Still alive

Well, I haven't died yet. I'm still not enjoying being a single woman, but I'm surviving.

I've got tomorrow (Friday!) and one more week left of my job. So that's a BIG relief. Plus, I talked to a fellow editor today of a few of the local magazines and she wanted to be sure I'd still be available for some free lance writing! Yeah, side money.

Anywho, my biggest news of late is that a lady at my work and I have been working on getting all my old college-era t-shirts into a more-easily-movable format rather than a giant duffel bag full of wadded up shirts. So I culled through many of them and cut out the screens and she artfully and skillfully made them into a beautiful quilt.

It looks FAR better than any attempt at sewing I could have done and she's just so proud of it and has another piece for her portfolio of fine work.

Here's a few pics of how it turned out:






Plus, I've got some shirts we're going to turn into pillows to go along with it. I'm super excited. Let me know what you think!
