Moving towards moving

The livingroom is full of boxes, and DH leaves in the morning. He has apartments lined up to look at right after he signs his contract. He wont come home till he finds one, signs the papers and has everything readied for the move. While he is gone I pack, run willy-nilly about town taking care of errands and other craziness. Tomorrow though I will pause long enough to list my new floss on the shop....

Taken from the web...Photo by: Russell StandringIt's late and I'm tired but I wanted to post real quick because I wont have an opportunity to do so again until Monday at the soonest. First off...MY honey got the job!!!! We are moving to Grenoble next week. I am so excited. This is just what we were hoping for. It's doing the type of work he likes to do and it's in a gorgeous setting with lots of...

Still in a holding pattern

Sunday we took the train down to Moirax arriving in time for dinner and then quickly to bed. We rose at 4 am. Driving directly to Lyon we arrived around 12 and parked in the first place we could find downtown. Unfortunately for us it was at the opposite end of the blvd then we needed to be. We didn't realize this till we had walked quite a bit and asked directions. D's appt was at 12:30. We ended...

Change is in the air

Tomorrow we leave for Moirax. We will spend the night at D's parents. The next morning we set out for Grenoble. Grenoble is on the south-east side of France, down below Lyon. D has a serious job offer there. After he finished his phone interview with them, the man said he was very, very positive about the talk and looked forward to seeing him on Monday. If all goes well, he will start his job on...

A stop to catch my breath...

I can't believe it's been almost a week since I last posted. I have been so neglectful! I also haven't been doing any sewing so I don't really have anything to post. Starting back to school has been a shock to the system. On top of that stomach flu and being diagnosed with arthritis in my neck now too. To finish it off I have started deep cleaning the house. Things really took a slide during the months...

Christmas in September!

So I gave you a bit of a peek into what I've been up to the last several days, now here is an even bigger peek *grin*I have been having fun with bits of fabric and embellishments. I SO love to make crazy quilt things. Christmas stockings have long been one of my favorite things to make this way. Here are three that are well on their way. Who knows...I might even make more.I have also made the decision...

Crazy as usual...

What am I up to n...

Back in the groove

Every day I feel a little more myself. I am thinking clearer, feeling stronger and just basically better all around. Class started this week and even though I dread it, it was not the drain it has been in the past. I could think in class. Climbing up the stairs was not the big effort it's been. I am just beginning to realize how debilitated I was and it's shocking! It happened so gradually I didn't...

Symbolism revisited

So I pulled this old piece out, that had me pulling my hair out when I put it away. I decided there was nothing for it but to pull out all that red velvet. It was so puckered I couldn't even find it artsy looking like that, usually I dont mind a little...but this was TERRIBLEI thought I could leave the stitching intact and just reinsert the velvet...but not can do. I had pulled the chain stitch so...
