Hubby just got called for a JOB INTERVIEW!!! He is getting ready to head to it. Please cross your fingers!!!

crossing crossing crossing!

He got the job!!!!!!!

Hooray for Yosamitsa's hubby!!!! Best wishes on the new job. Know that's a big relief.

Indeed! It is so hard to find work. A big congrats!

Yayayyyyyy!!

WOO HOO!!! He started today. He had to be there by 7am and he got there at 6:30am. The rule at his company is anyone who is late...better buy breakfast for the WHOLE office...and NOT the $1 McMuffins... LOL!

He was on cloud nine last night!!! He is SO excited!!! :D

Now...time to get more sign ups so we can get this thing swapping!!! :)

Yea! Congrats on the new job, that's fantastic!

Congrats to your hubby Yosamitesa. It's always such a relief.

Marytoddliz I got yours

Well...his first day was a success. He got there and met the guys. Him and 2 other guys have the same name!!! He did service calls with one of the guys who has the same name. They went out to a service call, then back to the shop, then out for a service call, then grab lunch, then back to the shop, then out for a service call, back to the shop to cut stuff for service call then back to the call, then back to the shop then home!!! He had a ball!!! To top it off...the guy who he was working for that basically CLOSED the business after he took a week off in November and never called the guys back to work, CALLED hubby yesterday. He wanted hubby to come back to work for him. Both hubby and another guy who have been keeping in contact with each other and helping each other with job leads started jobs yesterday, both got called by their former boss, both told him "Sorry, but I have a real job now!!!" I'm so proud of him. He said, you know I don't want to go back, I told him there were NO options, he was not going back, period. He was NOT quitting after one day with a GREAT company to go back to a company where he may or may not be working next week!!! There is NO option!

Happy dance...happy dance...

Where is the dancing kitty video???

:) :) :) I just busted a move for you because your excitement was contagious!

I want to thank you for how this swap is set up, just love the idea of having the squares done before signing up (no pressure to get em done) and the 'wait' will be a superb surprise.

Finally finished the transportation block exchange. Now who do I send it to, A 2 year old that is so sweet or a baby boy due any day?? I know it would work for the 2 year old, but I think he might like the creepy crawlies better. Decisions!!

My Sister must have some OCD in her, she said they are all facing different directions, you need to make them all the same way! What do you ladies think? I like it better random, but now that she pointed it out?

I love the transportation quilt, and so would my 3 yo son.

I did notice that they face different directions, but I don't know how I feel about it. I don't think a kid would mind, and if they were checking it out with a friend, they would be looking form different directions anyway.

LOVE it!!! Wouldn't of noticed. It's perfect. Give to baby coming...creepy crawlies for big kid. Hey will LOVE what has been coming in.

I like it random. Give it to the 2 year old along with a truck.

Random is great- the child won't always be facing the same direction when using it !

I decided to give the transportation one to baby, and make The Farm one for the two year old. And I agree, random is good enough! It takes too much thought to make sure they are all going same direction. Better to be random than have one whole row wrong!

I did the back of the transportation one with Flannel, makes it so soft. I think I will do flannel for the next one also.

Thanks so much for doing the swap Yosemite, I love this size blocks for I spy quilts!

And I am really really happy hubby likes the new job! makes life easier all around!

These are due in my hands NEXT Friday, August 30th, 2013. Going to send reminders to those who have not mailed yet...

FYI - Next swap will be September/October/November and will be Hodge Podge (Stashbuster). This will be ANYTHING you have in your stash and the 12 squares in each set do NOT have to match. That means you can have 6 of one and 6 of another, 2 of one and 10 of another, etc. If you have any questions, please let me know!!! Also...NOODLE twist will be back...it will be Hodge Podge (stashbuster) as well. ONLY on stipulation with this one...all 5 strips in each bag must be different and no 2 bags can be the same. :D Start shopping your stash ladies. Remember that fabric you bought 3 years ago and now you have NO idea why??? Bust it out and lets go!!!

Here is my latest project for a baby girl. These are charm sized squares!!!

Swap squares are due THIS Friday!!! If you haven't mailed, do so today!!!

Love the baby items. I made some of those burp cloths for my grandson. I made so many, he couldn't use them all. LOL

I'm so excited to get my squares!

Charp, me too! This will be so much fun seeing what treasures we get.

Going to start swapping TODAY!!! Missing a couple, but swapping anyways.

Any update on this swap? I know the official send date is not for awhile but one can always hope. Can't wait to see all the creepy crawlies.

Out of town shop hopping. Will finish next week when I get home. ;)

Now that sounds like fun! Enjoy!

I'm back!!! I'm back!!! Vaction was WONDERFUL!!! Had a blast shop hopping. Hit 25 quilt shop hop stores ( +1 additional) in 8 days. Now I'm back to work and sad.

What a fun way to spend a vacation!

It was AMAZING!!!

WOW!!!! 25 quilt shops ~ dream vacation!!!!!

So excited! I can't wait to get my hands on them! I already have a quilt started that will add creepy crawlies squares to!

"FYI - Next swap will be September/October/November and will be Hodge Podge (Stashbuster). This will be ANYTHING you have in your stash and the 12 squares in each set do NOT have to match."
For Hodge Podge, is this ANY fabric, or I spy type stuff? Just looking toward the next swap!

Did anyone get their blocks yet? I am leaving Sunday for a week and hope they will be here before I go. If I am gone my kids might just open them. :D

I have been watching my mail in anticipation! Nothing today.

Sorry ladies. Work went crazy. Got back from vacation and my boss had given notice. Been helping tie up loose ends. Will finish swapping this week and ship out. I'll send tracking numbers when I ship. So sorry for the delay.

Coming back from vacation and getting back in the groove is enough without boss leaving! Good luck on getting everything as it needs to be.
We can wait (im)patiently a little longer. Lol!

Throw in a throwing up three year old...gonna be a long week.
