recycling a giggle

Hey!  How are things?  Please tell me you're making something pretty.  It will make me feel better knowing at least one of us is. :)

We just finished a second evening of shuttling van-loads of boxes to the new house.  I'm pooped.  And a little sweaty.  I am starting to comprehend how different it will be going from a bungalow to a 3-storey house (plus a basement). 

Stairs.

(I know.  They're good for you.)

To be clear, we hired professionals to do all the heavy lifting later this week.  We are too old to even think about moving things like the piano and the treadmill ourselves.  But I wanted to move mirrors and lamps and other things (fabric) that would take way longer to box up properly than to just make the kids hold them on their lap for a few minutes en route. 

This afternoon, it occurred to me that my funnybone could use a little exercise.  I don't have much time to write, but I have had 3 1/2 years worth of material here on my blog and some of it still makes me laugh when I read it.  So I thought you might enjoy a little re-giggle with me.  Click here.

I know how you feel.. To tired to do more...
The realtor came by yesterday to take the pictures for the website. The "for sale" sign is already up on the window! I do hope I can sell this flat and buy a new bigger house that has an enormous sewing room!
Yes, I am moving because I need a bigger sewing room, ha ha!
After the realtor was gone, I sort of crashed on the couch. Cleaning the whole house and getting it picture-ready was a lot of work.... I also decided on clearing out the sewing room. It looks soooooo empty right now with just bookcases and the desks. All of my stash is now stacked up high in the boiler cupboard. All hidden away.
I wish you and your family a quick and peaceful moving in day ( or week )

We are also downsizing! So I am in the process of decluttering and deciding what I will sell, give away to charity or simple toss in the trash! (when did we decide we needed all of this STUFF?!?!?) And of course yesterday was one of the hottest days of the summer so far! At least today is cooler as I contemplate which room/project I will tackle next (did I mention how much I am DREADING cleaning out the garage?) *YIKES!*
Hang in there Kristyne! Soon you'll be all settled and enjoying your new home!!!

I absolutely LOVE your words/blog/whatever it is called !
I have been trolling about clicking hither and yon and reading most of your stuff.

Adore the humour,(UK spelling) information and gorgeous pretty pictures!

Are you taking Barb's chandelier? Who is Barb by the way?

I very much understand the fart analogy about your finished sewing space....ha ha ha... so right !
Happy new house...looking forward to your next missive.

Best of luck with your move. It can be tiring and stressful....but think of it as an new adventure in your life. And how much fun it will be setting up your new sewing space! I enjoyed your re-giggle.

Take a deep breath and remind yourself you are almost there....almost done. Then exhale :)
Now,nevermind the house and go buy this book :The Maison Sajou Sewing Book (Amazon dot ca has it for less than $25). I may well be the last to know about this gem, but on the off chance I'm not, I'm sure you'll fall in love with it, too.
deux becs,

We just bought a house and are moving in a few weeks, just across the small town we live in too. I'm thinking pack stuff into washing baskets and stuff them in the car, unpack then repeat. Minus kids might be easier too!
