Greetings From California!
April 21, 2009
Well, it’s finally happened. I live in California now. The last 6 weeks have been a bit of a whirlwind. We got on an offer on the house, prayed it would go to closing, took care of all the stuff that selling a house entails, gave notice at work, had Mom help with the packers and movers, and moved in with a friend for two weeks until I flew out here. Crazy!
I’ve been out here for two and a half weeks already, but it has gone by very quickly. I’m still getting through boxes, we have about 20 left, but have already gone through about 100-110. Our house in California is smaller than our house in Maryland so we are finding lots of things to sell at a garage sale. We’re slowly settling in, but I’m hoping that 95% of the work will be done by May 1.
I haven’t had any time for crafting, though I’m hoping that will change soon. My craft studio is almost done and I’ve got lots of projects to work on. I want to find a knitting group and it looks like there are quite a few in the area. And I’m having a grand re-opening sale at my Etsy store in May so I need to get some things done for that.
I also have to find a job, which I will start doing very soon, but in the meantime, I’m keeping out of trouble.

About Me
Welcome to my spot on the web where I talk about needlework, crafts, and [many] other random things.
A few tidbits about me: I met my husband in college, flirting over tuba letters in the Penn Band. Our dog, CJ, and our cat, Sabrina, round out our family. I'm a sewist, knitter and needlepointer, and an occasional scrapbooker. I love organizing, reading, making jewelry, and hiking. A Chicago girl at heart, I am an avid follower the Cubs, Bears, and Blackhawks.
You can email me at mlynapier [at] pobox [dot] com. Thank you for stopping by!
My Etsy Shop
A place for me to sell my handmade goods. My style? It's fun and funky with a hint of romance.

So glad to see you back online. I’ve missed your wonderful updates. Good luck with the job hunting!
