Catching Up

Whew! It's been along time since I posted! I'm not sure why I got out of it...I think it was that I was reading so many other blogs and online groups that when I was done I was out of time or exhausted and just couldn't blog. I've been working on curbing my computer time so I'm going to try the blog thing again. I like it as a way of keeping track of my quilting.

I'm joining the Halloween quilt retreat hosted by Susan and will attempt to post my progress here.

The other issue is that I haven't really been sewing much. I've been working on rearranging my quilting spaces. I started it during the summer and would have thought I would have it all done by now, but I've run into some issues that have slowed me down. First one was that my helper, my nephew Travis, broke his arm pitching. Now he's off to college. Hard to move stuff myself...The second issue is that I discovered that the cat was peeing in the room I was moving my quilting frame to...guess she was trying to tell me that she had cystitus again...So the move into that space is stalled. I've gotten the smell out, but when I use the black light I still see lots of areas that glow. I'm going to treat it again today, this time I'm going to use a carpet shampooer with pet shampoo and X/O added. I've used Nature's Miracle on it 2 or 3 times now without success...any ideas?

This is what my sewing room looks like this morning. This is the view to the right entering the room.

And this is the view looking to the left.

It's rather overwhelming to me when I walk in there. Alot of stuff has already been relocated to the garage. I'm going to try and get the rest of the stuff packed up today after I get back from my doctor appointment and errands. Most of the cabinets are emptied and I will have to figure how to get them moved so I can paint the walls. I figure I can at least move them into the center of the room when I get the stuff out. I'm aiming for putting down the new floor over the Thanksgiving weekend when Travis is home from college to help me. We'll see....
