Finally.........

I'm baaack.  Wow.. what a year so far.  As soon as I put the lease on the shop life went on a whirlwind.  Most of it is good.. we had a farm that we had to sell so we moved into our condo and slowly began to move the stuff from the farmhouse.. we tried to sell the farm about 4 years ago and we had it on the market for over a year and less than 10 people even looked at it so I was assuming we were going to be sitting on the farm for awhile and I was in no hurry to get all my stuff out of it.  Well..  we listed it on a friday evening and had a contract by noon the following day.  Yeah!  Ohhh.. crap.  I don't have room for all my stuff...  guess where it went?  Yup.. the shop.  So sadly the shop had to become a storage facility as we rushed to get all our property off the farm.  Cash deal.. close in thirty days.. can't ask for better than that... unless your me and have/had your fabric stash stashed in 4 different rooms.. and now I'm in a condo.   I went into depression for a few months.. I just couldn't see the light.  I LOVE my stuff.  Some might call me a hoarder.. and I'm sure I'm borderline.. but if I already have it.. and I might some day need it.. why would I want to get rid of it?  You just never know.. ya know?   Well.. I finally found the incentive to get me off my hiney and make the shop what I always dreamed it would be.   I am getting a quilting machine.. woohoo!  I have spent the last 3 days cleaning at the shop.. I wouldn't say organizing.. but I have put everything in a place.   Tomorrow I will go to pick it up and bring it home.. might be a couple more days before I can convince the hubs to put it together but once that's done I can begin learning my machine and hopefully get my quilting business up and running to help pay for the shop.  I'm so excited!!!  Can't wait to get it all done and then I'll post some pics...
