Packing in the cold
Tuesday, January 25th, 2011The lack of posts is due to mostly one thing: packing. Can you say UGH? I HATE moving. It also has been wicked cold. This was the weather station report this morning–exactly ZERO (that’s Fahrenheit for my non-US readers…about Celcius minus 18):
That is a vast warmup from this time yesterday:
I also have too much stuff. I had cleared out some stuff, but as I pack my studio I clearly need to clear out more. When I unpack, I do believe that I will finally cull and sell some of my quilting books! As you can (maybe?) see from the chaos below, a fair bit of packing has happened—five low shelf units, all the patterns that I sell (half the filing cabinet), the knick-knacks inside the Hoosier (and do I really need all of *those* dustcatchers?).
Ugh again. Here’s another view toward a different corner. Ugh. The blue on the sewing tables is my recent project, which I can’t show you. Bummers. It is for a juried exhibit with a mid-March deadline. I knew I had to finish it early or it would never happen. I finished sewing the facings on Sunday mid-afternoon, then started in on packing boxes. I still need to sew my name to the front and make a label, but since the quilt won’t ship until late May/June (if it gets in, that is), I’m gonna let that slide for now.
So for today? More packing! UGH!!!
