I didn't get to sew this week but fabric went out. Woo hoo! It's a long story.

Grown Up R has not been able to find a job despite submitting over 100 applications since January.  She had 2 summer internships after graduation, a part time job, and shared housing near the college (which is 8 hours away.) But all that is coming to an end in less than 2 weeks.   Note  - She's a super talented bilingual Graphic Designer with 3 years of experience outside the classroom if you know of any openings.

Plan Z is to come back home.  Not a bad option, but certainly not what she had hoped for.  Since she worked on campus through all the college summers we rarely saw her so really we are happy to have her back again.  But her room has long since been taken over by Little S.  

So this week is the Grand Reconfiguring of the upstairs.  The goal is for R to take her old room, so Little S's stuff has been sorted and compacted into the smallest amount of space possible. Middle E will give up the room she desperately wanted for so long and we'll switch her with sewing room - again!  She says the morning light comes in too brightly on that side and she is happy to move.  She changes things up about every 6 months, so she is actually overdue for a change.  Then the sewing room will again be in the room that is slightly larger and Little S will function out of there and hopefully I'll still be able to sew and R will find an amazing job and move out again. 

In anticipation of this Grand Reconfiguring I am cleaning and sorting the sewing room.  It was easy to give away the stack of odd fleece that I thought I couldn't live without.  I have someone who will take nearly any crafty stuff and either use it or pass it on so that makes it much easier to give stuff up.  I also gave her some yarns and crochet thread so that bin is not overflowing. 

So it was a good week for numbers despite the lack of sewing.
