Time

Passing time:  no work at the moment.  Bah.  The temp agencies tell me that it's "quiet".  Oh, so you're not just ignoring me then.  Will sign up with some more.  My main job at the moment should be finding a job.  Though there are lots of creative opportunities popping up (more news in due course, if any of them pan out) which are very exciting, none of them are potentially very lucrative.  Rather than twiddling my thumbs I'm getting them stuck into clay and fabric and thread, but I'm just so ready to have a proper grown up job again.

Marking time:  I thought to myself this morning - 'Oh, my blogiversary must be soon.'  I realised it was back in May, whoopsie.  So as it seems traditional, I will offer a little anniversary pressie to someone who comments before Monday.  I'm surprised I missed it, and by over a month, but I guess other things have been going on.  But I am eternally grateful to bloggy people and commenters who have made me laugh and given me things to think about, and provided inspiration over the past year.  Mwah, mwah to you all.

Time moves on:  Dates and time were uppermost in my mind this morning and now I realise why - today is the date that the solicitor can go back to the court and apply for the decree absolute (you have to wait six weeks after the decree nisi, which is nothing more than a pain in the arse, let me tell you) and so I should be divorced in the next week or so.  Wow. It's a good thing, just a strange thing.  Paperwork arrived about the new flat.  I have to get myself up to speed on being a house buyer!

Time to go to the post office.  Baby presents and birthday presents to go in the post.  Have a good weekend, all you lovely folk xx

Oh is there anything more dull than waiting to find a job, especially one that will actually pay the bills?! I hope you find something suitable soon and enjoy making stuff in the meantime. Sorry about the divorce but I guess the absolute makes it a little bit easier to look forwards. I hope you are ok. Congratulations on making a year in blog land - I love this blog and it is one of only a few I check everyday. I'm so nosy about other people's lives!

Better late than never...Happy Bloganniversary! Sounds like you are at the start of many things (job, home and life on your own) so I'm sending you plenty of cyber good wishes for your future!!!TTFN

happy blogiversary! Hope the job hunting proves fruitful but I am intrigued by the not so lucrative creative opportunities. If you haven't already gone - don't bother braving the element to get to the PO - they're on strike. Meanies and just when they know I am waiting for a fabric parcel!!

Happy Blogiversary to you, sweet little Flib! Time is indeed passing, and before you know it, this transition time will be gone and you'll be off on a new adventure! Best of luck in search of it!!!

What delicious posts! I did some wonderful catching up reading on your bloggy and it sounds like you had the most amazing time on the East Coast.

And happy happy happy bloiversary. I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed reading your blog. Thank you for letting us into your cozy crafty world!

Happy belated blogiversary! Seems like a lot has happened in that year. I'm so glad I stumbled upon your blog. I love reading your enthusiasm about your crafts and the lovely down-to-earth way you share the tales of your life.

Happy (belated) blogiversary, and best wishes with the job search.

I'm having trouble seeing your photos today. It may be my computer timing out so I shall have to check again later.

Happy blogiversary! I check here often and am always glad to see when you've posted. By the way, I made the Magnolia bakery cupcakes you linked to the other day - Oh My Goodness. I am embarassed to admit how many I scoffed before offering them around ... Best have a rerun for a cake sale this weekend!

[Ali]

And mwah to you too! And boo for creative but not lucrative. Wouldn't it be fab if we could all just get paid for doing what we love. Job hunting is grim - wishing you lots of luck.

Big congratulations on getting to the bloggy milestone! So many big things happening on your life front, too. All the best for the next stage...and I'm crossing my fingers for you on the job front. Cheers :-)

Happy happy, F-G! It doesn't seem a year, does it? How life has changed! Good things on the horizon :D

[Claire (Bahrain)]

Happy Blogiversary! Happy Divorce! (maybe?) I think things are looking up for you. Best wishes in everything that you do. I have been reading your blog for some time now and I think you and your blog are great. Good luck!

It's all falling into place, isn't it? And I have this image of you just riding the crest of this very good wave -- scary at times, perhaps, and challenging for sure, but with the sun streaming down and a big smile on your face -- more good things are certainly coming your way. Glad your US trip went so well and that you got home with all your treasures.

[Rebecca]

Just catching up with your NY trip - looks like you had a fabulous time. Hope returning to 'real life' hasn't been too painful!

[tamy]

Many congrats on an important milestone. Better late than never to celebrate the fun and fab stuff! Hope you had a great trip! It sounds like everthing is falling into place .... Many thanks for sharing!

so jealous about your flat-buying. fingers crossed everything continues on an upwards direction (and includes lots of wool)
