Upheaval

Life has been pretty hectic lately. And stressful. Let’s not go there. Instead, here’s another craft project:

Folio bags. I found some duck cloth in a fabric store out in Lilydale (I think). The handles are some plasticy cloth tape I bought at Reverse Art Garbage lined with some softer cotton tape.

Of the 300 boxes we estimated we’d need for the first move, over 160-170 have been packed. Maybe more. But I reckon 300 was an overestimate, and it’ll be somewhere not far over 200. Mostly because we’re going to move kitchen and wardrobe contents as we need it. We’ll want some of each at both houses for a while, to make it look lived in, and we’re planning to work at the old place even after we start sleeping at the new place.

Once settlement happens we’ll take the stuff we don’t want to trust to anyone else. The movers are booked for the week after next.

(Is it just me, or does the term ‘removalists’ seems to imply they take stuff away, but not deliver it?)
