Our POD is finally unpacked,  ladies and gentlemen!  That means that Eric and Polly are vagabonds no more!  After 3+ years of moving from place to place, storing our precious things here and there, we finally have a whole house to ourselves, including all of our STUFF!  It’s been so much fun to open boxes and find nostalgic things that I haven’t looked at in ages.  And it feels really good that our scattered belongings are at last all within our reach whenever we want them.

So far we’ve only had 1.5 tragedies.  1. We couldn’t get the boxspring mattress up the stairs.  It seemed illogical that it wasn’t fitting and we wondered what we were doing wrong, until we remembered that the previous owners slept downstairs so there were no beds upstairs since probably 1945 when beds were smaller or something.  The regular mattress fit just fine and now our bed is just a touch lower than before, no biggie.  And  tragedy no. 1.5 is that two of the screws to the bed disappeared sometime during the move. We put it together anyway and hopefully the bed won’t collapse while we sleep!

Now we get to begin the overwhelming task of making our living room into a living room and not a labyrinth of boxes and assorted furniture.  It’s going surprisingly fast and soon I’ll be back to posting about actual craftiness!  I miss my sewing machine so much!!

I promise that next time I write I’ll  a.) have something crafty to say and b.) I’ll have pictures!

P.S. The pups are LOVING the new house!  They get a really big kick out of running up and down the stairs over and over again- crazy mutts!
