I'm getting ready for an extended trip to Florida to set up a second household for us for a while (nothing bad happening, I just can't take this German weather anymore). I am in the middle of packing and totally stressing. Do you have any idea what it's like to go through all your sewing/knitting things (stash, tools, notions, trims, etc.) and decide what is absolutely essential and what you can do without? Harrowing and cruel, that's what it's like.
Now that I got that off my chest, I'm actually looking forward to finding a new place, painting, buying furniture (sparsely because it will have to fit into our next house with all the things we already have), and decorating. There won't be any sewing or machine knitting for me for a few weeks until the post office delivers my machines. There will, however, be pictures of the new place as it takes shape.
The blue wool crepe dress I cut out last week is almost finished; it only needs hemming. I have the hem basted so I can work on it at the hotel. I'll post pictures when it's completely finished.

I can imagine you had enough of the weather. Lucky you to be able to escape. Good luck with the move and all that's involved with that.
Yay for you! After four years here, I can't even tell you how tired of Germany I am (no offense to any Germans - it's just not "home" to me). I love my extended trips to see my family. Looking forward to seeing your new place!
Well, if you can't knit or sew, setting up a new home in a warmer climate sounds like a pretty good third choice!
Oh yea, thanks for the blog award! I've been so busy and now sick that it hasn't been updated for so long... Thanks!
Alexandra .- understand. I had a house for thirteen years. I never thought it could have so many things inside a house. I was scared when the truck road transport .... My best wishes to you. Paco
Keep us posted! From Germany to Florida--that IS quite a difference.
It's always fun to set up a new house. I'm looking forward to reading about your new adventures in the US. The sewing will happen soon enough.
Welcome home.
