Monday...zzzz

I'm a bit tired this morning. We spent the entire weekend packing boxes and we took another load to the lake. This load included all the food from our kitchen pantry. Plus my BERNINA and my featherweight, along with 5 big under the bed storage bins full of fabric. NO MORE SEWING in this house!

Today it continues. I have lots of boxes to pack upstairs. Hope to finish this today.

The doggies are so confused! They know something is going on around here, but what??

This is our last week here and at this point, though I do love this house, I'm ready to be done with it. I'm ready for a day where I can wake up and take my time drinking my coffee. I'm ready to be finished with packing boxes. And I'm ready to the next step - at the lake.

I can do this. I CAN DO THIS!

Making Progress!

10 days! Only 10 days left in this house! The countdown in ON!

Yesterday I was very productive. I packed the pantry food to go to the lake - the pantry is EMPTY! I packed some of my clothes to go into storage. I packed more of my clothes for the lake. I packed fabric for the lake (LOTS of fabric). Also took a quick trip to drop off donations and buy MORE BOXES.

In between boxes, I worked on Hexie Love. Behind the scenes I'm also revamping my website - it's getting too cluttered on the main page. Hopefully I'll get this complete soon.

I will say one positive thing about packing up our lives - I'm getting a ton of steps in every single day!

A few weeks ago I had a day of panic. Can we get all this done? And can I get the magazine out on time? I finally told myself to set small goals each day. Make progress daily on both the move AND the magazine. And do you know what? It's working! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I still have a LOT to do, but I'm feeling so much better about it all.

Have a wonderful Saturday!!!! Go make HEXIES!

It Could be Worse

Are you sick of hearing about packing and moving? Sorry about that....

As much as I'm sick of packing boxes, I know it could be worse. We have a lovely (albeit small) place to live while we build a new home. And the view - yes, I'll be enjoying it. There will be lots of hexie stitching happening on the back porch.

But, I AM TIRED of packing...

Today I have a car load of donations to drop off at a charity. And I'll continue to pack the kitchen - making good strides here. I'm hoping to get some time to pack up fabric and sewing machines, too. Should be a good day! And the good news - the next issue of Hexie Love is coming along very nicely!

Our Lives in Boxes...

More boxes! Packed boxes are lining the rooms - a good thing! I got a big portion of the kitchen packed yesterday - more of that to come today. Later today and tomorrow I'll concentrate on packing things that need to go to the lake to live under beds. We're making a lake run this weekend to drop more stuff there.

In between boxes I've been writing pattern instructions, and designing quilts.

Have you taken advantage of the sale of my Curved Hexagon Ruler yet??? Get 20% off with the coupon code, MOVING. I sent out lots of rulers yesterday and many more are going out today! FYI, I'll be moving the rulers to the lake before long and will have to take a break in shipping for a week or so surrounding the move. The sale ends on February 15 - just a few more days!!!

Hope you have a lovely day!

Sleeping on the Job

I so wish Cooper could help me pack. But no, he preferred to nap on a quilt on the floor while I do the heavy lifting.

What a dog!

I met my goal yesterday of packing another large cabinet - a second china cabinet. Done! Then I started on the kitchen. We'll be eating off of paper plates in the near future.

I'm feeling pretty good about where we are in the packing process. Moving day is two weeks away. I think we'll make it!

Today I'll work on the kitchen again. And maybe my sewing stuff? We'll see...

I'm also working on the next issue of Hexie Love and it's coming together nicely!

Sewing and Packing!

Onions, anyone? Yes, those are onions! Love this section of BLISS - can you figure out how I did it? It's so easy with my Curved Hexagon Ruler! Yesterday was awesome - I FINISHED the next section of BLISS - Yippee! Happy Dance!

Then I ran out for a bit to get more packing supplies...

and dinner. Yup, there's absolutely NO cooking going on here at the moment.

I finished packing the china cabinet in the afternoon - crystal takes a long time to pack! Today I have my eyes on another cabinet - it will get done today, along with patterning on the computer for the next issue of Hexie Love. Meanwhile, hubby has been tackling the change of address stuff. We're doing it!

Have a wonderful day!!!

Super Bowl Watching

We picked up a boatload of wings yesterday - gotta have wings during the Super Bowl, right? So good! And we got enough for another meal since cooking is not happening here during the next few weeks.

Mickey was ready for the game!

And this was my game time entertainment. I had just a few more hexies to baste for the next section of BLISS. DONE!!! This morning I'll head upstairs and stitch these to the mothership. Yay! Almost there!

Hubby has all but finished packing his man cave - he continued to pack during last night's game. We're making progress on all fronts. And that is a very good thing. Sigh. Still a lot of work to do, but we'll get it done.

Love to you all!
