I am happy to say that move in is complete.....for the most part. I am sorry to say that I have to organize some things before I can bring the rest of my books and sewing supplies from my folks' house, but the main bulk of my possessions are home!
I am fully into the nest feathering phase. Drapes and knick knacks and pictures, Oh my! I am having so much fun, and despite his comical grumbling I think my sweetie (A.K.A. the Boy) is having fun too. Chez Nous is actually starting to resemble a home. Who knew?!
I finally finished a king size quilt that I have been working on for the better part of ten years this week. It was one of the first quilting projects I attempted outside of sewing class. Up to the start of it, the biggest quilt I had finished was a tummy time quilt for my niece. I don't know what it was about it, but I would always pick the project up, work on it for a couple of days and then back it would go into a bag in the closet for another year.
My folks headed off down to Arizona today, so I thought it was the perfect time to set a deadline as the person the quilt is intended for is my cousin in California and I figured it would be a lot cheaper to ship it from the Old Pueblo than Toronto! I love a good deadline. It got my ass in gear. The layers got pinned together, the quilting was accomplished and the binding was finished up, all by Wednesday. Dig me finishing with days to spare, I must be growing up or something!
Hmmm, back to work I suppose. I am in the process of putting all our DVDs, Blu-rays, Cds, and video games into binders so they take up less space. Staples sells CD sleeves that will go into any 3-ring binder, so I got some attractive looking storage for our collection instead of those tacky, zip up versions from the past! I have huge motivation to get this done as the Boy (A.K.A the big meanie) wont let me bring all my beautiful books over until I have space to unpack them. Imagine....being logical...Some people's boyfriends! Oi!
Happy Weekend to all!
