So, I'm in the midst of moving. It wasn't really a planned thing which, I suppose, is why I feel a little discombobulated about it. J and I are house trollers--we browse Trulia and Zillow for fun. Early in our relationship, we saw a dream house that fit both of our needs and personalities to a T! But we weren't in the position to move to buying and selling a home. But it did facilitate a discussion about saving money and moving in that direction. Fast forward several months and now my house is on the market.
But like any good hobby crafter, I am also a hoarder by nature. So much of my life had to be boxed and placed into storage so that my home is viewable to the potential buyer. Even my craft room had to be straightened and pared down--which was so hard to do!! All my scrap bins are boxed away in storage. Dozens of lines of collected fabric are tucked away too. I tried to be very selective in what I kept out: only currently running projects that I needed for the holidays, but now I'm finding I may need to venture into the storage locker of doom for scraps. That or go to Joann's for reinforcements. Let's be real, I'll probably just go to Joann's.
I am finding it difficult to stay productive during this time of transition. I feel stressed because of the move. I also have to be tidy as I go, which is totally not me. But I have a few more things I must finish before next weekend when I celebrate Christmas with my family...so soldier on I must. Luckily I have next week off work entirely--so I plan to sleep, eat and sew--nothing more!

| Here is my little stone cottage in Nashville |
 |
| She was built in 1937 and has tons of original charm and detail. |
 |
| This is my creative space. Clean and organized for the world to see (a rare occurrence). |
 |
| And this is what it will look like when I must pack it all away (tears). |
