HI! didja miss me?

Wowsers, it's been an eventful couple of months at my house.  At my NEW house, of course — where I'd say we are about 2/3 unpacked by now.

I'm estimating it will take until December to get the rest unpacked and put away, donated, recycled, or thrown away.  Way back in the beginning, I said this was going to be a year-long project.  We first went out househunting with the realtor on December 29th, so at this point I'm still sticking with my original estimate.  (Although I keep hearing from people about how they have boxes still to unpack from moves that were three years ago.)

I’m kinda bizz-ee

(Yeah, Lady Gaga got that line from me.  It's OK, we're soul sisters.)

For me, the last few weeks have been all about NEW HOUSE and especially, FRESH PAINT.

Up to now, most of it has been pretty no-brainer stuff.  For instance, I chose which bedroom is going to be the studio:  one of them is half a foot bigger, and has a much larger closet.  That was easy.

Reminder to Sign Up for Sweater Class

Just a brief post to remind anyone who is interested in the Summer Sweater Class at Garden Home — registration for summer term started yesterday morning.  (The start of THPRD registration is usually pretty crazy, what with people trying to get their kids into every class under the sun, so I held off a day on the reminder.  No one needs to spend extra knitting time on hold.)
