This is what I did tonight after dinner. This is the first block of our Farm Girl quilt. I decided to do my quilt in pinks. I wanted reds but could not find the right ones. So pink it is. I think this quilt is going to end up being my lap quilt. I'm always cold and love to wrap up when I'm watching tv.

I got really into sewing tonight and made block number 2 as well. This is a churn dash block. It was very easy to make.

I also got a phone call from a friend tonight, telling me that she had referred me for a job. Being DON of a nursing home. Making a whoooooole lot of money. It's also a whoooooole lot of responsibility, I'm not sure that I'm cut out for it. It's a great opportunity. I've just never imagined myself in a management position. We'll see what happens.

I did not post that Eric wrecked his car two weeks ago. He rear ended someone who slammed in on their brakes as they hit a deer. So we are down to one car and the little garden truck. No one can even look at the car until the first week of February.
I really don't like my job, even to the point that I considered traveling back to Fredericksburg again. But I don't want to leave my family and my home. So I have to find other ways to make money so that I can be done with the hospital. I am working on getting my Stampin'Up business going. And while I work on that I am going to be selling off alot of the clutter and things that I don't use or wear anymore, on ebay.
I know that it sounds like I'm complaining about my job alot, I'm just venting. I don't like to keep things that bother me inside. I thank God everyday for the privelage of having a job, especially when so many people have lost theres. I just want to be able to find the right one for me and my family.

So a little bit about the pictures of the cards, bags, and stars from yesterdays post. They were all created using Stampin' Up products. The bags were made from one sheet of paper that was scored and folded, no cutting. The paper was plain and hand stamped. The stars were cut out and scored on each side and then folded. They are going to be so much fun for Christmas ornaments next year. They were all so easy to make. I'm making more today. I can't wait!

Here are some pictures of the cards and gift bag that I made last Saturday at Bonnie's.

The cream bag and the stars I made at home by myself. I had so much fun making these and they are so pretty.

Tomorrow is our Farm Girl Meeting. It's going to be so much fun. I can't wait.

We got about 4-5" of snow. I don't have any pictures because I was stuck in Roanoke without my camera. I rode to work with Eric on Thursday and we ended up in the ditch on the side of a mountain for about 2 hours or longer. We were not hurt and neither was the car. We just decided that we would get a hotel and stay the night since we both had to work the next day as well. When we got off work we had dinner and went to see The Bucket List. That movie was great, it was so funny.
I am going to start work on a making a pair of jeans for myself. I hope they turn out well, I've been so excited about them. I'm also going to a stamp camp at Bonnie's house so that I can learn some new techniques to use for my own camps. I'll take pictures and post later.

Well its been a few days. I worked my first day on the unit. It was not so bad. I'm not sure if I'm going to want to stay there very long. I am still trying to find something different. I've also been sick with a stomach bug and very tired this week. I've had no energy at all.
It's supposed to snow tonight and turn into a wintry mix tomorrow. I have to work tomorrow, and I hate driving in bad weather. I was supposed to work 12 hours, but God was looking out for me and my boss called and said that I have to go to a class tomorrow. So now I can ride with my husband, since he works just a few blocks a way from the hospital I am able to ride with him when I work 8 hour days. Even though I still have to be out on the road in the bad weather at least I'm not by myself and driving. Besides it gives us a little more time together.
I found a new blog, laurasewingroom.blogspot.com, it is a sewing blog. She makes all of her clothes, even her lingerie. She even made jeans. She really makes me want to make some clothes.
I did make a wall hanging and some potholders this week. And I finished an embroidery. I'll get some pictures up later.

Today was sort of a lazy day. Did not do much at all except take Morgan for her guitar lesson and cook dinner. Morgan made me very happy, she wants to make pillows and learn to make other things to sell on Etsy. She wants to make some money. So tomorrow we are having some sewing lessons. YAY!!! When I went for my Bernina lesson on Thursday there was a girl about her age there taking a lesson on making pin cushions. She was learning to sew by hand and machine. I think that would be something that Morgan would enjoy making as well. I'm just so excited, something for us to do together.
