Great News!!

I went to the mall today; we are getting a JoAnne Fabrics in July; well they were doing a job fair; I filled out an application and talked to the store manager; and we hit it off great, she hired me on the spot!! I start June 21, the store opens July 16. I told her I really wanted to work in the cross stitch area and she put it on the top of my application and said it wouldn't be a problem... I don't know if this will be a good thing or not!! LOL Things at work have been so slow; and with Kenny prob going to move out soon; I need extra income and this was a blessing. It really made my day....

Just another day in paradise!!! NOT!! LOL

Not too much going on. My DD Ashely; had her Dr. appt and Scarlett is doing great; she has to go to the Dr's every two weeks now. Scarlett is due Aug 14. Me and Kenny aren't doing well at all. I think it's over this time. But I'm ok with it; were just two totally different people; who want different things in life. I'm a big girl; I'll be just fine. :) I haven't been stitching in a few days; to much stress around here to relax and stitch. I was accepted to join the Lizzie Kate Exchange blog; that made my day yesterday; I think that will be a lot of fun. I've also been in touch with a few on line shops about doing some model stitching for them in exchange for "stash" LOL, and one says she even has a designer who wants to talk to me; they would pay me. But I'm not too sure about stitching for money? I don't want it to seem like I "have" to stitch you know? But on the other hand; being paid to do what I love would be great. What do you all think?

Movie Night

Ashley & Torry came over and we watched "Daybreakers"; it was dumb; way too violent for me; but the guys seemed to like it. I worked and then went and got my nails done; came home and stitched on my bluebird for a few minutes; just not in the mood to stitch tonight. Not much to say; gonna go take a shower and go to bed; I have to work tomorrow; and Sundays are awlful; it's like people go to church and make their piece w/god and then they are rude. LOL At least some of the customers that come into the restaurant where I work are like that.

Stupid car!!!

Last night Kenny & I were going to go for a drive and the car wouldn't start, he tried everything; then this AM he played around with it (like men do LOL) and now it will start. I guess "someone" wanted us to stay home last night. LOL. I stitched A LOT yesterday; I finished my magnet for an exchange; I'll post a picture once she gets it, and my halloween RR (posted picture) and started my Blackbird Design "Bluebird", it's such a fun and quick stitch; I'm really enjoying it; I am using Gentle Arts thread in Blue Jay, I'm stitching it for my mom; I asked her to send me a couple of buttons from my grandma & dad's clothing she still has; and I'll stitch those buttons on it. I have to work soon; so I guess I better get in the shower.

I stitched a little this morning before I went to work; I just have a little more on the boarder to do and I'll be done w/my Halloween RR. YEA!! Then I can start on the Blackbird Design, "Bluebird". I've been wanting to do this picture for a while now; and bought the pattern Monday on my stash run. I think I'll use Gentle Arts thread, I'm going to make it into a pillow for my mom I think. I'll prob end up doing one for myself as well. I need to get a breadcloth done also by the end of the month for an exchange. I was going to join another RR; but I think I'll just do one at a time; I want to get my Christmas Orns. started early this year. I'm off work tomorrow; I don't think were going to do anything; just get some R&R. Kenny's off work also.

UGH!! I think I have a UTI. I'm going to call my Dr. when the office opens to see if he'll call me in some antibotics without me going in and paying $45 to pee in a cup. LOL I didn't stitch last night; I just have to finish backstitching my Halloween RR and I think I'll stitch a boarder around him also. Then I'm going to stitch something from my stash run Monday; I had such fun; I wish I was rich and could afford to do that every week; but that's prob it for a while. LOL I lost a LOT of my stash 4 years ago in a move. Of course the only boxes missing was my stash; lots of books, material and tons of floss (WDW & Gentle Arts also) I was so sick; I cried. But I'm slowly building it back up again. I lost probley 500 patterns. I played on my blog last night putting all the little blinkies on and found one that said " I love Hayden" that's my grandsons name. LOL I know he'll like that when I show him this summer when he comes to visit us.

STASH!! STASH!! STASH!!

I just got home from my LNS and I was a "Bad Girl" !! LOL I had to get home and "stash it" before Kenny gets home...LOL I had a GREAT time; I went a little over board but heck; I'm worth it.. LOL I work hard and I don't do this much stash shopping but once or twice a year; I usually get one or two books and one or two things of WDW or Gentle Arts; I couldn't pass up the material, it's so expensive thou; I saw this 32 Count Linen and fell in love I don't know what I'll make w/it yet; it's 22x12 and cost me $10.56, I thought it'd be around 5 or 6 dollars. oh well, I love it; and I couldn't resist the Joyous Hearts flob; and I don't know about the "Tis Halloween" I've been looking at it on line at different shops and when I saw it in person; and it was the only copy; I think I "blacked out". LOL I had to buy it. I'll post pictures for you all to see.
