none of the rooms are like they used to be!! He follows me around the house like a shadow.

Our new home being built should be ready in July, we think, so we will be living elsewhere for at least 6 months!

We have rented a first floor two bedroom apartment with a garage nearby and will start taking boxes over to store in the second bedroom and garage.

I have packed up about half of the sewing room…

Thanks for sticking with me through this new chapter!!  I put all my kits and precuts in bags to take with me to the apartment.  I will be sewing again, soon, I hope!!
