Sweet Nothings #3

Just listed another Sweet Nothings in the Etsy Shop. I have another busy weekend coming up and will be away from home for 2 days so I wanted to get something listed. Next week I can devote attention to a more substantial listing.
We will be at our nephew's confirmation tomorrow in NY, and in NJ all day Saturday watching our daughter row for UMass - go UMass!

Thanks to everyone who shared my good day with me yesterday. I'll keep you all posted as the process progresses. In the meantime, any finger crossing, psyching, praying or whatever would be appreciated.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Way To Go Day!

We all need a little pick-me-up every once and a while and today I sure got mine!

I have been out of work since February and finally had a interview today with a company I'd really like to work for. I walked away feeling confident, and I received a call back from my recruiter that the company was very impressed with me and would like me back for a second round of interviews! How incredible is that?!

In addition to that, I received phone calls today from 2 other companies I applied to wanting to interview me as well!!! The other 2 companies don't impress me nearly as much "on paper" however I will follow through with the interviews anyway, but I'm just feeling so freaking awesome at the moment!

Sweet Nothings

It's still in the 90's here and I'm still melting!
I did take advantage of the cooler morning to get my latest creations ready for the Etsy shop.
Presenting my Sweet Nothings!
I hope they are well received. They are fun to make and a good way to put to good use scraps of linen from larger projects. I hate to waste, and as I was cutting off pieces of linen last week I thought I could probably work up some little something - end result - Sweet Nothings!
Sweet little miniature pillows for ornaments to hang where ever it strikes your fancy.

HOT!

Why is it so stinking hot?
93 degrees in Philadelphia in April!

Stitch-free Weekend

I hope I don't go through withdrawal - I'm going away and am NOT taking my cross stitch with me. I find time everyday to stitch so it will be hard not to have it with me to pick up at whim. I'm leaving behind my newest project that I started this morning. Hopefully it will be finished and in the Etsy shop sometime next week.

I plan to go to my home town for the weekend and get together with 2 friends from high school. I met up with one of them recently through Facebook after 35 years!!! When we met it was like we never left off from our high school days. We tracked down another friend and the 3 of us are leaving our homes in PA, NJ and MA to meet in our home town in NY. I know it will be an amazing time, with no time for stitching!

Hope you all have a great weekend too.

Remember Me Pillow

Since I've gotten back in to cross stitching and have created a bunch of new pieces recently I decided to mix it up a little and do a cross stitch pillow for the first time. It was well received and suggested I do more pillows. I just completed another pillow and added it to my shop. I'm really happy with the end result.
I'm currently working on another one too - a little change-up from the usual framed pieces. What do you think?

Generous Spirit

Wow - I'm so touched by one of the awesome individuals who is participating in the challenge - Get Excited and Make Things.
Tommye, of TJBDesigns on Etsy has insisted I donate whatever I was going to send her to a charitable or needy cause. Very generous Tommye and I'm honored to be connected with you. Thank you for humbling me!
Check out Tommye's shop - she has some great scissor fobs, and her blog, I'd rather by stitching is very inspiring to anyone interested in stitching.
