The Studio refresh from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

Yay! It’s finally done. Mostly.

I have no doubts that if you’re one of my regular readers, you know that I’m easily pleased by little (and some big) things that happen around here. The Hubs overthinks construction on the level that I overthink everything else, and I have to admit that sometimes he has better ideas than me. Yes, I can own that. So while I had what I thought were “there’s no way it won’t be anything but this” moments, serendipitous epiphanies happen while you’re arranging and rearranging, and they make me happy ...

Slow-poking it to the finish line from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

…or, time to take inventory, and make adjustments.

And things are getting settled, slowly—we were only able to take 2 days off when we moved in April, and since then the only time we have had off was when our granddaughter stayed with us for 3 weeks—and that was ...

Random thoughts on moving, packing, and stuff from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

In anticipation of the move to our new home, I started packing this tiny apartment in which we have crammed so much stuff and I remember thinking when we moved in that we need to stop collecting… stuff.

And it is all just stuff, right? And while I admire the minimalist lifestyle, I also love some of the little things that I admire not just for their beauty, but more for the memories they help me recall.

I know I’ve posted previously about stuff. But I have been pondering the “where will it land” for all of the stuff ...
