They are FINALLY finishing the house this week, the movers will bring back all our stuff from storage next Tuesday!
It's a shame it won't be before Easter, especially as the fire was also over a holiday weekend, but we'll take what we can get at this point.
I'm gonna spend evenings unpacking boxes for a bit, but hopefully I'll be able to rescue some of my old WIPs and get some quality stitching in again.
I know I still have to sort thru a box of WIPs that was in the room the fire was in. I know some are ok, as they were in heavyduty ziplock bags and will just need some airing out. Others I know are definitely gone for good, I just didn't have the heart to actually pitch them before I stored them in my basement for the duration. The 1/2 finished Angel of Cross Stitch is definitely toast, TW's Millenium and Woodland Faerie are as well. :-(
On a positive note, I'm going to start Long Dog's "Mouline Rouge" in burgundy on cream once we get settled in, it will go beautifully in my "new" bedroom!
The new job is going well. It's totally going to my head all the compliments I get over the work I do. It is definitely a welcome change over working retail where the only compliment I ever got was to be told I had the patience of a saint, because I kept smiling thru the Xmas rush!
