Stitch from stash

Another month went by and I've stitched only from the stash. Really, I even didn't stitch that much... I started this little ornie and I finished it - the stitching part I mean.
July was a challenging month, month of recovery I would say. I've survived my birthday and made career changes - now I'm looking forward to the rest of this year.

So long my friends,

Weekly Reflections

Thanks to Deborah I came across scattered life collective. I liked what I was reading so I joined and from now on you can read my story on a weekly basis.

State of Being

I've survived my big birthday! It was hard but I did it. I also made some major career changes. Until now I did accounting full time and I had a 'secret life' of a beauty consultant with Mary Kay Cosmetics. After 20 years or so I've realized that being a beauty consultant makes me feel like a million $$, makes me happy - on the other hand - accounting doesn't make me happy, just pays the bills... Well, I decided to be MK beauty consultant full time and do accounting just part time (for now). Let's see where that will lead me.

Wednesday I'm leaving for MK Seminar in Toronto and I'm so excited! Four days filled with classes, demonstrations (my favorite one is with the makeup artist) and, of course, a Gala Night. Gala night is awesome - it is almost like the Academy Awards but better. Instead of Oscars consultants are awarded with cars, diamond jewellery, exotic trips, money - next year I'll be on the stage collecting some of the rewards, cross my heart. After all, sky is the limit.  Here is a little  promo clip from the upcoming event.

Stitching
I haven't stitch much last week... this is progress on a new start called 'Courage' from Little House Needleworks

Happy Dance

My Sunshine is done and I'm dancing but not Tango Argentina. Oh, well - bravo to Germans!

The chart is going to Janet, she is the one who won my challenge. The best part is that finally we'll meet in person!

This weekend I'd join stitching along with FB group. I was stitching a freebie on 32 ct  Queen Anne Lace jobelan with Plymouth Red from Carrie's Creation. I'm pretty happy with the progress

and it looks like I can have it done just for my birthday. Yeah, I'm a Cancer and this Wednesday I'm getting hit by the big one... Let me tell ya, I'm not looking forward to it. Everybody is telling me that it's just a number - but, gosh, IT IS A BIG NUMBER AND I DO NOT LIKE IT! Does any one has an idea how to survive that day and all days after...? OMG, only 40 years to go before I'm a century old...

So long my friends,
