of my clients and I take my hat off to all carers. It is an awesome responsibility.
ReplyDeleteBeth, I'm so sorry you're having to move again. I love the way you handle life's surprises. Here's hoping for a quick sale at the right price! Melodye
