Join the crowd

The crowd of unemployed that is.  Yup, I lost my job about a month ago and I had really thought I would find one soon but it is not looking that way.  After 14 yeas in the legal profession, I am old and character typed.  The computer age has changed so much for me and it will take alot to get back into it.  Not that I wouldn't do what needs to be done, but it isn't like I have no talents at all.
Some things have to be sacrificed, like my health insurance which is too high of a premium to pay on unemployment.
Also my children are insisting I leave my rental home and move in with them to conserve money.
I am giving it another month before I make that deceision.
In the meantime, not much going on in the sewing dept.  Too bussy with resumes and job applications.  Also taking some computer classes at the unemployment office.
I will keep you informed, but if you don't hear from me it is not a good sign.

Sister's Weekend

Got a weekend with my sis!  She came down for a visit this weekend from MI.  We had a blast!  And she taught me a few things.  Here are pictures of our bags we made out of plastic novalty bags such as the potato chip bag and the herseys chocolates.  Are they adorable?  So cute.



And then she went thru my stash and showed me how to make a quilt using the x-block templete. 
All this weekend!  I would say we got alot accomplish besides running to the farmer's market for some fresh produce.
She has left this morning, and now I am alone in this quiet house trying to finish dishes, laundry and other stouff that brings me back to reality.
