What have I been up to? Well, I've been slowly working on my newest rug. I started the leaves first. I'm not sure that I like them, especially the bottom ones. A little too zig zaggy for me. I might try to round them more like the upper left one. Of course, the flash seems to really hi-light the colors, as they aren't this bright. I'll keep working on it, get to a few more sections, as see how I like it. At least it's easy to re-hook.
My life will be taking a different direction this week. Two weeks ago I received a job offer. I'll be working full time, as in 40 hours a week. (something I haven't done in 18 years) I, sadly, had to put my notice in at school. Friday was my last day. I start my new job as a customer service representative on Monday. I hope I like it and can quickly learn a new business. I'm also happy that I get to leave the kids at school with a new aide that I recommended, and was just hired.
I'm wondering if I'll be able to do any crafting during lunch time. I'll get an hour for lunch at the new job. It's right by the mall, which can be dangerous. But, I might be able to relax and stitch something. I'll have to look for a small, quiet project to put in my purse this week. I know punch needle could drive others crazy with the sound, and rug hooking is too big to bring along. Maybe some cross stitch or a penny rug? Hmmmm... I'll have to search through my piles of supplies to see what I have!

Congratulations to you!!!!!!! You've been quiet lately and I was hoping that something was up. You must be very pleased. I like the two bottom curly leaves a lot. But maybe that top left one is a bit too ziggy..... Perhaps it would look nice to have a variety of leaves, just like in nature.
Congrats on the new job. I am sure you will be able to sneak in a little crafting...It will be a big change but I know you wlll do fine. Since I cannot do any type of hole punch or tapestry...I think all your work is just gorgeous! Blessings!
Good luck with the new job and hope you find it rewarding as well as exciting!
Hope the new job is working out for you! Miss your posts though!
