March 5: Boxed

Because of our upcoming move and the fact that we traveled to Vermont with only the truck and a 6x10 trailer, we have had to do some thinking about how to move all we brought and the furniture Kevin has built back to South Dakota without hiring someone.  We decided that we would drive to South Dakota for my niece's wedding.  That way we will accomplish several things in one trip.  It is not going to be a short drive by any means, but we will be there for the wedding, take a load for storage, and have a vehicle to use while we are house hunting.

Deciding what should stay and what should go into storage was a challenge, but in the long run it will all work out just fine.  I am keeping my Bernina and serger here and taking the HQ and table to storage.  I am keeping several UFOs and a couple of possible ideas here, and taking the rest of the fabric and books to storage.  I am also taking a few other items that would take space in the trailer than might be needed for other things and that I can survive without for a couple of months.  All in all, we have pared down but still have some of the creature comforts.

For the remainder of the morning I am going to create a unique wedding card that will also give information about the wedding quilt.  Figure if they like it, this might be a quilt that will be passed down or at least stay with them for years to come.  Photos of the quilt will be coming soon.  Now it is time to create.
