Between my looms and hub's astronomy, model railway and woodworking... they stay the same size. We simply dowsize the amount of 'other stuff' one accumulates... oh, and try to be closer to sevices such as groceries, Dr's and the like.<br /><br />Simply show the realtor the looms and say "they are coming with me" and they do the rest!<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving to you...<br /><br />SusanSusan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09707139508896058818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130376286685847177.post-9491792829852411652009-11-11T10:44:36.891-06:002009-11-11T10:44:36.891-06:00I'm looking forward to meeting you, too, Mike,...I'm looking forward to meeting you, too, Mike, someday!Janice Zindelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16564376726709127028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130376286685847177.post-64058188024513002692009-11-11T10:43:54.528-06:002009-11-11T10:43:54.528-06:00What I need for my next space is a large studio wi...What I need for my next space is a large studio with a small kitchen, bath, place to sleep, and a comfy chair. I don't ask for much!<br /><br />I will miss it up here, and writing about the area, as well as being a wildlife rescue driver, but also know there will be a place new to me, or changed a lot if I go back "home," but plenty to explore and appreciate.<br /><br />It will feel very odd going back to "city life" after being in the woods for 17+ years, but really feel I am now ready for this change. A lot to get done over the next few months, just hope I can keep myself on track. <br /><br />My folks are in their early 80's and having health issues, so it will be much easier to help out after moving back down to southern WI. <br /><br />I've been looking into weaving guilds, etc., too, giving myself activities to look forward to. All will be well.Janice Zindelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16564376726709127028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130376286685847177.post-36821802312097990002009-11-11T09:40:18.916-06:002009-11-11T09:40:18.916-06:00OH!

I moved to Madison from SW Michigan, out of a log cabin, which was on a small lake, and do miss it at times, but I have many things, too, that I am grateful for resulting from my move. <br />And besides, hopefully I will get to meet you in person! :)MadCityMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14694682551650633240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130376286685847177.post-1642437214887080722009-11-11T09:36:38.882-06:002009-11-11T09:36:38.882-06:00Well, winter is a good time to reflect and plan ch...Well, winter is a good time to reflect and plan changes<br />and ease yourself into letting go. By spring I bet you'll be chomping at the bit to get moving. I'm sure you'll find somewhere as beautiful and productive while not having all the work and space that is unnecessary as you begin a new chapter.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574936988046982209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130376286685847177.post-2544166461691035922009-11-10T21:02:11.541-06:002009-11-10T21:02:11.541-06:00I've had several intrests over the last 40 yea...I've had several intrests over the last 40 years, some stashes are completely gone, a couple have small stashes, and by far, weaving/spinning/sock-cranking is the biggest, but I am USING the materials so don't have a problem with that. <br /><br />I'll really be leaving here without living room furniture, no bed etc. for myself (it's built-in), no appliances. So weight-wise on a moving truck, it balances out the looms, equipment, and books/publications I have collected over the years that I will be taking with me. I have my priorities straight! <br /><br />I am going to be whittling things down, though, over the next few months, at least somewhat. And continuing to weave and make socks will take care of some of the stash.Janice Zindelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16564376726709127028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130376286685847177.post-47010914493736594352009-11-10T18:18:20.935-06:002009-11-10T18:18:20.935-06:00I can understand your decision to move.

It's partially the thought of moving all this STUFF that prevents me.

I've always been on the giving end and will definitely be passing this forward!<br /><br />As to moving, I'm finally ready to leave the life we made here and move on. Hopefully a buyer will come along next summer. Now, I'm looking at what my needs will be for my next home. Have you ever tried to get a realtor to understand the need for space for BIG LOOMS and all that goes with it? I tried a couple years ago, without success. This time I'll have a photo album with me so he/she can see what I have and try to understand the need for space.Janice Zindelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16564376726709127028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130376286685847177.post-15431682447111127982009-11-10T16:35:50.944-06:002009-11-10T16:35:50.944-06:00That's so nice that they came to help you with...That's so nice that they came to help you with all of that wood!! (And that is a frightening amount of wood really!!)<br /><br />Glad to hear your thoughts on moving. You alluded to it a while ago, but weren't as specific. A house really does require a lot of maintenance - sometimes it can even seem like a lot for 2 people. So your move will allow you to have more time with your looms - once you get through the move.<br /><br />Good luck with it all!<br /><br />SueLife Looms Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522897791564181980noreply@blogger.com
