Hats, Hats, Hats!

  Bill's door was supposed to arrive back on the seventh, but we haven't heard when they will install it and they haven't come by yet.  Here is the picture I promised with all three crown styles.  I didn't group them by style or anything, I just laid them out so they would fit into the picture.
  It's been so strange to me to return to going into work after working from home for the past few months.  I still need to find a face mask design that I can easily wear for a few hours without the elastic giving me a headache or sliding down my head.  I would rather be able to stay home more and then be able to move more things into my craft room, but not much I can do about that.  I also have a mask or two I need to try out that my friends have made for me.  I would like to start making some of my own to donate, but I need to get to my sewing machines and oil at least one of them.
  I'm looking forward to the day when the K&CC can meet again and I can pass on the many bags of yarn I have been putting aside for them.  I've already made one drop off, but the storage until they have is pretty full.
  Don't worry, I'm not getting rid of all of it.  I want to down size so when I see other people knitting with new yarn, I might be able to get some and not feel bad.  Bill has also said that I have been cleared to keep some yarn in the attic, so I don't need to make it all fit, but I would like to be able to get as much as I can within easy reach.

  Bill has his work benches in and some of the metal peg board up.  He needs to order more or they would be up already.  We also got one of the silver shelving units in that we had been using down there before we started the remodel.
  We had some movers help with the last big thing we need to move down there.  They made it look so easy but disagreed on how to proceed when they reached the base of the stairs.  The one wanted to rotate it and keep the dolly on the side they used to go downstairs, but the more experienced guy kept trying to tell him that it wouldn't work and that they were hitting the banister.  When the lead guy went to get a moving blanket the second guy kept trying his idea and ended up scuffing the wall a bit.  When the lead guy saw that he asked for something to wipe the wall down with and it came off well enough.

  I think I'm going at a pretty good pace to have the craft bins out of the storage unit by the end of the month.  It was requested that I post a picture of my craft room mid-organizing.  I have many projects that will have to happen once I get most of the rest of the house and storage unit cleared out.  One of with is the many sewing patterns that I will never use that I need to list online.  Part of my brain is worried that I have already put too much into the room, but then I remember that once I sell an extra pattern, it will be gone and won't be returning.  I don't know if they will sell well or not, but I can try.  I still have quite a way to go before I can do that, but I will let everyone here know when I do.
