Moving Forward

Hello everyone,
Just another update here.  Looks like we may be moving in a few short weeks.  My sewing is being packed away in preparation for the big move of nine miles!  As I've said to others, "It's not over till the fat lady sings!"  Or specifically until we sign all the massive piles of papers at closing!

So my sewing is on hold, much to my chagrin, until we get settled.

I'm sure I will be making some curtains and other things for our new home.  So my little heirloom dress will just have to wait till later...probably much later!

Oh, I almost forgot to let you know!  I entered my olive green jacket into Open Class at the county fair and got a champion.  The judge said everything looked great and she could find nothing wrong to comment about.  Well, I thought sure she would comment on a couple things including the bound buttonholes but guess I'm a perfectionist.  She said "Good job tackling a difficult buttonhole and that she didn't even like to make them!"  Whew, that made me feel good! :)

Thanks for reading,

Marla

Sewing on Hold

I thought I better check in just so you don't think I died and went to heaven yet.  I am having serious sewing withdrawal symptoms here!  We put our house on the market so I'm spending a lot of time keeping our house in order and clean.  If you've ever had a house on the market, you know it's supposed to look like you don't live there.  A very difficult task! 

Like many seamstresses when I sew my house goes to pot!  So sadly, my sewing machine is resting (actually probably suffocating) under it's cover.  :(

Hopefully, we will have some answers in the not so distant future on whether we will get our house sold this time and move to a new location.

I just want to sew!  My heirloom project is on hold and I already have several projects planned down the road.

If we move, I have a feeling I will be making curtains!

Thanks for reading.  I will try to touch base again sometime after we have some answers!
