I just stumbled on this. I love, love, love the stuff she's made! I plan to use up some of my stash in an attempt to make one of the ruffly scarves (I'll use silk).
In boring job hunting news: DH is now being courted by 4 companies (most in SF). The latest may let him work from here for a while (this would be a mixed blessing--good financially but would mean I'm stuck in this gig for a while). Oh well. I'm just crossing my fingers he gets a job (and one he likes).
In other news, I now have a vagulely professional sewing gig. A buddy of mine is opening a store in her little town in MT and has asked me to design/sew some inventory for her. So far, I've made 3 burp cloths (not a lot, but my time is seriously limited).
I guess that's it for now. TGIF!!!

California?
DH has had a couple interviews with companies in Northern CA. So, the job search focus has changed for me. I need to find jobs to apply for and then actually apply for them. :)
I'm stressing about cash but at least DH is trying to get a job with a nice steady paycheck.
Crossing my fingers this all works out.

NYC?? Texas?? Somewhere else???
Pardon the current obsessing over various places. I am overly focused on the idea of escaping the Land of Entrapment (if only for a year or so).
DH has an interview in a city where I can't find anything I'm qualified for that will pay a decent wage *cough* NYC *cough*. But I've looked into it and apparently there are places that are affordable to live in the area--so there's that (some detached houses with tiny little yards--SQUEE). And if he made enough, I could loaf about for a while and/or get some little froof part time gig (which would be amazingly awesome and would completely fix this whole burn out problem I have). Also, New York is a much cooler city (that goes without saying, but still). The downside--it's colder there. If I whine about it being too cold in the Southwest, and I do, then I'm pretty sure the first couple of winters would kick my ass.
The job posting for the job I applied for has closed. So they're reviewing applications. I guess we'll see if I get a bite.
Another possibility is the Austin area of Texas (not quite as cool as NYC but super cheap). IDK. This uncertainty is annoying at best. Bah.
I want a new job. And, I want to move.
