...no work for you!

Wow!

What a week that has gone by.

The spring dresses for my 5 grand-daughters are all finished and gifted.

(3 grand-sons received store bought shirts and shorts.)

I added yellow flower buttons to make it easier for them to know what was the front when dressing themselves.

 

 

My daughter, Courtnie, is home from South Korea.

We spent Sunday morning with coffee on the beach watching the sunrise.

We hosted family dinner Sunday afternoon.

We've shopped.

We've ate.

We've talked quilts and fabric.

She has filled out many job applications and has an interview today at 11:00.

and...

I start my new job Monday morning!

 

Piece out...

Don't forget to check out "Bloglovin", as Blogger is going away....

There is a link at the bottom left of my blog.

No word yet...on job apps.

But I continue to fill them out.

I do get excited knowing that I am getting more emails asking me to apply than emails rejecting my apps!.

It is difficult to not get too excited sometimes... B-)

I am working on five little spring dresses for g-daughters.

That keeps me busy and focused.

And my daughter arrives home from South Korea this week.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sooo excited! (and relieved)

It has been one amazing week!

 

I have been informed my position at work is going away...so I have been filling out job apps like crazy.

My scrap busting efforts have not depleted the scraps much, however I do have something to show for it!

72 "12-Patch Blocks"! Whew!

 

I have been really busy with stitching up spring dresses for the five grand-daughters. I broke a needle with a piece of it flying at my left eye, forgetting to switch back to straight stitch after changing back to the 1/4" foot. Then I somehow flipped my snips up in the air with my right hand, trying to catch them with my left hand, the very sharp point of one blade coming straight down on my left index finger... The luck of the Irish just wasn't with me Sunday!
 

It's been "off and on" spring weather, teasing us with wonderfully warm breezy days so I have been down to the beach with the grandkids, for a couple of hours of much needed down time!

 

 

...and then I received an offer on a position that I have been trying to get for over a year now!
 

...and then I won a "Get A Clue With Nancy Drew Bloghop" prize from RosePrairieQuilts' blog!

...AND I sent off my final car payment!!

Woot Woot!

 

It has been one amazing week!

 

Piece out....

Rain.

 

I actually love the rain.

 

I find it more than just refreshing, washing the dust off of everything, and more of a calming thing...restful, peaceful....and PIECEful!

 

Growing up in the great NW I can relate to rainy weather and love a good down pour. "Back home" you often get drizzles, which my father always says is just enough to keep you from having a picnic but not enough to keep you from going to work. Yup Yup Gus Gus!

 

A good day for brainless squaring up of HSTs and listening to the rain.

 

 

Nothing like a nice little pile of HST "droppings", right?!?

 

Piece out...

 

ps...I am loving the Nancy Drew Is  A Clue BlogHop!

Mdm Samm comes up with such fun!
