the jet lag is gone. that only took 12 days! it left just in time for me to take off on the next trip, which was fortunately not a disruptive time change. i am home again with just enough time to pack up my house to move out for upcoming renovations. so i really don't see any sewing in my near future.
i left my space pretty tidy, don't you think? whenever i do get to step back in here, i will be able to get right back to work. "groovy liberty" went on the last trip with me for i had high hopes of lots of beach time hand stitching. didn't happen. i held babies a lot instead, which was a fair trade.
"frosted forest star" is still sitting on original juki waiting for all the tension issues to be worked out so i can finish quilting the last "stella grande."
with a house to pack up, this room getting closed down, and 3 more trips upcoming, i am not hopeful for handling needles or fabric, completing projects, or being in this space until further notice. at the earliest, i won't be done travelling til july, but with this room sealed off from contractor dust and entry, i don't know how i will get around to any sewing until it opens back up sometime later this year. the contractor said the project will take 3-4 months, beginning in june, so i've got my fingers crossed we're back in the house by christmas because i know how contractor estimates go. there is always the probability that i will do some procrastisewing or distraction stitching in the middle of the imminent chaos, in which case i will pop back here for a report. pending that, i'm signing off for a while.
happy summer to those in the northern hemisphere, happy sewing to you who will be busy making.
see you when i can!
