Snuggling in with my crossy and a good cup of tea!

4:28 am Oct 05, 2006

Well, my conscience is cleared up for the time being- I went for a job interview at the UN yesterday and I think it went pretty well, so today I'm rewarding myself with a WHOLE day of stitching absolutely guilt free!
Cool

Bliss! It can't last long though...

Thanks for you good luck wish BarBaraPrz! It must have worked because I got the job!!!!!! I'm so happy! It's a translator/editor position with the United Nations Institute of Training and Research. I'm just thrilled- I've been wanting to get into IOs and NGOs for ages!

So, it's ANOTHER whole day of stitching for me today (sorry Fabala!), and I start on Monday. Something tells me that I won't be doing any stitching for a while once I start work!

Seriously, congrats! I am just so jealous... I work full time and my husband and I just bought a house... so I have been WAY too busy to do any stitching. Sad

Wow, where did you buy your house Fabala? I'd love to own my own place some day. Dream dream...

Norcross, Georgia... just northeast of Atlanta. It has a big fenced in yard for my dogs, and lots of rooms with good natural light for stitching... I even claimed one of the bedrooms for my own personal Craft Room.

Now, if I only had time to enjoy that room... <sigh>

Well, you're closer to my work - I'm in Duluth, but live up in Flowery Branch. And I work full time, have two boys on travel soccer teams, plus do beaded jewelry and have a serious reading habit. There are some weeks when I don't get to touch a needle at all (SQ designs aren't very travel-friendly Sad

).

Fabala, do you ever frequent the Needlework House on Satellite? I stop in when I'm looking to see non-DMC floss in person, and am trying to get Mary to expand her lines.

I thought you were local, Rife...

No, I havent ever been there - will have to check it out. I have been to a couple of places around here but they've not impressed me. Mostly I stick to SQ for patterns, JoAnn and Michael's for DMC and some fabric/notions... and I've ordered Charles Craft fabric online direct from them.

I'll have to check the place out, I prefer to give a local small buisness my money, but have trouble finding places that carry what I am looking for. Sad
