She&#8217;s given me lots of cool tips about how to make the move go more smoothly.  One is to do color coding.  Put a colored piece of paper on each box, and key it to a piece of colored paper on the door of the room it goes in.  That way movers don&#8217;t have to stop &#038; read a handwritten label, nor do I need to be in 1,000 places at once giving detailed directions for every single box.<\/p>\n<p>I think it&#8217;s brilliant.  Although I don&#8217;t know if she did this, for my brain I needed to also write the room name on each piece of paper.  That way I didn&#8217;t need to keep the color code in my head as I packed.  This is, of course, in addition to writing the contents on the outside of the box.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/room-labels.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/room-labels.jpg\" alt=\"color coded labels\" width=\"450\" height=\"348\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/room-labels.jpg 450w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/room-labels-300x232.jpg 300w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/room-labels-150x116.jpg 150w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/room-labels-400x309.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve color coded each box as I packed it, plus the many boxes of my yarn stash and finished products that were already in clear plastic bins.<\/p>\n<p>I think there&#8217;s some kind of formula that I haven&#8217;t exactly worked out yet, but it goes something like this: for every box packed there will be at least 1 small bag of garbage and 1 small bag of items to be donated.  I just keep making trip after trip with these things.  I&#8217;m so glad I&#8217;m doing this work now&#8230;it should save me lots of time at the unpacking end.  Although I&#8217;m certain I will open more than one box in my new house and say, &#8220;Why the heck did I save <em>this<\/em>?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Even with all the packing, I&#8217;m still making good progress on weaving those baby wraps.  Here&#8217;s what the warp looks like in my favorite position as I&#8217;m beaming it.  These colors are pretty accurate.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/RD-on-back-beam.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/RD-on-back-beam.jpg\" alt=\"RD&#039;s warp on the back beam\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/RD-on-back-beam.jpg 450w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/RD-on-back-beam-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/RD-on-back-beam-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/RD-on-back-beam-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Starting Monday I got the warp measured, beamed, and threaded through heddles and reed.  I&#8217;ve already got more than half of RD&#8217;s wrap woven.  She requested a handpainted weft of a cotton-hemp blend, and Susan over at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/iowaweaver?ref=em\" target=\"_blank\">Iowaweaver<\/a> did a terrific job.  I couldn&#8217;t capture the feel of the wrap in one shot, so you get one from each edge.  The colors are more realistic near the edges; as it approaches the center, the colors appear much more yellowed than in real life.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/RD-left-end.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/RD-left-end.jpg\" alt=\"RD&#039;s wrap, left selvedge\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6469\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/RD-left-end.jpg 450w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/RD-left-end-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/RD-left-end-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/RD-left-end-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/RD-right-end.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/RD-right-end.jpg\" alt=\"RD&#039;s wrap, right end\" width=\"450\" height=\"248\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/RD-right-end.jpg 450w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/RD-right-end-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/RD-right-end-150x83.jpg 150w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/RD-right-end-400x220.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I find it interesting that the heart pattern shows up well in the ivory, brown, and olive, but disappears almost completely in the pale lime.
