IT'S HAPPENING!

Today, workers finished laying the bamboo flooring in what will become my new bedroom.  The room has been freshly painted and practically glows.  I've been told I can move furniture in tomorrow, but they will start putting in (after first tearing down) my new bathroom tomorrow.  I will have a walk in shower with a bench.  No more lifting my stiff and aching legs into the tub.  SO.  After workers leave this evening, I start hauling stuff out of the bathroom - and into the new bedroom for the time being.  After the bathroom rehab, my current bedroom will be painted and have a new bamboo floor.  THIS WILL BE MY LONGED FOR STUDIO!

But, moving furniture to and from the storage unit will be a problem.  I'm considering hiring the same crew that moved my stuff from Macclenny to Jacksonville.  Hmmmm, after today's shopping spree, I wonder what my checking account looks like.  Guess I'd better check it.

DETAILS . . .

So, I've all but finished a little draw string bag and a clutch.  The clutch needs some binding and a latch of some sort and the little bag needs -- a better drawstring than I've provided.  I'll tweak it a bit and if I can't make it work, will buy something easier to work with than a metallic embroidery floss.  I've also finished my Elf and Sock and have hung him on my bedroom door.  He will be a gift to anyone who wants him.

MOVING FORWARD - SLOWLY

If I could just STAY AWAKE!!   Sleep deprivation is a real problem for me.  It seems every time I sit down at the computer, sewing machine or tv, my eyes slam shut.  Then it becomes a choice of lay down or fall down.  I prefer to NOT fall down.  Naps are some times no more than 15 minutes, but necessary to get me back on my feet.  Consequently, any project I'm working on is interrupted numerous times
