Border Stichin' and a Change

Gentle friends, sorry to be so late with the post this week but my schedule has turned upside down... I'll explain that a little further on, right now let's take a look at the bit o'stichin' I was able to get done...

... you can see where old Frederick will go once I get to him...

____________________

So...  my schedule was upended due to life and changes thrust upon me...  I have never talked about my job/work on the old Blog, as I keep this space for stitching and SF stuff..but, after about 20 +/- years... I was let go and my job moved to North Carolina... and that's fine, life happens and we move on... 

In my life, I've been a Curator in an art museum, worked reception and HR on the Pacific Stock Exchange and the job I had the longest, which ended three weeks ago was Customer Service for a spicey adult company, and I'll leave that there.  I've never defined myself by the job/paycheck I received but I have enjoyed all my past work experiences. You might be asking, what will edgar do now... and for a few days that was me, what was I going to do now.  I received a nice severance package so money wouldn't be an issue for quite a few months and I count myself lucky for that, but I needed to get it in gear and get something else to bring in the old casharoo.  Luckily our next-door neighbours, who we've been friends with for the last 10 years, both work in recruitment so I turned to them for help and they jumped in to help me build a resume and LinkedIn page.  The resume prompted lots of inquiries and interest in me and what I could bring to a job.

  However, I already knew of a position, made a call, got an interview and was hired on the spot.  So I was only out of work for about a week and a half.  I am malleable and change is good!!

A Border for Frederick

 Gentle Friends, I have gotten quite a bit done on the border and here's a snaperoo...

This is how it is charted with no fill around the diamonds and a bit different within them. I like it, just enough difference from Frederika and then again, just similar enough. I am leaning towards no fill around the diamonds.
