No Moving Anywhere Today...
But I did finish the top for my Crazy Quilt!If you can believe it, the lawyer for the purchaser never got the mortgage organized for today, and in the meantime the moving company cancelled our moving date anyway... so we are still here, with a new moving date of next Tuesday. We couldn't believe it when we called the moving company yesterday afternoon. In the morning they had told us they could move it all into storage today even if we didn't move it to the house. When we called, they had cancelled the whole thing, no moving to the house, no moving to storage, nothing, so even if by some miracle the house purchase could have been completed today, we couldn't moved anyway. Ugh. I hate moving. All our pots and pans are packed, as up until yesterday afternoon we were working on the premise that we would be packing into storage today. Hello takeaway, bye bye Weight Watchers till next week!
In order to destress last night, I finished up my last few crazy quilt blocks and sewed them together with no sashing and a brown border. Thanks for all the good opinions on that previous post...I like them set without the sashing!
Anyway, we will be camping out here in the house till Tuesday, so evenings will be filled with Dear Jane sewing and my new knitting project...fuzzy pink scarves for the girls this winter! I'll be signing off the computer on Sunday and DH will bring the computer in his car Monday when he heads back to work. It may be a week or two or three before post again, or I may just be an addict and pay per minute for dialup every once in a while.
You may see some Dear Jane progress or knitting progress later this weekend...as I am still well addicted to reading my blogs and will not be able to stay away, LOL!
Off with the family into town to donate some toys to charity shops, and return library books...and get some Subway subs for lunch - they made it here to the wilds of Ireland!

I don't think any move ever goes smoothly because there are so many outside variables that you cannot control--even if you do it all yourself, something can not time out correctly on the other end.
Hang in there, Cathi--check in when you can. Library have internet--that's what I do when mine is down.
oh my. what a setback but glad you will put your time to some good use!
I would be so lost without the internet! I think your crazy quilt looks great without sashing.
Oh Cathi, how discouraging to not move when planned. You seem to be handling it a lot better than most folks. Maybe sewing is truly a stress buster.
Good luck with your move. I DETEST moving! We'll be looking for news whenever you have a chance to check back in.
I can't believe you will be fitting Dear Jane into your situation! You need to avoid anything that brings you stress. Moving is a HUGE stress by itself! Good luck with it all! Relax when you are able.
Oh Cathi, I'm so very sorry! I was crossing my fingers so hard and sending such positive thoughts - obviously they didn't work. I can't begin to imagine the stress and disappointment you must be feeling! Keep telling yourself it will eventually happen. In the meantime you'll get some Dear Jane stitching done. We will sure miss you while you are offline.
Anything new on your cousin? I think of her often and send my thoughts and prayers her way.
how incredibly frustrating! I can't imagine the plans changing like that and no one even bothering to keep you "in the loop". No wonder you hate moving.
That crazy quilt came out looking great!
Do you plan to embellish it with buttons and beads and stuff now or just use a lot of stitches in the quilting?
Sounds like you need a Calgon moment...wishing I could do something to help you out, I posted to my blog a wish for you.
I hope you don't have to move again for a long time! The Crazy quilt is great. What kind of embellishing are you going to do?
It was good you could destress with your sewing. It has been very good theraphy to me. I moved in to a new apartment at easter time and I know the feeling you have. Luckily my moving people came when they should and they were working fast. But it is stressful. Just look forward to install in you new sewingroom. I look forward to see how your new place looks like.
I wish you the best.
I hope the move issues are all oer by now, and that it goes off without a hitch tomorrow!
