WIP: the great Christmas pajama race

My life’s purpose at this moment is centered around the making of Christmas pajamas for my four little ones. That’s it. Seems simple enough, right?

Well, maybe.


Today I managed to: find the fabric.

And not much else. I unpacked the box that reads, “MELODY NEED THIS NOW”. And while all that was true, there were about 20 other things that Melody needed, that weren’t in the box. After the rearranging, unpacking, repacking, stacking, and unstacking, of several dozen boxes, now Melody has everything she needs. Everything that is, except for the entire day that was lost to the search.
(and for all that sorting, I still haven’t come across the nail clippers *or* my size 4 knitting needles. I tell you, I have half a mind to chuck all of those boxes out the window right now…. but I really should find those nail clippers first…)


I don’t know how far I’ll get, but I have to at least try. I’m taking my own advice and going easy with myself, in-so-far as not holding on to keeping my work a surprise. The downside of that is that a finished product is now expected. Oh, the pressure.

Break time’s over!

Now to find a space to work…

    Oh, moving house is so hard. Any what you think you are going to need never really is what you need in the end. Here's wishing you the luck to find what you need, the time to do what you want to do, and a bit of peace and quiet for yourself as well!

    Your new home looks beautiful! Maybe you could make everyone's jammy pants first. That way, if you run out of time, they can wear their new cozy Christmas jammy pants w/ white thermal shirts or something they already have and still look cute and Christmasy!

    I had to do that last year, the girls winter dresses were not a surprise, there was no way I could only sew secretly at night. This year I am holding out though, they have not seen them, but if they are not done on the 24th I may give up and sew all day!

    I hope little Mairi is feeling better, and that you are soon able to settle into your beautiful new home and a cozy happy winter!

    Looks like you found a beautiful home to nest in! I hope your family will be well there.
    I'm scavenging around here for fabric to make 3 pairs of pajama pants for my boys – how much yardage do you use?

    The home does look beautiful and interesting. Winter seems like a good and quiet time to slip into a new home and begin to learn its personality. You'll be able to watch it awaken in spring, and all of you and it can begin to unfold anew together. You know what I mean?
    Hope the little one is better and that noone else is coming down with it. I am so thrilled that you are finally able to see the path ahead of you now; I hope that the peace given to you by no longer looking into a cloudy and uncertain future will ameliorate some of the feelings of loss by having to leave your little house. Merry Christmas to all of you.
