Well, I am sorry about being gone so long, as some of you know we are in the 20 days stretch for our move to Bakersfield California. I would love to tell you that I have been making cute fun crafty things all week, but unfortunately that is not the case. I have been catching up on shop orders, and the shop will be closing tonight.
I did receive some cool things from swaps this week as well. Jen, who actually lives around the area I am moving to sent me this fantastic set of Saffron Craig hexies. She went way above and beyond to grant me my hexie wishes. I am excited to meet here after we settle in a little first.
Then Corey over at little miss shabby sent me a little thank you gift for sending her some fabric she needed.
Completely unexpected, but so very much loved. I think I squealed with joy when I opened the package.
Last Monday Sophie had her first trip to the Oregon Zoo. Bliss hardly describes her expression she has a BIG love for all the animals. She says her favorite was the Elephants .
I better sign off and start packing some boxes. I am pretty sad to leave such good friends here in the Portland area, but I know we will keep in touch and there are great things coming for our family.
Has anyone had a big move that they dreaded? Everything works out in the end I think, this will just be one fantastic adventure.
Happy Sewing.
You're right, it will be a great adventure! I grew up moving every few years, but it's different when you're the kid and not the grown-up!
ReplyDeleteLove all the little gifties you received...that little pin cushion almost looks like it's made out of candy! The zoo pics are great too!
Good luck on the big move!

Sniff, bawl, blubber....
ReplyDeletegood luck with your move.
ReplyDeleteIt will be a fun adventure (except for the packing part) and with this fabulous internet thingy you're never really too far from anyone. Safe travels!
ReplyDeleteJust a hop, skip and a jump from where I live. yippee!!
ReplyDeleteOH... moving from loved ones is not easy. Good luck! (I took advantage of your little destash... would LOVE me some goldfish for my son!)
ReplyDeleteOh I am in the middle of a big move now too. In two weeks I am moving from Minnesota to Idaho. The packing part is the worst. Just think of it as a little adventure. : )
ReplyDeleteHave a safe trip kiddo, you know we will be here when you are settled.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a safe move. :)
ReplyDeleteI've made a few of those moves! I know it will be fine in the end and you will make the best of it, but you are going to miss your fabric stores in Portland as well as your friends.
ReplyDeleteSafe journey!
Are you really moving to Bakersfield? That is where I live! We just moved here a year ago, although I grew up here. Let me know if you need any Bakersfield tips. ;0)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the move and welcome to California!
ReplyDeleteWe moved from Massachuesetts to Tennessee 14 years ago and not only was it a huge move it was a serious culture shock. Having said that...we LOVE it here. It was the best thing we ever did. I have always thought that I was the reincarnation of Scarlet O'Hara so maybe it was meant to be!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the move! Hope everything is as easy as pie!
ReplyDeleteKaty :)
good luck with your move! i know that feeling-- i moved from brooklyn to a wee town in north florida last week! leaving friends is the hardest part... i am aching about it. hope that your move is smooth... thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a safe and smooth move! We moved from BC to Texas a year ago, and I can't wait to get outta this stinkin heat! It is so hard to leave family but sounds like this is a positive move for you :)
ReplyDeleteMoving is hard, and I hope all goes well for you. We moved this past spring, while I was 5 months pregnant. At least I didn't have to lift anything heavy! Good luck. :)
ReplyDeleteI love that pinwheel of fabrics!! I hope that the move goes well, Terri. I convo'd you on etsy...
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the move! I can see how busy you are. I loved the peak at the zoo...I always enjoy visiting there.
