No more oh-my-goodness slow-ness from the other computer.. seriously, you have no idea how happy this makes me. The other computer was SLLLLLOOOOOOOWWW.. it was driving me nuts.. especially on days when my nerves were already totally on the edge... if you know what I mean ;-)
So.. the big news of the day/week/month..
I'm going to start working from home starting Monday..! well.. little loop-hole.. I'll be still working my current job on a part-time-type basis, but basically.. I'll be home :) Yay!
I was so blessed with the opportunity to get offered a job working part time from home for my brother-in-law's business, along with watching my little cutie-almost 1-year old nephew :) Soooo, then came the really hard part of coming in to work that next Monday, and talking to my boss about the dreaded 2-week notice.. eek! For me, this was a very difficult thing to do.. I'm a total creature of emotion, and totally hate doing things that I think hurt people's feelings.. But.. I was able to have a good conversation with him, and as of right now, we're going to try to work out a deal to where I can still do this job part-time, and do the work-from-home job too. Oh my goodness :) I'm so excited! It's quite possible it could be a little hectic at first trying to learn new things, learn a new schedule and figure out the best way to handle all of this, but I think that in the long run, this could work out great.
I believe that God answers our prayers and guides our lives when we allow Him to, and I had been secretly praying for a way to be home. I love being home. I might be one of the weirdest people on the planet, but home is so comfortable. I love being there and cleaning, and working on projects, recipes, having dinner ready for my husband and all those goofy house-wifey type things. :) Call me old fashioned. Call me weird. Call me Donna Reed :) lol
So on to other fun stuff!!
I got my new sewing machine for my birthday!!! WOOP-WOOP!
This gorgeous puppy here:
I'm soooo geeked about all the fun projects I get to work on. I'm waaay too loaded with ideas. In fact, I need to kind get my ideas organized and work on one thing at a time. I get a little anxious and obsessed with things I want to do and my hobbies and I tend get in over my head. But oh well :P
For now though, I've been setting up my little hobby workshop upstairs. Now I just need a trip to Ikea, the most wonderful store for major organization ideas and items.. and maybe some money to make the trip and actually be able to leave the store with items. But for now I will work with what I have :)
Speaking of workshop.. I recently made these adorable puppies from felt for my little step-daughter for her Halloween costume.
She wanted to be an elf-santa's workshop-worker-girl.. so we made it happen. We shopped the Goodwill for little dresses, and with the wonders of my sewing machine, we made her a little Christmas dress. It was so much fun. Halloween costume for $5.. right up my alley!
I have a dress-makeover project I'm just finishing up that I will post here shortly. Just have to get the rest of the pictures taken.. my phone and my computer all sync up and make it so much easier.
Well, I'm totally outta here for now. We're headed out tonight for another family skate night. :)
Much more to elaborate on later!
