2 weeks and counting
Well.....2 weeks from now we should be moving. That would mean that I should be packing NOW. However, I am not. I did get boxes yesterday, and even 3 rolls of newsprint to wrap with but I am not motivated to actually begin putting things in the boxes.
2 reasons:
a) It is hard to believe we're really buying a brand new house and we will be living there.
b) I don't want to start the chaos that is involved with packing and moving. Because, you know, as soon as you pack that first box, all h*ll breaks loose and you are in a constant state of turmoil until you have been in the new place at least 3 weeks. That means if I start now, I will be in turmoil for the next 5 weeks at the VERY LEAST.
So. I'll wait until tomorrow, then it will only be 4 weeks, 6 days of turmoil. Gotta preserve every minute of sanity I can, you know.

I've got a hankerin' for rhubarb muffins
Is it almost rhubarb time in Iowa? I don't know if they grow it here. If they don't, what do they wear in the spring?
Appearances are deceivng
While it may appear that I have a LOT of hair, the truth is
I'm going bald. I think I get this from Grama Frances-she had beautiful hair, just not much of it. I hope this is not a harbinger of my future hair life.

Eye candy
I went a bit crazy at the home dec fabric store last week. They'll whack off a piece of whatever you like, and the great part is this: every single bolt is $7.99 a yard. I think I've found my checkbook a new friend.
Does this look familiar?
Remember when something was "fixin'to happen" in my sewing room? This is the result, and it isn't what I envisioned. Please give your opinions. Really, I'd like to hear them.
