I have this great desire to run away today &#8211; to a new adventure.  <\/p>\n<p>The house we were anxiously awaiting to move into was somehow built over utility easements &#8211; just one corner of it.  I have no idea how in 20 years since it was constructed no one noticed; it has stumped everyone in the process.  But until the easement is vacated by all 3 utility companies, no house for us &#8211; yet.  We are going to take a break for a week or two and then look for another house.  In the meantime, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be unpacking my studio and settling back in.  This last month where half of our home is packed (we were originally to move May 1), I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been slowly stitching on larger quilts for warmth and not making art quilts as much leaving me feeling a bit disconnected from myself. I miss the spontaneity of seeing a fabric on my shelf and knowing just what art quilt I want to make next.  <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.believemagic.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/wpid-IMG_0037-2015-05-21-05-33.jpg\" alt=\"wpid-IMG_0037-2015-05-21-05-33.jpg\"\/><br \/>\nShe makes time for fun every day (8\u00e2\u20ac\u009d x 10\u00e2\u20ac\u009d)  <\/p>\n<p>Back to the topic of fun, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d love to expand my fun list.
