The Great Bedroom Switch, Week 1

I've decided that I should post progress by week instead of day, as I don't get to make progress every day. In fact, I haven't done much at all this week. Once I get home, have dinner (and sometimes I'm the cook too), spend a little time with my family, I'm too pooped to pack!

Tonight DH was out, E watched a movie, and I filled some empty bins with fabric and other sewing "stuff". I even took apart my sewing machine table, which was easier than trying to get the whole thing down the steps and out to the porch for a run to the landfill tomorrow! It's all gravitating to the corner near my closet, and I think I can make enough space to move the desk the computer is on. That's my goal for tomorrow!

Meanwhile, I can't be totally without a sewing fix for the couple of weeks this is going to take, so I have reserved the bare essentials I'll need for my next sewing project, a purse! I had to pick E up from the camp bus today, but I was a few minutes early so I popped into a nearby quilt store. I just happened to have a purse pattern with me, The Whimsy Bag from Lazy Girl Designs. Purple and lime seem to be "my colors" this summer, so that's what I was looking for. I picked out 4 Moda fabrics and was off to pick up E just in time! The fabric is washing so I'll have to post a pic later.

I'm getting hooked on podcasts, so I surfed i-Tunes a bit and found some knitting blogs to alternate with the sewing blogs during my commute. Now that we have cable internet I can download in a snap! Wow!
