Well the new job is goin good. I enjoy working there, but out of the blue I got a phone call the other day. A job that is in my field of study, that I applied to a long time ago, called me for an interview. So I went. I am keeping my fingers, toes and eyes crossed that I get this job. I am supposed to find out this week whether I got it or not. So please pray for me that this works out and I land a good job instead of just a job.

I have none! When it comes to my toes at least. Two weeks ago, I was walking in my dressing room and kicked the hook for the leg part of the weight bench. I thought I broke my toe. I couldn't hardly walk on my foot at all. Finally it healed. Then yesterday, I dropped my metal coffee cup on my big toe. Two down 8 to go! Just wanted to share my poor luck with ya!

My daughter starts preschool in September! Yay. More craft time for me! I am really excited. Maybe I can meet some new mommies and have friends! I have Internet Friends and phone friends, but I want visiting friends. Someone who can walk to my house to see me, or I can walk to their house for playdates. The funny things is that I grew up in this town, but I moved away for a while. I have more friends from the other places I lived than I do my hometown! Its sad.

Today is my daughter's birthday!! She is the big 3 today on the same day that my grandma turns 70! Happy birthday girls, I love ya!

So I sold my first hat last week and I am working on a new order. My stepdaughter is trying to get a job in a very artistic coffeeshop. She talked to the owner about my jewelry and hats. He wants to write up a contract with me for my jewelry! Any suggestions on getting a deal and having a contract with someone?? I am very new at this!

I really find something wonderful about making something with me hands. I have been reading a lot of knitting and sewing books to inspire me, but I am so scared. We really don't have the extra money for me to buy fabric, just to mess everything up. So I want to be sure that I know what I am doing before I try anything. But how can you really know what you are doing without trying? Trial and error is the best way to learn, don't you think? So I am trying to talk myself into being brave and just going for it.

I also am going to make a bunch of hats up and sell them. I don't know where or the best way to go about it, but I am hoping I figure it out soon. I would love to make some money off of something that gives me peace.

Almost everyone has heard of Secret Santa, where you recieve a gift but you don't know who it is from, and you also secretly give someone a gift. Well I want to do that, or something like it. They built a new cancer center in town and we just lost an old friend to cancer. Well she wasn't old. She was in her late 40's. They found the tumor, told her she had a month, but she only lived about a week. It just shocked everyone. But I was reading Debbie Macomber's Blossom Street series when this happened. Alix's prayer shawl struck a cord with me when the grandma died with that on her shoulders. Wouldn't it be nice to have something like a shawl to know that someone, someone you don't even know, is praying for you and hoping that you survive? It would be like a constant hug around someone's shoulders who is trying to fight the good fight. So I am considering making a bunch up and shipping them to the cancer center. Or maybe asking around to see if anyone has a family member amidst the struggle.

Please comment or make suggestions. I love getting messages. Or tell me to shut up if you wish!!
