I haven't blogged for a long long time.  We are in the process of purchasing a house in the Palm Springs area.  We have built up 25 years of cr*p in this house and I've spent the last mumble mumble months sorting, tossing, boxing up and donating stuff.  Needless to say the sewing room is packed up and clean.  The fabric is in boxes.  I can't believe I have as many boxes of magazines and books as I do.
