What the kitty has been up to
So teh kitty has been stressing and job hunting and all sorts of stuff. Someone asked me what I was doing to chill. I've been planning my next cross stitch project.My next project is going to be a staged piece. The canvas is one of my very plain but sturdy kahki denim dresses. Over each breast pocket will be a flameing dragon in reds and oranges. (roughly 20-30 hours of stitching each.)Between each button hole will be a tiny (less than an inch square) dragon in reds. (45 min of stitching each) total of 12 tiny dragons so call it 12 hours.On the back between the shoulders will be a purple dragon reclining on a bed of gold and emeralds. ( Estimated 45 to 50 hours of stitching )Each dragon is a stage in the finished piece, and I will be able to wear the dress between stages.Roughly 120 hours of stitching will go into this piece before it is complete and I have thoughts about putting spiral sun symbols scattered around the skirt but I'm not sure yet if I will add them or not.I have about half the floss I need for the front of the dress, and about a quarter of the needed floss for the back of the dress. Hopefully I can find a sale on DMC floss soon. I am picky about the floss I use for wearable art. DMC is the only floss I will use for clothing, it holds it's color. My cheap knockoff brands are just as lovely to use and just as pretty but they bleed like a stuck pig. I only use them for art that is going to be framed or laminated.

CEPT
More on the job stuff. I got two phone calls for interviews today. I have an interview on Friday at 1pm and an interview on Monday (the 23rd) at 2pm. Keep your fingers crossed folks both of these places are in the same national chain and both of them have really good reviews from folks who work there.

CEPT
I had a preliminary interview for a job today.It's at a place I would really enjoy working at; and the ADON liked my interview enough to bump my application and her notes of the interview to the DON's desk.The Don will be back in the office Monday. Please keep a thought or ten for me to get called back for a second interview and to get the job if it is actually the best job for me.Yes I'm open to the universe sending me a better job instead.
