WIP Wednesday 4 November 2015
Again, not much stitching, but the little time I snuck in was productive.
I was here last week
and got to here last night.
Just need to backstitch the words and give teddy some eyes and it will be ready for final finishing.
The fabric colour in the bottom picture is much closer to the real thing.

I want my stitching time back!
When I posted 2 weeks ago I was here
And this is as far as I got as of last night.
Pitiful!

I actually got in a little stitching time this week. My ornie has gone from here
to here.
It felt SO good to have needle in hand again.

I'm Moved!
Moved, yes. Settled, that's still a future declaration. But, the rooms needed to function are set up and clear of boxes and there is a world of work wrapped up in that phrase.
I got the bedroom done first - I usually do that so when I've had enough I can just collapse.
And as you can see, the furries are here and that makes the place feel much more like home. They were at the shelter for 9 days and I missed them horribly.
Then I got the bathroom set up and that was pretty much it the first day I was here.
The next day I started on the kitchen and that pretty much used up two days, but everything is in cupboards and pantry. There will probably be some finessing, but so far so good.
Then I did the dining area.
I know there will be some changes here, but right now it's functioning so it'll be left.
And then on to the living room.
And the bags and bags of stuff that have gone to recycling, the dump and the Salvation Army I don't even want to think about. As you can see, there is nothing on the walls yet, so it feels rather temporary still. As I decide where to put all my pictures/stitching it'll feel much more like mine.
And that leaves the office and craft room and I don't even want to think about them. They are both packed to the hilt with totes, full boxes, empty boxes and stuff I couldn't make up my mind where to put it. I suspect the office will be first - I need to do my job after all, Then the craft room. But, I have found my bag with my current project - the Christmas Ornie SAL - and my UFO, so I'm hoping the needle will start to fly again tomorrow.
I've lost my gorgeous ocean view, and look at a cliffside now, but I've already had a couple of visitors.
I'm glad to be back in blogland.

WIP Wednesday 16 September 2015
Well, my time has mostly spent doing this
but I did manage a couple of very short stitching sessions and got this done.
I'm sure you can tell exactly what it's going to be.
On Sunday I took part in the Paws For A Cause walk for the SPCA and as I was headed for Mariner's Park I past this local keeping an eye on passers by.
And I've had to spend some time snuggling one of my boys who is very confused about what is happening to his home.
And that's been my week.

Except it's not. No stitching at all this week. I think my blog will be very quiet for the next few weeks.
The good news - I have a place to move to! The bad news - I have to move! LOL And I only have 3 weeks to do it in, so stitching goes way down the priority list for the time being.
I'm really pleased with my new apartment. It's an adults only building, 2 storey with only 12 units in the whole building. It's tucked down a hill, so I won't hear much if any of the road traffic.
I have more space which is wonderful. The living room is larger, with a small balcony/deck off it. I have a proper dining area so my table and chairs won't be taking up a corner of the living room and the kitchen has more counter space and more cupboards. There are 3 bedrooms, all a good size and I've already designated one to be my craft room. It will be nice to have my stuff all in one spot and maybe, just maybe, I can actually organize it. It has a pretty good amount of storage space as well which is an added bonus.
Of course, there has to be one downer and that is rent - it's double what I pay now, but I knew that would take a jump. Means watching the pennies closer, but who doesn't have to do that?

I've been busy with Santa. Last week I left him here
and this week, TA DA, I have a finish - a fully finished finish at that.
Now I'll get back to working on the wedding sampler which I left here.
And I also need to work on my September Christmas ornie for the SAL. This month's theme is Christmas Tree/Presents.
