Right now I am blogging from a hotel somewhere in South Dakota! We left Illinois yesterday & are making our way across the country to our new home. Of course I couldn’t go without blogging :) Although this is going to be a short post I think, since I don’t really have any photos… Once we get to the other end of our journey, I think I will have lots to post though. I did get my sewing machine back for a bit before the move, so I have several finished projects to share (Capello & Amanda can expect their 2nd blogiversary prizes in the mail hopefully soon :). I guess in the meantime enjoy the previous post from Pounce & hopefully I will have internet access for real soon :)

an entry from pounce
Pounce here… Mum said I could write a post, since she has been too busy with this “move thing” to post lately. All I know is that my humans have been very busy & lots of strange people have been over (I guess to look at renting our place & something about surveyors to figure out how much stuff we have to move). I don’t really like strangers, so I just hide under the bed when anyone is over.
Anyways, mum thought I needed a good toy to keep me distracted & happy. I really loved the owl that Laurie made her & I thought it should just be mine, but mum kept saying something about it being hers (if you ask me I think she’s crazy, since it clearly is a bird & everyone knows that birds are for cats!). Laurie was so sweet though & sent me some scraps from the fabric she used so that mum could make me some toys. So now I have my very own little handmade mouse to play with.
I kept bugging mum while she was stitching the mouse, so when she finished it and was about to take a photo of it I decided to just take off with it…
After all she did say it was mine! :)
I am also supposed to mention that mum got her sewing machine back from the repair shop & it apparently works. (Although she still sounds frustrated with it every time she sews…) So I think she might post a little bit about some things she has been working on if she has a spare moment… (I don’t know where she thinks that is going to come from though, since clearly any time not spent working on this move should be spent tossing my new mouse so I can fetch it!)
Well I hope everyone is having a great week so far! I am off to go catch a sunbeam or two…
more about the move
I just wanted to say thank you all for your wonderful comments on our upcoming move. I plan to email each of you individually, but wanted to say thanks here too :) It is starting to sink in that we will be moving in less than 2 weeks & I feel like I should be doing more. I have packed a few things myself, but we are having movers come in and pack the rest so there isn’t much to do with that. Although there are still plenty of other things to get done (just not as much fun as packing in my opinion), so there is a lot of move prep stuff going on around here.
Besides preparing for the move there isn’t much else going on… my sewing machine actually decided to completely die on Tuesday night while I was in the middle of working on a project. So that meant I couldn’t give it to my sister as planned or finish the projects I had planned on working on this past week… Instead I did take it in to the sewing repair shop & should find out if it is fixable either today or tomorrow. I am still planning on a new machine after we move, but I had really hoped to finish some of the projects I had been working on before we moved. If it isn’t able to be fixed, I guess I will just have to wait though… Oh well! (Side note: I will never, ever buy anything brother brand again after the experience I had with this machine…. their customer support was terrible & I have had so many problems with this thing. End rant – sorry just had to express my frustration. :)
Project 365 is still going strong though & I made a new mosaic for the month of February. I did actually forget to take a photo one day (for the first time since I started the project), but I had taken several the day before so I used one from that day instead. So go ahead & take a look at some of my project 365 photos from February (links to each photo below the mosaic)…
