Did I Say 'Exciting'??

Did I say this whole moving thing was "exciting"?

What was I thinking?

 This whole change thing....is FRIGHTENING!!

We've run the gamut from excited.

To nauseous.

To sad.

To excited! 

What the heck are we DOING?

In the words of Birdie Conrad (You've Got Mail),

We're daring to imagine that we can have a different life!

So it's time to get down to business!

 Quite the daunting task ahead!

Packing up!

If you follow me on Instagram, then you probably already

know what our decision is!

  

Yep! 

Texas!

We're going back to Dallas!

It's where we met. 

Where we started.

Where there is NOT 6 months of winter!

I advised the office yesterday,

and we're trying to see if it will be feasible for me to work remote

from home down there.

I'm all for giving that a try!  Though I'm not sure if it will

all come together.  I'm hopeful.  

Keep your fingers crossed!

If it doesn't work out, then it's not meant to be and there's

something else waiting for me in the Big D!

I've got six weeks to pack up 21 years!

There WILL be a thinning of sorts taking place around here!

For my sanity, 

I will still be squeezing in creative endeavors while packing and readying

for the move!

I've been doing at least two long rows on my

WearWithAll Stole every day.

Thank goodness for knitting.  It calms my nerves and settles the mind

when I start overthinking our decision and wondering

WHAT THE HECK WE ARE DOING??

Change is HARD.  It's SCARY.

And it is a bit exciting too!

*Peace!

Happy Mothers Day!

 Hello, Happy Sunday and Happy Mothers Day!

It's been a nice, relaxing, somewhat lazy day around here, 

and I am so okay with that!

I decided, because it's Mother's Day, to start a new sampler!

Frances Pool 1832 - 30ct WDW Parchment - WDW & GAST 2 over 2

I decided to start Frances Pool. 

I'm using the linen and threads as designed.  The color of the Weeks Parchment linen isn't coming across in my photo correctly, because it's a very nice warm linen!

Hoping the 30ct will enable me to get this one done in a somewhat normal amount of time!

The pups have been enjoying the lazy day too!

 

Hope you did something special today!

*Peace!

Aaaaah....Saturday!

 

I do love me a Saturday!  It's a lounging kind of morning for me!

I appreciate the response to my 'Loading Up' post, but feel as if I should clear up some things!

Does this look like a picture of someone who's in the process of moving??

ha!  

I should have been more clear in that we are not RIGHT NOW moving.

This is the year that we have decided we WILL be moving!

We are not sure, at this moment, if it will be just across town to a new home here,

or if it will be across a few states back to Dallas and a warmer climate!

Or to small-town Nebraska where a grandchild lives!  

We just know we ARE MOVING this  year!

Exciting to have choices to make!

Not so exciting is the thought of boxing up stuff!

Thus the process begins of sorting through stuff

and readying for a move that may happen in a month, 

or in three months,

or in the fall!

But be assured, once the decision is made,

you'll be the first to know!

It's all just so exciting, isn't it?

If only the decisions were a bit easier and we weren't so 'cautious'.

I'm just about ready to throw caution to the wind!

I mean...if not now, then when??

I love new chapters!

*Peace!

Loading Up!

 

This is the year of the move for the hubs and I!

In preparation for loading up and moving out, 

I'm loading up the Etsy shop!

Be sure and stop in from time to time as I continue

to unearth various treasures that have

been stored away!

I'll be adding things weekly!

Happy Friday!

*Peace!

Petting

I had a lovely package in my mailbox yesterday! As I briefly flipped through these books, I lovingly pet the cover when I was done. The hubs thought I was a tad bit off my rocker. Yes. I pet my books. Don't you?
