Done Unpacking

It only took a month and a week! Well at the end there, it was basically one box. That stupid "Crap, Crap, Crap" box was a toughy. It is hard to find places for all those odd items. In the kitchen I don't have enough drawers for a junk drawer so I have a crap shelf-open for all to see. Can't wait to get to Ikea and get a solution for that!


This is our box tally. The rule was when you broke down the box, you marked a tally. So we had 109 boxes, when I had guessed 63 and Mike 58. WOW!!! is right. That's a lot of boxes. And a lot of stuff. But I knew we had a lot of stuff.

So now I'm just enjoying being home on my days off and doing normal upkeep things. Like laundry, making bread and cleaning. Although, there are still apartment things to be done. But I think anyplace I live is always going to be a work in progress. Like today I turned one full length curtain into two half length curtains for the front windows. I love working on my sewing machine that sits out in my Sun Room...

This is my favorite room. Partially because it has all my stuff in it. But REALLY because it faces south and so gets sun ALL day, unlike the living room that is dark all day. The room that had my stuff in it before was dark all day and I never wanted to be in there and so was always trucking stuff out into the sunnier dining room. Not anymore.
Now I have a sunny room and so I can't wait to get my chores done so I can retreat to my room with a book on cd and my knitting.
The best part is looking at this crazy bunch of stuff and feeling inspired. Even if it looks a little chaotic, I love it. Especially the Tower-O-Yarn.
