HHG arrived

Our House Hold goods were delivered yesterday.  The delivery crew were professional and knowledgeable.  They worked quickly in order to get the furniture inside before the rain.  We got everything inside before the rain hit. 
Now all I have to do is empty a "zillion" boxes.

One more shipment

I received our storage shipment from Texas.  Not impressed with the company that handled the transportation from Texas. We requested shipment back in April and it was received in August.  Three months to move it just 1200 miles.

I got notification that my shipment from Germany will be delivered on Tuesday. 

Funny it only took about 6 weeks to get the large shipment from Germany to Florida.   So this shipment made it over 5,000 miles in 6 weeks. 

Does this seem strange to anyone else?

Crochet fan chains

They finely notified us that the storage shipment from Texas was scheduled to be in JAX yesterday.  We  still don't know when they will deliver it.  It's already a week late, so why would they worry.  I can't wait until I'm asked to write comments on delivery company.  
But on the other hand, my youngest granddaughter (A) asked me to teach her to crochet.  While I prefer to knit, I can crochet faster.  I have some crochet hooks and bought some books for A.  She's a quick study. 
As most of you know I just moved into a new home.  I was lucky the previous owners put ceiling fans in all the rooms.  Not so lucky for me, is the fan chains are way too short for me to change the fan speed or turn on/off the lights.  I got tired of getting the step ladder and I didn't feel like going out to get extension chains from the hardware store.  So I crocheted them.

NOT HAPPY

Just found out that my storage shipment won't be delivered this week.  This is the stuff we stored in San Antonio.  The company had over 3 months notice. We had requested the deliver date as 17 July, the company changed the date to 30 July. This was the REQUIRED delivery date.  Seems that the company doesn't need the government business.  My stuff hasn't even arrived in JAX.  What's worse, is I had Tommy take out the washer and dryer out of this house so there was room for my front loaders that were in storage.  I'm now going to have to ask Tommy to put them back in the house. 

Thanks a bunch Coleman American Moving.

Clean knitting room?

We are still in the process of moving from Germany to Florida.  Most of my knitting stuff is in transit so I only have a few knitting needles (my favorites) with me.

So here's my future craft room and some of the "stuff" I am knitting with.
