They said they would pack it themselves because it was a fragile item. Well, where in this box does it say that there's a fragile spinning wheel inside? The box is too big and my baby was allowed to wobble inside with nothing to secure it in place but packing peanuts. I found a small crack on the mother-of-all. I have to test and see if the tension opens it up and if it's still functional, but I haven't had the time to put it together, because I was rescuing my other babies:
The violet lost all its flowers, or course. The begonya looks really bad, I'm not sure it's going to make it. I hope she does, she's been with me since 1998. Whatever happens I will be the only one to blame, since I packed them myself and was too cheap to pay for overnight delivery, so they spent a whole week without sunshine nor water.
I'm very grateful for all the nice wishes. I'll get back to reading other knitting blogs now that I have internet at home (although a chair and a desk would be nice, too). I do intend to keep working on my raglan, but instead of buying yarn, I'll make a donation to the Red Cross. It's not the right time to be selfish.

You have a knack with violets, so I feel confident that it will bounce back nicely. Hope you see some blooms soon. The packing situation with your spinning wheel sounds very disappointing - I hope it isn't broken. Can't wait to hear more stories of your settling in!
I hope your plants survive the move. Glad you are getting all settled in :)
I'm sure you'll be able to save most if not all of your plants. They just need some rest and TLC. As far as your wheel, that is upsetting. I hope she's not broken.
I'm sorry about your wheel. :( Hopefully it's nothing serious.
Glad you're getting settled. Moving is never fun.
If your wheel is broken, I hope your movng insurance covers it.
