I started the "Year in a Snap" series from the book "Quilter's Dozen Plus" last year in January. I got them done thru the July wall hanging and then I had to stop sewing and pack to move. We got moved and unpacked and then it was time to start classes for tax season and then tax season started. I worked a jillion hours this tax season so I didn't get any sewing done at all until late April. I'm just now starting to get caught up a little bit.

In other places tax season is fun. In this place it was super stressful and not much fun at all. I should get tons and tons more done this year since I won't be working tax season here again.

That's really cute! I was contacted to take a 72 hour classroom course to learn how to prepare taxes, how hard is it? Don't mean to ask, but does it pay well? :oops: Do you work your own hours? You don't have to answer. I'm on SS and need a little extra income. Just askin.

I didn't think it was hard but there were several people that dropped out. The hours you work depends on the company you work for. The first office I worked in we worked 40 hours a week absolute maximum and then after "peak" was over it went down to 25 to 30 hours. We also got paid a bonus based on the value of the returns we did. The last office I worked in we worked from 40 to 60 hours or more a week and the pay was straight pay with no bonus. I made more in the first office I worked in. Both offices are independently owned franchises of the major national tax prep company.

Yummy quilt! Nice job getting back to it. I have been guilty of finding something years down the road, saying ... OMG!! I forgot about this... LOL!

You are going to make more from this series? I thought that was what you were saying. Correct me if I am wrong ... It sounded that way from your post.

I work for an accountant. I am well aware of "tax season" and how much work it is. I don't get a whole lot of quilting done then. I do use it a little to de-stress after a long day of people and numbers


I like you block!!!
