Laowai

Things are moving along a little too fast. The move is breathing down my neck. This week the moving company sent a guy to survey all the stuff that we will be shipping. Yikes that makes it all even more real. I had to do some paperwork for the shipping – part of it was estimating the value of EVERYTHING we own. That just seems so ridiculous. How do  you go about doing that? I picture myself counting every spool of thread in my sewing room and then moving onto the needles. Luckily I had some paperwork left over from our last move that listed stuff room by room so somehow I got that done. I’ve been sorting stuff all week – getting rid of things we don’t use. All the while thinking of which items we will need at our apartment and which ones will stay here. 

Thank you for all your kind comments about our move – it makes the hard part of moving much easier when your loved ones support you.

In other news – I finished my quilt! I think I could call this the procrastinating-thinking-about-moving quilt. Or I could call it the Foyle’s War quilt since I re-watched that whole series on PBS while I pieced it. I made this quilt in record time – just four months. It turned out such a happy quilt – I had to put it right on my bed and admire it. Then when Brian got home I made him hold it up for some pictures. Another benefit to having a tall husband.
