Well, so much for that idea

I was all set to at least get some pajamas cut out so at least I would feel productive, but the fabric is so wrinkled, and flannel holds it's wrinkles, that it didn't get done. All my irons are either packed and under other boxes, or hidden behind the mountain of boxes. At least my cross stitching is still out, so I can do that. I am counting down the days until we get our keys for our house and then all this waiting will be over. 12 days to go!

I may not be able to sew, but...

I found just a few pieces of fabric that were not quite packed away, so I will be cutting out a few pajama patterns today. Maybe I can convince the hubby to move some boxes in order to access my machine! :)

I wish I was sewing...

This waiting is killing me!! I want to be sewing, but all my fabric is packed away. My sewing machine is sitting on my table, behind a tower of packed boxes, looking all lonely. It's just under 3 weeks until we get the keys to our new house, and time is going very slowly. I am still very sick, but I think I am on the upside now. Starting to feel a little better. On the upside, I won Thimbles and Acorns guess the illustrations contest! I am getting my prize of 7 shell buttons sent to my mother's house because the way the mail is around here, I would hate for them to get lost or missed. I have a picture of some of the outfits that I was hoping to get into my Etsy shop before now, but it was just not meant to be until after the move. I just have to figure out how to post from my phone to here. Hope everyone has a good day!

Hoping to have my Etsy shop open by now, but.......

I have been steadily sick since November and now we are closing on our first house on March 11! Just in time to move on March break. I am taking some photos of a couple of outfits that are ready to get put up on Etsy, and in doing this, I realized that some of them weren't quite finished or needed something extra. :) Buying a house has had it's moments as well. We found a house, did all the inspections and just before closing, the sellers backed out which left us back at square one. We then found a better house on the same street for the same price and everything is a go for next month. I believe everything happens for a reason. The second house was originally out of our price range, but they had to sell fast as they were relocating and found a house to buy, so it worked out to our advantage.
