This past Saturday was moving day. Yes, moving. I haven't spoken much about it here. It wasn't something we really wanted. Living a mile from my husband's job was a pretty nice situation since Goen and I could visit him during lunch. But our landlords wanted to sell, so out we went. We found a place in Fairfax that had most of what we were looking for. So we signed a lease and prepared to move. Which meant packing up all our stuff as quickly as possible, though, truth be told, it took over a week (having a toddler can really slow the process down). And now, several car and moving truck trips later, everything is inside. It's less space than we had before, so something (perhaps many things) will have to go or be put in storage. The next step is to bring it all to a state of orderliness, to create a space that feels homey, and, of course, to set up my sewing studio corner. I hope it doesn't take long because I have so many projects I want to get moving on. As soon as it's all put together, I'll post some shots, just like last time we moved. It's only been a few days, but already I'm starting to forget the old place. The happy moments will live on in my memory and in pictures, and we'll create more as time moves forward in this new space.

Before we bought our house, moving was always a fun experience for me. I was always a bit of a nomad and I've always looked for ways to declutter, donate, discard and simplify... Moving was always a GREAT way to do that!

Thanks for the book recommendation. I already requested it from my library and I'm looking forward to reading it. My husband and I have always preferred to lead a simpler life, but there are a few places we may need some help (such as my sewing and craft stuff ;) ).

Hi. My name is Carley. I love to sew, craft, and create. As a Jane-of all-crafts so to speak, I enjoy sewing, writing, cooking, drawing, photographing. But the constant thread (if you'll excuse the pun) throughout my weeks is needle arts. Archives
