Good morning from the new house

Good morning from the new house

Over the weekend we have been moving from our little apartment to a little bungalow 30 minutes away.  The weekend has been busy and stressful, and we are still not done (have to clean the old place today), but I'm happy to report that I'm writing to you now from the new house, after having spent our first night here last night!
I have mixed feelings about moving (I guess I don't like change), but I am so excited to have a place we can paint, decorate, and improve in other ways.
We had the sort of smart, sort of insane idea of painting the rooms we want painted before we move the stuff in, so we won't have to worry about pushing stuff around and maybe splattering it with paint.  But now all we have is several rooms with one thick but not complete coat of paint on the broad strokes, with unpainted edges at the top, bottom and sides.  And we ran out of the two paint colors we've used most so far--so, yet another trip to the paint store.  This is like the third time in four days.  Oh, well.
I am happy to say that, although there are boxes here and there, my sewing room is pretty much already set up!  We moved my sewing desk in and I put my machine on it, and voila, it's just like it used to be!  Except with better lighting.  I will be busy in the next few days but I hope to get some sewing done very soon.
Wish I had pics for you or something, but it is such a work in progress right now!  I will get back to you with photos and updates soon.
Thanks for bearing with me during this crazy, stressful time!
