I am still here, just been busy. Frank is away again so even more busy because..We are MOVING!. In just a couple of weeks, we will be calling Iqaluit home. Not terribly exotic by Nunavut standard but for the sake of the kids, I think we are better off in a bigger place with lots of opportunities. My mom says I am crazy, moving further north but its really not that far off. And the best trade off, Frank dont have to travel as much anymore. Right now he is gone every 2nd week and its driving me crazy, the kids are starting to take notice.

So I am packing, I am surprisingly calm and still sewing though I have to pack on my own with 2 kids. I’ve learned to just let them help instead of fighting them and so far its working. Plus my kids are easy to please, give them a box, they will happily play house for hours as I’ve known.

Its amazing how much crap one acquires in 3 years and I’ve gotten rid of 1/4 of it, mostly kids stuff. I am debating if I should sell my sewing machine and upgrade. I would have to go at least 2.5 months without sewing and I am not sure if I can handle it though I think I will be busy with unpacking and just getting situated.

On another note, another piece of happiness came in the mail..31 yards of fabric..nice! I have packed away some of my stash and I counted, I have 175 meters (191 yards) and adding this 31 yards, it will be 222 yards and counting, I have a couple of US FRB and then I am done so I think inventory wise, I have about 250 yards..not too shabby, not too big either.

and the goods…I am in love!

Back to packing, so if I am sparse, its because I am packing!
