Sampler update

Another update I know hehe, I have been doing this alot recently to try and get it finished... nearly there now! I have been following the design just as it is, the only thing I have actually changed is the womans hair colour, on the design it is blonde but seeing as I have brown hair I thought I would change it. I am hoping to get this finished either by the end of this week or the beginning of next woohoo

Celebration sampler update

I have just finished stitching the thimble square this afternoon on this. I love stitching this sampler so much and find it so addictive! I am not putting it away just yet, I have my stitching bug today so i'm gunna stitch like theres no tomorrow lol.

New job

I have been unemployed now since June 08 which is a very long time! This isn't by choice, I have been looking religiously for a job every day but as it is now, there isn't a lot going. In my time of being unemployed, I have had 1 interview which didn't go too well.

So anyway, I got a phone call last week inviting to a group interview last Friday (27th) for a care assistant job, on Friday morning I got another phone call for another interview for the following Monday (30th) which was for a nursery nurse. Fridays interview went ok then when I went for the one yesterday I had a good feeling that it would go well. When I went in they did all the usual interview stuff and then they asked me if I would be willing to do a trail for an hour to see how I got on with the children. After about 15 mins they came back and said that I have the job!! This is the first interview I have had which has offered me the job there and then.

I am going to the job centre this afternoon to sign off which I am really looking forward to and I start working next Monday woohoo!

'Thankyou'

Here is another thankyou card that I have done for another good friend of mine. I didn't actually notice until after I took this pic that you can kind of see the black through the aida... oops. You can't see it as much in real life though... strange huh?!

This took me about a day to complete as it is only a small design, I really enjoyed doing it though... seeing it grow so quickly!

Cross stitch celebration sampler

I love stitching this!! This is a group SAL in a forum that I am a member of, most of the people who joined have already finished as we started at the beginning of Feb, but I have had mine on hold for a while with stitching me 2 u and my two thankyou cards. I find with this I just can't put it down, its so addictive! I seem to treat each square as a mini project then it doesn't seem too big.

Thankyou card

This is a quick card I made for a good friend of mine as she got me a few gifts for my birthday. The chart is actually from Cross Stitch Crazy mag a few months ago (was in a little book) I changed alot of the colours and just used the stash that I already had. It only actually took me a day to stitch this... partly because I got addicted and couldn't put it down lol! Stitching cards is so much fun as they grow so quickly :)

Me 2 u- finished

I managed to get this finished this afternoon! I am so proud of it as this is my first ever project that has been framed. Such a shame I need to give it away lol!

I'm not actually seeing my mum on Wednesday now as she doesn't want to take her dog to the vet so I have put it up on my wall for now until I get it to her... I mays well enjoy it hadn't I? :P
