Hehehehehe!!!! Talk about brain dead... here I am scanning the messages here looking to see who won for March! And of course you message jogged my memory that it was myself... I will choose a block and Post it on April first... we are just about completed with the move now... and am I glad!!!! I was finally able to pull out some fabrics yesterday and begin some quilting projects... I also am finishing up my post cards to send out for my change of address to so many here as well as other places... I needed to be able to do something creative through all this jumbled up mess!!!! I had only been here a few days when I started to question if I made the right choices... but already I am feeling much more settled and know that things are right and good. But I can assure you all that moving is something that I NEVER want to do again in this lifetime! Both my serger and sewing machine are now on my work table as is my computer and the network is again in order. The bbs is back up and functioning . the new printer is installed and I am even finding the basics that are slowly getting unpacked... the washer and dryer are working and the jucuzzi is the best! And the "view" is worth a million dollars all by itself!!!! And of course I love the quiet surroundings. It is going to be a bit before my cabinets are all installed and all my things are put away properly, but that goes with the turf... so I will be in boxes for awhile. But at least I am finding the basics and that is the important thing for now. I am excited about getting back into the swing of things. I also want to acknowledge that I have received a few mini blocks for the MQBE from Feb. Right now I am not sure if I already acknowledged them or not.. and because I am soooooo brain dead I can only remember that Shauna Charron sent me two... I know that someone else sent me a bow tie block also... I will look it up when I find where I put them in this organized confusion! Mail is still arriving at both addresses right now... so we are still back and forth getting the final things done at the old house. I will be so glad when all that is done! Thank you and everyone for being so patient with me!

Well we are almost fully moved now... I think there is only one more load of things from the house and the "deep" cleaning that has to be done... and the stuff in the garage will stay there for a bit longer... that is arranged with the new owner. It is very strange indeed... but it is a good thing... just different for me . I haven't had the chance yet to check on the price of the #36wt paper yet... but I haven't forgotten either... I am just still up to my ears in boxes... I only found some fabrics last night and did a bit of stitching for the first time yesterday... it felt really good to do too! I was able to get some RS'ing done though.. I made some post cards for my change of address to send to people... they are going out in the mail tomorrow morning. I just finished putting the stamps on all of them.

I am soooooooo far behind on the mail here. Needless to say there has been just so much to be doing and the ole body is not always cooperating with me as I would like it to! I poop out real fast and easy .. *** Quoting Jeannelou Truitt to Julia Sidebottom dated 03-17-97 *** > Dear Julia, > By the time you recieve this, i hope you are settled into your new > home and comfortable.

I love having all the "space" that I have here to move around in.. and the setting is just georgeous with all the wooded land around me... I don't think Jerry or Sandy are going to let me over do to much more... I really over did it there on the major moving day and it knocked me down for several days... and I do not like being teathered to an oxygen concentrator!!!! so I definitly had to mind my self there! I won't do anything to stupid ... *** Quoting Jeannelou Truitt to Julia Sidebottom dated 03-17-97 *** > I am recovering from a weekend of offering my handiwork to the SCA, > that portion of it that managed to find our booths.

It sounds like you were having a lot of fun... I know just how much you like your SCA! Though I can't imagine you not having some kind of crafty things going on even while you are on the road... How is Wayne feeling? better I hope! Have a save trip north...

Got your > craft supplies handy? ;) Things are starting to come together... though when I am reading here I am finding I have missed a great deal in the last several weeks! My crafting supplies for the most part remain in boxes for right now... but I have a good idea where things are when I need them... my fabrics are at hand as are my sewing machines, rubber stamps and stampings supplies... those are the basics right now that I want to be able to get at at the drop of a dime! Other supplies and projects will just have to wait until my cabinets are in or if/when I really need to dig something out special. The new house is just wonderful! I love it... it is soooo much larger than what I was in before... and that alone is something to behold... and the scenery is great! I love having the woods to look out onto every morning and evening... and of course I just love the quiet that I have here... that is one of the best parts of all! There was one night though that I was a bit meloncholy about things... and I think it was just that I have had so much happen in such a short time... and it was hitting me rather hard all at one time. but I am over it and going forward... I suppose such things are to be expected with a major change like this... ... I suppose though as far as being settled it is going to take some time before I feel really settled in... but I am working on it...

I am just now trying to play catch up on the zillions of messages here. ... I will post on S&Q all the FQ's that I have so far received shortly... just haven't gotten there yet ... Mail is still arriving both places and we are picking up squishies at both sites yet... my official change of address goes into effect April 1st... I still have soooo many people to contact... it will take weeks to get all of this done... but I am doing a bit every day. I am sending out 60 post cards tomorrow morning to many people with the change of address and phone number. I made them myself needless to say.. I needed something to relax myself with during these stressful days.
