Lacking Leisure Time

The last few months have definitely been a whirlwind! I started working full time back in March and I have to say, this whole "working for a living" thing is more work than I expected! I have a great job with wonderful colleagues, but it's taking me a while to get the hang of it.

And, as if that weren't enough to keep me from my sewing room, we decided that it would be a great time to move to a new house. So in the last few weeks we've gone from talking about neighborhoods to looking at houses, making an offer, getting financing, having an inspection done -- and finalizing a contract! We're closing in a couple weeks although we won't actually be moving until mid-summer. I'm pretty excited about the new place and I love our new neighborhood, but there is still a lot of work to be done (mainly PACKING! Yikes!).

So, yeah, not much time around here for sewing, unfortunately. I'm in the middle of 3 projects right now -- my Grandma's Christmas 2009/Flag Day 2010 quilt, a playhouse for Oliver, and a needlepoint project that I got my husband for Christmas. I'd also love to get a new quilt for our bed finished before we move, but that may be asking a little too much at this point. We'll see how things go!
