We got to Chicago on April 3 with the kitties. We spent 2 months in Airbnbs- one month each so it wasn&#8217;t too terrible but really, it was enough. So, we have found an apartment and we will stay here until we find our next home. We moved in on June 1 and all our stuff arrived on June 7. We have spent the time since, setting up, sorting boxes, and all the rest of what you do after a move. I am working on getting my studio set up again. Also, acquiring all the necessities for shipping since I left that all behind. Baby steps to getting back to work. Once I have my new shipping label printer figured out, I will be able to re-open my etsy shop. I do know where the post office is so that&#8217;s a step in the right direction!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">While I was in studio limbo, I had a few projects to work on. I worked on some summer clothes and some quilts. I had 2 quilt tops done but not backed or quilted. Here is the big quilt, laid out on the floor of an airbnb, getting basted together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"844\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-23-quilt-2-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17077\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-23-quilt-2-1.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-23-quilt-2-1-300x253.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-23-quilt-2-1-768x648.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-23-quilt-2-1-355x300.jpeg 355w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The apartment for the first week-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-23-apartment-1-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17078\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-23-apartment-1-768x1025.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-23-apartment-1-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-23-apartment-1.jpeg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">And then our stuff arrived- and that is just the beginning of the moving-in day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-23-apartment-1-1-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17079\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-23-apartment-1-1-768x1025.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-23-apartment-1-1-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-23-apartment-1-1.jpeg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This is going to be my workspace- I just have to figure out how to make the space useable-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-23-apartment-studio-1-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-23-apartment-studio-1-768x1025.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-23-apartment-studio-1-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-23-apartment-studio-1.jpeg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">It is all coming along.
