The countdown to the move has begun, and so has the packing. In years past I've been very casual about my deadlines to move and how my deadline to pack fits into that plan (i.e. I've had to make separate drives after the bulk of my stuff has been moved to pick up the rest of my stuff. This is to be avoided.) In good faith, I bought boxes last week and began the packing process on Saturday.
I'm not moving until Friday.
To my credit, I have packed about 20 boxes of "stuff." I still have more "stuff" to pack (things I'm using right now, like clothes, a toothbrush, and my cat). Somehow I've reached that panicked point of "Oh no, how will I fit the rest of my stuff into these boxes before Friday morning so I don't have to make 2 drives in traffic-ridden LA?!?"
Actually, I'm usually at that point when I'm busy. No surprise there.
I have to say though, the wall of yarn has proven most helpful in packing my kitchen. What better way to pack wine glasses than among some alpaca and wool? And how else would you keep the big boxes relatively light - put some roving and sock yarn in of course. Proof again that the stash is not only nice to look at, but functional as well.
I'd take pictures of my new WIP, Red Light Special in Rowan felted tweed, but my camera is in a box.
I think....

Boxes and creative packing

Good luck with the move, Kate. I found the packing, purging and donating phase stressful, but also liberating. We packed some stuff ourselves, but for the first time ever, we were lucky to have movers come and pack up the rest. I can't wait for it to arrive already.
Hope all goes well with your move and settling in. Thanks for your good wishes, too.
