So, here I am, a few weeks from my last post, living in Las Colinas. Los Colinas is a part of Irving and Irving is a suburb of Dallas. Had you told me two months ago that this is where I would be, I would have called you a joker. The decision was easy to make as I'm here to be closer to family.
Me and the dog have found a nice place to take walks near my
apartment. Isn’t it pretty?
This new apartment is smaller than my last, in fact I’ve
stayed in larger hotel rooms! This means I have room for only the basics. My sewing things and the dog are included, but not much else. I have to
tell you that this was purposefully done. My goal is to get organized and own
only things I really love or must have; all else will go by the wayside. This is
a huge transition and one meant to force me into sorting out what is and is not
important.
It hasn't been painless but so far nothing too horrible. There has been a ticket and a smashed toenail. My cell phone has zero signal strength in the apartment (wi-fi to the rescue?) and the toilet seat is sized for a young child. On the plus side, the ice maker produces beautifully clear ice and I have been enjoying lots of iced tea (can't find the k-cups for the Breville). Other than that, the sewing machines are still in boxes as are the fabrics, the unfinished Style Arc Jenny shirt and the quilt. Now, I did
finish the Style Arc Barb pants before I moved and they fit great! The fabric I
chose is better for fall/winter, so for once I’m ahead of the season.
My main living space is floor to ceiling boxes with
furniture scrunched in between. There is but a narrow passage to the window
blinds wands so I can adjust for natural light. I’m curious how long it will
take to sort through and get settled…
I miss sewing.
