Making Progress

Looking more like home

The furniture arrived Wednesday, but about all we could accomplish was placement in rooms.  The piles of boxes had to wait while we returned to House 1 to clean out the garage.  Thanks to

(They took off before I could get a picture.)  
Honestly, if you need to get rid of a bunch of stuff, or even one bulky object, they will take care of it.

We spent most of Saturday emptying boxes and filling drawers.  I was hoping to get at least one room back to normal and since the living room is the first room a person sees on entering, that's where I began.

We put the big sofa that came with the house in our family room and everything else (except the rug) went to Habitat Re-Store.

Living Room today
It's starting to feel more like home!  One item still on my list is putting up the wall hanging


It will hang over the same old wash stand as it did in House 1.

Sunday's focus will be the dining room which is also visible from the front door.

Needless to say, there was NO stitching last week, though I did go to Devo and Sew on Tuesday and cut (or, rather, attempted to cut) a class project for a September retreat.  Unfortunately it is the kind of cutting that required attention to detail, not something to be done in public.  I wasted some fabric and may have to replace it with something else.

Maybe I can treat myself to some sewing this afternoon.

    Progress is progress! Quilts on the wall make a house feel like home. I understand about distracted cutting. If my head isn't there, I am bound to waste some precious fabric. Hope you get to do some stitching today! :)

    It’s looking lovely, Libby! There’s nothing so wonderful as creating a nest for our family.

    Lots of progress, Libby and did you get to sort out the dining room yesterday. Don't overdo...I love seeing your photos of the rooms. It will be lovely!

    Looks like house 2 is coming along. You're already making it your own with your quilts. I'm looking forward to seeing more photos of your new home as you continue to work on it. Sorry to hear about your distracted cutting; maybe you can use the cut pieces for something else. I don't like to cut at sew days and retreats for that same reason.

    Moving is just so all consuming, but looks like you've made a good start. Hope you can fit in some more stitching this week.
