Home of a Needleworker, Progress as of 22.10.06 - Click for a larger image! Over the weekend we had a Stitch-A-Thon over at the Robin’s Nest and unlike last month, when I was just too busy, this weekend I got to participate… AND stitch on one of my own projects to boot!

This is the first time since I have been back in the US that I have been caught up with my robins and exchanges enough so I could work on one of my own things without feeling guilty. And boy let me tell you, I so enjoyed working on something of my very own for a change!

I worked for about six hours on “Home of a Needleworker” and would guess that it is over half-way complete now. I was hoping to get more of the house done than I actually did, but wouldn’t you know it, I ran out of 420! :x Oh well, I guess that just gives me an excuse to go to the fabric store when I get paid later in the week!

And speaking of getting paid… I have a phone interview for a library job tomorrow afternoon! I am very excited, but trying not to get my hopes up too high at the same time. Keep your fingers (and stitches) crossed for me.
