ahem.

tap tap.
tap.

I'm here. almost FIVE months later. Here's the lowdown. If you're interested in a sewing post, move on.

I started running.
I took a break from running.
While taking a break from running, I gutted my master ensuite and renovated it by myself.
My husband got a job. In a different city.
I put my house up for sale.
We have a pending offer on it.
We went to Disneyland.
We went on a Disney Cruise.
I am moving to Calgary in about 2 months.

I puttered and beautified my garden and house to sell it.

As for sewing. Nothing. But lots of ideas. I'm hoping that once things settle, do they ever? I will begin to sew again. My creativity misses it.

Next on the agenda-
start running again.
confirm sale of house by end of week.
call movers, get quotes.
be even keeled for kids and appear calm and organized while husband moves to new city to start new job.
pretend that i don't miss him terribly.
enjoy better weather.
find new home in new city. (husband is in charge of 90% of this. I will visit to say yes or no)
eat icecream daily to appear calm and organized while husband is away.
celebrate 40th birthday.
pack.
move.
reunite as a family.
sew.

    I'm so excited that you're coming here. Let me know what I can do to help with the process. I have two neighbours that are real estate agents. Can't wait to welcome you here.

  5. ... so... tired... from reading... post... must... have... ice cream... HAHA. I am so impressed with everything you have gotten done. WTG Lady!

    Sewing will wait. Blogging will wait. The kiddos can't. (And the ice cream might melt.)

Except for missing the hubs, that's not fun, but only temporary. I was wondering where you were, I love your blog!

  12. Was hoping all was ok with you when there were no posts for so long - that happens sometimes! Are you happy to be moving back to AB? Hope all goes smoothly for you and your family over the next few months and that you all settle in nicely in Calgary!
