Still doin'

It has been a while since I last posted...  Been busy trying to arrange the stuff that is already at my house, and make room for the rest of the stuff that I need to bring here (from Bob's house)...  I should take some photos of my studio space with all the boxes in it, a before image, as it were.  With help, I have several Ikea Expidit units up (still need many more...) to help organize my sewing, beading, and needlework supplies.  The units that are up look really nice - and are only filling room that can't be used for anything but storage anyhow - the head clearance is too low!  Have a desk to move up there for the sewing machine(s), but need to make room first.  The living room is coming along nicely as well - I have new-to-me coffee table and side tables, and just purchased the rest of the book cases for all my books.  Have a couple paint chips tucked up on the wall - still deciding what color I want to paint the living and dining room.  The decision is made a bit more difficult by the fact that the kitchen is open to those rooms.  Makes for a larger feel, but additional challenge for decorating.

Oh, well, off to work on the studio some more...

Short update...

It has been a couple weeks since the pod was emptied into my back porch.  Since the, I have been working, ever so slowly, on unpacking boxes.  Some days I'm proud to show off my new house, today, not so much.  Sometimes this unpacking and putting away is messier than not.  Trying for some semblance of order prior to leaving for a weekend ski trip in Bayfield WI on Friday.  Need to get some use out of those skis I bought, there hasn't been enough snow down here in the Cities to cross country ski, unless you go to one of the places that make snow...

Moving in day...

Today is the day that my stuff is moved from the pod into the house.  The weekend will be spent unpacking boxes (the next 6 months will no doubt be spent unpacking boxes).  It will almost be like Christmas!
