I have been avoiding the packing and last minute cleaning like it's the plague, but we just found out this morning that we don't have to wait until we close on our house to move to SC - they are willing to let us rent from them until the closing! Which means as soon as they are in their new home, we can move right in!
At this time, I'm not sure exactly when that will be, because they are still in the process of securing a place, but they mentioned tentatively the beginning of August. Which is soon. Real soon.
So today I finally broke down and started packing. Between me and my six year old we were able to get half of his room packed up and sort out a big box of toys to donate, and we listed a few bigger things we don't need anymore on Craigslist. I think G's room is cleaner than it has been since we moved in.
While I know I'm probably going to regret it since we will are trying to adjust to our new schedule, I am going to be pulling some late nights sewing Mon-stors up until the day I have to pack my studio up. I want to push through as much of my fabric stash as possible before the move because right now, it's a giant furry mess, and to be honest, I don't feel like sorting it all out and packing it.
(not to mention all of the money from Mon-stor sales this month is going straight into our moving fund. So hey, tell all your friends to check out LuandEd.com!)
So, if you don't see a lot of blog posts between now and mid-August, it's because I'll be busy packing and sewing! Be sure to follow me on Twitter and like Lu & Ed's Facebook page so you can see monsters as I make/list them in the shop!
Packing is no fun, I can see why you would put it off. We just moved from MN to NE while I was 8 weeks pregnant and with a 2 year-old "Assistant". I have an etsy shop and feared packing it all up knowing I would miss out on orders, decisions, decisions! Best of luck!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that sounds chaotic! I hope your move went well though! :) What is your etsy shop? I would love to check it out!
DeleteIt did go well! Just found out it is a boy so I am constantly stalking your shop looking for the perfect snuggle buddy for him :) There are so many cute ones to choose from! Here is my shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheVividPeach
