Well, moving day is less than two weeks away. We have found a house to rent in Orange Park, Florida. My husband has a job waiting and I have several opportunities to pursue. We just need to get there. The last couple of weeks we have been having yard sales and now we are packing and purging. I have accumulated so much stuff in the last 9 years of living in this house. A lot of this stuff is pretty easy to part with and I am constantly quoting my new mantra, "less is more". However, as a sewer....I have accumulated SEW much stuff and that is not as easy to let go of. I am sure many of you can relate. I look at patterns, notions and fabric and see future projects and works of art. Thankfully, there is a room in the new house that I can use as a studio. I have been very spoiled to have such a large studio in this house and I was just sick at the thought of losing it.
Today, I am going to begin to tackle my studio. I have plastic drawers labeled with notions and sewing tools. I have found boxes and boxes of loose sewing items to put in the drawers. I pray at the end of the day, I will see a lot of progress. The kids are at their dad's for a few days and I am trying to get as much done as I can before they come home.
Back to packing and purging.
Happy Sewing!!
Susan
So good to hear from you sweetie, glad you found a house and that you'll have a studio! Very important for a quilt artist. Praying for you!
ReplyDeleteMy sister lives in Orange Park! Yay! Now, I have two people to visit when I go up!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Allie. Please keep praying.
ReplyDeletePenny...I am so happy. I was wanting to visit with you before I left. Now you can come see me. Maybe you can come sew with me.
I know moving isn't a fun task. Packing and purging can be stressful and physically exhausting. But I do think you are going to really enjoy your new home.....you'll be settled into your new home soon. I can't wait to hear that you are setup in Florida, meeting new friends, and enjoying sewing in your new very organized sewing room!
ReplyDeleteI wish you strength to get thru it all!
