Happy Color Therapy.
I had another job interview today---the second for this particular job. I had my first interview right in the midst of my illness last week and was in such a feverish "fog" that I wasn't very nervous. I just blabbered on and on in my own little world... This time, however, I could feel that dreaded neck-turning-red anxiety creeping up to my cheeks. Ack!
Before and after the interview I worked a bit on my quilt, embroidering fun little images into the "windows" of the design. It felt quite uplifting! I prescribe this sort of colorful craft therapy for everyone.
2nd interview is good.
Just think happy thoughts.
And happy colours.

Yeah for your 2nd interview - you must have blabbered on in a good way the 1st time around! Your quilt looks wonderful with the added embroidery. The colors are so bright and cheerful during the color-less-before-springtime season.

Amber, I LOVE that! The whimsical embroidering brings such life to an already lively quilt.
I haven't had to endure one in years, but I can still remember that awful feeling of which you spoke, brought on by job interviews.
I just prayed for you, regarding a job.

Gorgeous! And I am so inspired that you found the quilt, finished it up almost and are embroidering it NOW rather than later.

Good luck on the interview! I'm crossing my fingers for you and sending happy job vibes your way.
I want to sneak up there and swipe that quilt. Green may be my favorite color, but that is my favorite color combo.
