The Big Move

       So Saturday we did it.  The Big Move.  Family and friends showed up to move my studio from the walk out basement room to three rooms upstairs; living room and 2 bedrooms.  What a day!  Craig hitched a 4X6 foot trailer to the riding mower and they just kept bring more stuff.  And more stuff.  And more stuff.  

       These two pics show one very small room.  There is a larger bedroom full of plastic drawer sets piled 6 1/2 feet high except at the two windows.  Closets are packed in both rooms.  The living room is twice the size of the two bedrooms and will need 1 six foot table for sewing machines and 2 six foot tables for classes and my own work.  Things will fit a little better after I rearrange like boxes and totes with each other.  Still, there will be extra boxes on the floor.  This particular room above will have all my books (two 6-foot shelves full) into it so the shelves will be empty for the craft show in 7 weeks.  But now I have my supplies where I can get to them to begin getting ready for the show.  I have a handful of finished dolls that will just need pulled from totes, a double handful that just need embellished and lots of little odds and ends.  I won't be sure until I get through all the box labels since I didn't touch everything while packing.

       So am I diving in to "unpack?"  Heck no!  I leave for the Windy City Doll Conference in a day and a half.  I've got other things to do.
