Hello hello! I am back. Went out of town two weekends ago and have been doing a lot of interview and school related things since then. I had an interview that happened bright and early last Tuesday morning and it's looking good but no offer yet. One of my references said that the woman admitted that everyone gave me a glowing rec which is always nice to hear. I have an interview this afternoon at a different place and I'm pretty excited about it. It's a quiet doctor's office which is pretty rad. If I get a choice I'll go with the other place I interviewed at--the interviewer was excited by me wanting to stay in one company and move around to learn all the accounting side of things and I'm excited by wearing many hats. But a quiet doctor's office would be low stress and good benefits.

With interviews happening again I've turned my attention to the countdown clock of Moving Out of This Apartment. Other than some occasional issues it has served us well for nearly 4 freaking years but I am OVER apartment living (and I want my dog full time, damnit). So I'm putting aside my cosplay things for now and working on whittling down my stashes for things that I know I don't particularly want to move with us.

First up is a log cabin baby blanket with my purples and yellow/orange fabrics. I know why I have so much purple--every baby blanket I've ever made had people requesting it...but I have NO idea where all this yellow and orange came from. Well, to be honest, I have no real idea where like 60% of my fabric stash came from... But this first one will be a good LSU baby blanket for the hospital. Pictures once I start putting the blocks together. The pattern I'm using makes 14 1/2" blocks (square) so I'll be doing 3 x 4 blocks for one blanket.

I'm going to see how much stash each baby blanket eats up but I'm also going to be working on chainmaille dice bags and lanyards to work down my chain collection (with some jewelry thrown in). I love chainmaille and I love my collection but it's heavy and I have fresh ideas I want to work on--which means I need to get rid of at least half my current collection of rings.
