So I started my job at the Top Stitch this weekend, and wow, is it ever lovely!
Basically my "work" day involves laughing so hard at Carrie's stories that my face hurts,
having darling Patti mother me to death, asking me every five seconds: "Are you okay? Can I get you water? Can I run to the bakery and get you a treat?" "Do you need to put your feet up?"
Being allowed to spend my day choosing fabrics and patterns to sew whatever I fancy for the store displays,
Talking to the sweetest of sweet customers about my sewing obsession.  Brainstorming with crazy-talented co-workers.  Dipping into the company chocolate fund.  Abiding by a dress code that includes jeans, and adorable aprons.  Learning everything I ever wanted to know about sewing.

I'm still pinching myself!

  6. So so excited for you and your new job! It is SO perfect! And what is this little rumor I hear about you working at Farm Chicks? So fun! I miss you so, dear friend. Sorry I have been so MIA- things are so crazy busy over here with getting ready for our move! But I would love love love some packing company next week if you're up to it- any nights work for you? You wouldn't have to lift a box- just talk :) And you have to come see my house before we move!
