...truly is a virtue! I was bound and determined that I was moving back in my sewing room on Thursday. Guess what???, didn't happen (sigh)! The floor was still tacky on Thursday and still tacky on Friday. So today was the day for the big move. I was able to move in lots of smaller components back in myself.
All went well until my help arrived to move this monstrosity into place.
I wanted to free up this area for my cutting table that's been residing in my living room for over a year now.
Sure, moving the cutting table back into the sewing room will make it a bit crowded (thank you again for my wonderful cutting table Brenda), but I am determined to corral all sewing matter back into the sewing area. After all, isn't that what a dedicated sewing area is all about??? Around here sneaky little sewing matter has a knack of escaping out and moving into other rooms of the house. Of course my corralling efforts does not include the summer fabric stash that lives on the top shelves of my bedroom closet. (Isn't that where you keep yours?)
So I came up with the bright idea of placing the pattern cabinet under the book shelves next to the sewing table. It is soooo heavy, and wouldn't you know it?, the move scratched the floor in three places. Yet another small delay. When one of the movers yelled out, "Oh no, we'll have to go over these areas again". I shouted WAIT A MINUTE! I need to pull some patterns first!!! Of course they both thought I was crazy - and maybe I am just a little bit. But please understand, I haven't been able to get into those pattern drawers for almost two weeks, I think. (Mind you, I've completely lost track of all sense of time at this point). I needed to get to a McCall's skirt pattern really badly! You know wet floor and all - THE CARNIVAL MUST GO ON!!! Tomorrow is another day...
