Fat Bottom progress, another new project started.....

Yes, you read it right! I am almost halfway done with the fat bottom bag, and got a wild hair to start another project (in the middle of the night last night, when I woke up and couldn't sleep) that I have been wanting to start. I can show a photo of the second project right now, but as I get further along, it will have to wait until the end to be shown or talked about, so a certain "someone" won't know exactly what they are getting as a gift. And they will probably partially guess it right anyway, just from seeing this......

In other news, I am seriously thinking about applying for another job that is coming open within my company, probably next week. I have spoken to the supervisor of that area already, and feel I might have a shot at getting it, since it is more similar to work I have done for about 20 years. I feel like I am stagnant at the department I am at, and don't see any changes on my horizon any time soon. What work is available is extremely boring to me, and not much of it right now. I have continuously volunteered and helped in other areas as much as possible, but its not steady work, either. Our company is growing (just not my particular department right now) and I keep getting assured there will be "more to do", but I have been waiting for it to "pick up" for about 6 months now. Heh, heh, I bet most of you don't usually hear people complain about not having enough work! :)

Here's an interested observer (above) and an updated photo of my Grand-twins (below)!

Back in the Saddle again!

Last night, I finally started a new crochet project. Can anyone guess what it will be? :) Yes, it IS the notorious Fat Bottom Bag (again) ! I have been cruising around in Ravelry lately, trying to get my crochet mojo back, and have seen some different versions that I liked. Since I already have the book, and finally finished up the bag I had been working on, I decided I can never have too many Fat Bottom Bags, and started another one!

The last one I made was with leftover stashed Noro yarn, (see below), and while it turned out o.k., I didn't like how limp it looks and feels, and I have decided I don't like the color of the other purple wool that I used for the purse handles when I ran out of the Noro. I will be making the new one using up more "stash", but this time using the old "stiff yarn" standby....Redheart Yarn, in the "Watercolor" colorway. I am hoping I will like this one more!
