House move woe :|

Argh. In theory I was supposed to be moving in this weekend but ahahaha, no. Not going to happen. The kitchen was supposed to get fitted on Monday, but on Sunday the kitchen people texted us all 'We have an emergency! It'll be another week!' which, OK, but I'm pretty sure there aren't kitchen emergencies so your guess is as good as mine what they were REALLY doing.

Thus: still no kitchen, no real move in date (MAYBE next Thursday/Friday? Maybe.) and therefore: hard to say if there is much prospect of sewing for another week or so. SIGH. I really WANT to sew, I need the stress reduction that it provides and also, I really want to make up the two pieces of fabric that I bought in July. I am BARELY holding from a spoiled toddler tantrum. I WANT TO MOVE IN. I WANT TO SEW. I AM TIRED OF BEING IN LIMBO. Ugh. (On the other hand, being home with my mum is actually also great, so I am not a TOTAL toddler.)

I did manage a teeny tiny project today. I bought myself a long, wide quilting ruler when I moved back because I was struggling to make bias binding with the rulers I had. I've been meaning to buy one for ages, but I couldn't find a metric one that I liked/could afford. I finally found one on eBay just recently. I made three small pieces of fabric into bias binding -- one random fat quarter of white with pink roses that I got in a bag full of fabric, and two remnants of floral Liberty fabric that were too light for bag or pocket lining. The ruler definitely improved the process, so I am pleased with that purchase.

  1. There is nothing wrong with throwing a tantrum. Hell, If I don't toddler-out on occasion, I might hurt someone. =) I hope you're able to move soon so that you can get back to sewing!

    1. I could really fancy throwing a full on, stompy feet and pouting tantrum. Alas, I will need to pretend to be an adult for another week I guess. :|

      I had a brainwave though and hopefully I will be able to sew something TODAY if I manage to reorganize one of the few rooms that is semi-set-up enough to get to my sewing stuff. YAY. :D

    1. SOON. I am going to sew today though :D Or at least, adjust a pattern and cut out, even if I don't get to the sewing part, I hope. :D :D :D
