getting settled

This past Saturday was a whirlwind. With the help of about 6 people from church, the majority of my stuff made its way from the townhome to my new house. This included quite the adventure involving the boxspring to my bed, a roll of Saran wrap and a Toyota Vibe.

Wrapping in progress


Getting in the now wrapped shut car....Dukes of Hazard style.


Also got the living room furniture delivered from the Mart. And after it was delivered I made the discovery that not all of it would fit into my living room. So the loveseat made its way to the basement. I have said goodbye forever to the orange/rust flowered confection that was my old loveseat, to the two old endtables that belonged to my parents but had a huge amount of storage under them and to the awful lamps that I got at a garage sale for $20.

My bedroom went from looking like this.


To looking like this.


To the final finished product with all the furniture in place.


I've done almost no knitting. Just a few rounds on my second Jaywalker sock, a pattern repeat on the baby blanket for a coworker, and a single repeat on Branching Out. Although I did make sure that my stash was the first thing to be moved to the new house.

Now I'm really feeling the urge to get myself a spinning wheel. There's just so much room at the house I feel like I need to fill it up. I'm leaning towards an Ashford. Either the Traveller or the Joy. All of you spinners out there, help me decide!!
