Moving
Well, it happened. After months of not being able to pay rent combined with my parents desire to get their own house and stop living with John and Karin, they have decided to sell the house. Unfortunatly now we have to find a new place to live. Which isn't bad in itself, we just wern't ready yet. I went out and got an Iwanta and an Apartment Finder to see if we can find a place. I'malso interested in checking with realtors to see if its possible to buy a house for around $450 a month. Maybe, maybe not, but we shall see.
Right now we are looking for the cheap places that allow animals. I just wish we made more money so we could have a larger selection to choose from. If I had $950 a month extra i could use to pay for this house. We would probably find another place to live. There are some things that Ann doesn't like about this place and I admit, there are things I dont like either. No bathroom downstairs for example. Plus this house, while having ample room, is probably more than we need. It took a long while to figure out what to do with the back bedroom.
All we really need is a 2 bed, 1 1/2 bath, living room, dining room, kitchen, and some kind of storage room. Garage is nice and so is a carport, but not needed. Would make it nicer if I ever had to do wood working stuff or cut more barriers for the ferts.
We're thinking of selling alot of the stuff we have, such as the downstairs tv stand, Doug's old dresser, futon, dining room table, my desk and probably something else I havent thought of. I just hope everything works out for the best.
Its one thing to want to move, but quite another when you are told you have to move.

Augusta Sew Day
We had our first Augusta sew day on Saturday and it was fun. We had lots of food too. We managed to start almost 50 bedding items and finish around 35. After the helpers took the ones they earned as well as purchased we had over 20 to give to the shelter. That was really good for 10 people and only 6 hours or so of real work. Had lots of fun fuzzy time too.
Sue started the assembly with the matching fabric and fleece. Then it was me with the cutting. Back to Sue for the initial pinning, then over to Florence or one of the other sewers for the initial stich. After that it was pinned again by Rita then passed over to Karen or one of the others for the stich around. Mom then flipped it inside out and poked the corners out. After that the hole is stitched by one of the sewers and handed back to be folded appropriately for hammie or sleep sack, the clips added and pinned. Then the final stitch is done and its finished.
We ended up with lots of leftover food and drinks which we ate the next day for lunch and will probably be eating for the rest of the week. Everyone had fun including Ann's mom who had so much fun she volunteered her home for the next sew day and said she would come to the next intown sew day. Pretty cool, no? And thats even after I forced her downstairs to help out.
Fun stuff...
