Cooking Inspiration and Puppy Cuteness!

Been a long couple of weeks and lots has happened. Let’s see, where do I start? I’ve been applying for jobs like crazy and actually had a couple of interviews so I had to get myself something to ware seeing I’ve out grown everything I own. The first interview was with Fusion Beads and the other was with Washington Citizen Action they are working on healthcare reform which I feel so strongly about, being someone who has to pay out of pocket for her own healthcare and may have to go without healthcare because it’s gotten so expensive. As it stands right now, I got the job at fusion beads which if part time, two days a week. The other one is also part time working evening from 5:00 to 9:00 (which will cause me to discontinue going to Patti’s for craft night) I’m going Tuesday night to observe, to see if it’s something I want to do and for them to see if it’s something I can do. The job basically entails calling member on the phone asking for money, and coming form someone who hangs up on phone solicitor. I’m not to sure how well I’ll do, the only thing going for me is that fact that I believe in the issue so strongly. Then on Friday I decided to head out to Eastern Wa to visit my friend Terri again. I figure with the possibility of having two jobs who knows when I’ll get to see her again.

Also last week I got really creative with cooking. Now I’m one of those people who wish there was a pill I could take, rather then having to take the time to figure what to eat, preparing it and then having to sit down and eat it. But I had a lot of fun cooking up a storm, I should have taken pictures. And so far it seem like I’m still on a cooking roll. Today I made Asparagus soup. I bought a bunch of Asparagus while I was at Terri’s and thought I would pickle them but today I decided on soup.

On the knitting front, I finished Alex’s sweater and it turned out great (photo to come later) now I’m making a sweater for my bothers girlfriends dog which is a 3 month old Yorkie and man she small I mean she is extra small she cant be more than 1/2 lb. (I didn't knit the sweater that's she's wearing in this photo) Basically I’m knitting a sock that will have holes for her legs and head.

Meet Penny!

and I just have to share this cute picture of Penny and Jix (my brothers Rat Terrier who's only 6 months old)

I told my brother he needs to send this picture to Cute Overload

I’m also still working on my socks and planning my next project which will be a shawl. I’ve had the yarn but haven’t been able to find a pattern I like. Well, last weekend I when to the Seattle Knitting & Fiber Arts Expo and found a pattern at Toots LeBlanc & Co. booth I’m really excited to get started on it.
