Hello again. Happy Friday!! Is it a happy Friday for you? It kind of is for me. Today, I'm going to be officially laid off from my company. The last two weeks, I have been "on the bench" - meaning I got paid for 2 weeks for hanging around at home, sewing and cleaning while they looked for another assignment for me. I could have taken a 4 week extension to this time but it is unpaid. I opted not to and requested to be laid off. I can now start with a clean slate and find work elsewhere. Now that my work fate has been determined, I'm in better spirits.
Enough work talk. I would like to show you what goodies I've received in the mail this week. Thelma was hosting an Eventide quilt along. I didn't participate in the quilt along but she was giving away prizes to people who commented along the way. I happen to be one of the lucky winners!
I won a fat 1/8 bundle of Charlevoix! How cool is that?? Thank you Thelma!!
Next up, there was a book tour for Pat Sloan's "Tour Ireland with Pat Sloan" book and I was one of the lucky winners from AmandaJean's post. Super cool! I haven't read it yet but I'm planning to this weekend. Thank you AJ!
Well, my husband needs the computer and I have errands to run.
Enjoy your day!
Jen :)

You are going to have so much fun Jen with that fat 1/8 bundle of Charlevoix!! Have fun and congratulations on a spectacular win.
ReplyDeleteIt is most definitely a happy Friday for me! I can't believe how excited I am about this weekend. The sun is shining, the snow is melting...ahhhh...
ReplyDeleteGreat goodies! That fat quarter bundle looks amazing, and the book is wonderful. I was really hoping to win one too ;)
Have a fantastic weekend, Jen.
wow, lucky you! Glad you are having a good Friday. Me too!
ReplyDeleteWOW - you lucky dog! You hit it big. You deserve it. Hope the job search goes well. I'm sure you enjoyed the time at home to sew! That fabric is awesome! What will you make from it? I "WISH" I didn't have to work where I could stay home and sew all day! Wouldn't that be the life? Sadly we have to work don't we? Bummer. Take care! Jenn
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your lovely prizes! Have fun with them! I hope your job search goes well if you are starting to search now :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, that Fat 1/8th bundle is fabulous...how exciting. Now you can collect unemployment too....good luck with that.
ReplyDeleteOoooh, you lucky girl! How fun is that? The fabric is beautiful and from the blog sneak peeks, the Tour Ireland book looked like a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the job. What I want to know is....why is there so much talk about how the economy has recovered, when I'm hearing about more layoffs than ever???
Look at your loot! How fun for you. Love it.
ReplyDeleteJen how luchky are you great wins,well done,looking forward to seeing projects made out of your lovely fabric
