I was supposed to be part of the black cat crossing blog hop - see the button on my side bar. I had my fabric and pattern picked out and ready to go.
Then two weeks ago my husband was unexpectedly transfered. We had two weeks to pack, find a place, and get settled. Today, when I should have been putting the final touches on my post and project I packed the moving van. I was so jazzed about this hop and don't even have the internet to play along. I'm posting from my sketchy phone. Sorry to disappoint and I hope you enjoy the hop and come back to see me when I have internet and a computer again.
Here are the other stops on the hop. My silly phone won't do links. I so so wish I could have played along! There was just no time.

| Here's my cute fabric from the Black Cat Crossing line. I was going to do some houses from Camille Roskelley's Dwell pattern and an appliqued cat. I even bought some awesome glow-in-the-dark thread! |

Life happens - in a blurry sometimes. But I spy the broom in the room.
ReplyDeleteYou still have some nice fabric to use for a future project. I hope the hop inspires you to sew as soon as you can! :)

ReplyDeleteI understand, sometimes things happen that we cannot control. Hope to see you next time.
ReplyDeleteHappy moving! We have our place for sale so I hope we are moving soon! :)

ReplyDeleteLife happens. Just think how early you will be with next years creations. Happy and safe move.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the move, hope it goes smoothly, moving is stressful enough even when everything goes according to plan!
ReplyDeleteLife can sometimes be that way. When you get settled in you'll have to put together that quilt. Till then have a safe move. :-)

ReplyDeleteI'm one of those crazy people who like moving....love the unpacking and organizing and creating a new home. :) But I'd miss sewing too! blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteYou will back up and running soon! Here's to settling in soon with a great home, new sewing space and more projects!!!
ReplyDeleteGood wishes to you and the hubby!!!
It won't be long and you'll be back in the sewing chair, creating some amazing things. We too are getting ready to be in the middle of a move. Just got the word on Monday. My mind is in a whirlwind!
ReplyDeleteYou are Forgiven sweetie...Life Happens!! I'm sure you will be back up asap. Just be grateful your husband has a job. Many of my sewing friends have husbands layed off and can't find jobs.
ReplyDeleteBlessings

Just keep thinking about these fun fabrics that you'll soon be able to use to create something awesome. Good luck with the move and I look forward to seeing your new creations soon. :-)
ReplyDeleteDon't feel so bad. Some things are more important than others.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your move!
ReplyDeleteJust think of it as an early start on next years blog hop! Happy New Home.
ReplyDeleteThat's life in the pumpkin patch....just take care of what you need to do...don't envy you the move and all that goes with it...Good Luck!!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Evelyn, think positive. Good luck with the move and happiness in your new home.
ReplyDeleteThat is a shame! Good luck on the move. I hope everything goes smoothly and am wishing you loads of love and luck in your new home! I am amazed you even posted anything at all! So well done.

Sometimes life just gets in the way of what we love to do most. Wishing you the best in your new home and hope you can get back to sewing very soon.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your move. Hope you're all unpacked and ready to go soon. We moved 5 days before Christmas last year, not a great time to move, but then when is a good time!
ReplyDeleteYep, life happens! I was supposed to finish my quilt show entry and hand it in by Thursday, but...life happened. Got some unexpected additions to the calendar. Oh well. I am impressed that you can pack up and move in two weeks!
ReplyDeleteTwo weeks to pack? I couldn't have done it. Good luck to you with your new home.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the move and hope you get your sewing space set up quickly in your new place!
ReplyDeleteFamily comes first and bless you for being so flexible to pack and move in just two weeks time. There will be lots more hops with Madamm Samm and her brilliant ideas. May you soon have your sewing space up and humming...
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your move. Happy Halloween.
ReplyDeleteLife happens and we just have to deal with it! I could never pack and move in 2 weeks, so I know you have been really under the gun. I hope you find a new place to live with a fabulous craft room for you to create in. We'll be back for the next hop you are in and I would love to see a picture of your finished Black Cat Crossing quilt!!!
ReplyDeleteI know your project would have been wonderful. Good luck in your new home.
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I don't envy your move but I'm keeping you in my prayers that all goes well!
ReplyDeleteBeth
Good luck on your move!

Hi!!!! Best wishes with your move!!!!! I will be back to see your projects later!!!!! Sometimes ha ha a lot of the times Life gets in the way!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes on your move, I hope it goes smoothly for you!
ReplyDeleteThe U S Army moved us 21 times in 23 years....many times with two weeks notice. I can also unpack 17 000 lbs of STUFF and have the house ready for visitors in 3 days. Aren't women amazing? Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteI can not imagine getting that news and having only 2 weeks! I wouldn't even be able to wrap my mind around moving let alone house hunt and pack to leave. Amazing! I look forward to your participation in one of the next hops.
ReplyDeleteSounds like everyone understands. Aren't the majority of sewers great people. I too hope your move goes as smoothly as possible. Stuff happens. Take a deep breath and try to enjoy the ride and try to rest before the unpacking. Wishing you many blessing in your new home.

ReplyDeleteLife hand us lemons sometimes, hopefully you will have a tasty lemonade soon. You will be back to sewing and showing soon...

ReplyDeleteWow....2 weeks to move! That sounds stressful. Settle in and soon you will get your sewing room back up and going!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a very smooth move! Before you know it, you will be sewing beautiful things at your new place.
ReplyDeleteTake care,

Sometimes, you can plan as much as you can and it won't work, I know, but this is life and I just hope for your and your family that you will very soon settle down and feel confortable at your new home! We are witches, so we have lots and lots of magical power, I will beam you even some more from Switzerland, were I am living!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry but hopefully you'll get the chance to make your project soon.
ReplyDeleteAs someone who endured 2 moves in 6 months with DH job, I understand the chaos. I hope you get to sew soon and that your life becomes ordered and peaceful once again. I hope your new home is wonderful and has a beautiful sewing room!!
ReplyDeleteAh, a new adventure. Hope everything goes smoothly and you can get back into the swing of things quickly.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the move and the unpacking!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the move Julie!
ReplyDeleteJulie .... fantastic job with your post ... thank you so much for hopping along with us. I am sorry your move disrupted your sewing time, but thrilled for you and your husband's new adventures. Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteWow, you're one busy gal and finding time to just post is great. Good luck on your adventure wherever that may be.
ReplyDeleteIt is no fun moving...it is my future too. I wish it was behind us...it is a big move...moving back to Canada after 12 years in Michigan. You will be sewing again real soon and what a fun project to work on. Hope your move went well and good luck with the unpacking.
