Let me tell you what MY house looks like!!
OK... first a little background... you know (if you've been reading) that we had been staying with my Mom since we arrived in Bloomington... but on 1 November we moved into our condo!! YAY!! Now... somehow I had forgotten that the stuff I bought for the shop was going to take up space in said condo.... hmmm... so... I have all the stuff that actually belongs in my house... plus quite a bit of Chinese antiques that belong at the shop... plus all of Rebecca's stuff (she'll be moving to her new apartment in early December -- at which time her room becomes my office/sewing room).... plus all of David's stuff (he'll be moving to his new apartment in early January at which time his room becomes the guest room).... So... it's a little hard to move in here... and a little hard to put stuff away -- which is really NOT by best attribute anyways!
My little bro has graciously allowed me to have fabric delivered to the One World Commissary for the past few months... and Tommy brought that to my garage today... about a pallet of fabric... so I quickly had to look -- and feel, of course!! -- and much of it is now in my dining room and has been input onto the inventory spreadsheet....
I have the dining room set up as a temporary office....
Rebecca has been working -- putting together Bernina mastery books for the shop.... David has been working -- keeping the trash going to the dumpster and helping me get stuff together for the shop...
So things are moving right along!!
I've hired two staff members and have talked to others, so that's been very cool!! Chris and I will go to Madison, WI, on Tuesday for a Bernina sales training. Can't WAIT!!
I met with one of my fabric reps yesterday to order some Marcus Textiles, some Langa Lapu, M&S Textiles, and ClothWorks.... NICE STUFF!!
So... I know you're dying to know what's in my dining room....
Well let's see...
Blank Textiles: Amazon; Happy Days; Out of Africa: Wonderland
Westminster Fibers: Utopia; Dogwood Festival; Mendhi; Fundamentals
Quilting Treasures: Living Color
Martha Negly Collection
Kaffe Fassett Collection
Marie Kelzer Collection
Does that give you a clue??

Janet, are you going "nuts" yet? Wow, in your dining room? How would it be? All that fabric, and all you can do is stack it even higher in the room! Good for you! So, when is the date of the "Grand Opening? And how is the shop going? Any pic's of the set up yet? Looking forward to the pic's.
Jean
Well.... yes... it's kind of high! LOL
The shop is coming along... the walls are in... and mostly painted... I chose the flooring today but that will go in last... they should be ready to put up slatwall by mid-week....
I kept forgetting to take the camera when I was going to meet with the workers -- and then this week every time I've stopped by WITH the camera, they weren't there and I couldn't get in... so... no pics!!
We're planning to "soft open" in mid January -- as soon as things look good enough to open... Grand Opening will be the weekend after the Indiana Heritage Quilt Show...
So, basically that means that you will have all that fabric in your place until they get to a point where it's habitable? Hopefully b/4 Christmas hmmmm? Good for you.
Have you gotten to do any quilting lately?
