Where Did All This Fabric Come From?

We're selling our house, which means the fabric and sewing supplies have to be boxed up to move.

UGH!

I'm avoiding having my husband help box it up because he might see EXACTLY how much fabric I really have in that room, though I think he gets it since he's the one carrying all the boxes downstairs. It's multiplying faster than I can box it up...kind of like that Star Trek episode with the Tribbles!

My three year old Monkey Boy said, "It looks like a tornado in here." 
Yes, it does sweetie, but I assure you it is all good stuff and
NO you don't need your headlamp to find your way through the fabric! 

My six year old Monkey Boy told me to make sure the next house has a craft room. 
He knows what's important! 
I have a section in my sewing room that is set-up 
just for the Monkey Boys to work on projects of their own.

YES, Debby K., I am working on my hexies in the middle of packing.

Monkey Baby wanted to help with those hexies. He loved watching all those
stitches switch from one to another...and another...and another. 
But, who cares! Look at those big brown eyes!

Off I go to sew, pack, sew, pack, sew, pack...whew!
I'm too old for this moving stuff!

Another fabulous blog hop coming our way beginning August 21st!

  5. Good luck with the move! I am an odd bird I do not mind moving. We have done it so often for DHs job that I sort of look forward to the change of scenery, the reorganizing etc.

  8. Hi!
    I am in the middle,of that business too!
    I gave away at least half of my sewing room, some to a newbie quilter, my OLD stuff, good for her to practice with, some really nice left overs too! My sewing room is now a bedroom with a single,bed, with my sewing projects hidden in all sorts of spots!
    Great Luck with selling, our home is still stuck in limbo, do not know why!
    Take care, Leslie

  10. Hope your new home has everything that you could want--with lots of sewing space! best of luck in your move.
    I laughed when i read your post about your fabric. My hubby isn't allowed in my sewing room just because of that very thing. He is 70 years old and I would hate for him to have a heart attack. Some things are better left alone. LOL The boys are so cute. Great kids. They know what mommy needs.

    Good luck moving!

  12. We're moving in about a month, but both my parents and my inlaws have taken a few small loads home with them every time they've visited (we're moving to be closer to family). Well, let's just say that I made sure most of my fabric and crafty boxes went home with my parents... although, since we're moving in with my inlaws until they decide if they want to buy or build a new house, I'm sure they'll figure out that I have *too much* fabric sooner or later :)

  13. I don't envy your moving, it is a big help with cleaning your sewing area though, LOL! The Monkey boys look like they are enjoying Grandma's toys.
