It has been a crazy week with me starting my new job! I've had to get up super early a few days and drive for training in another town! I'm still super excited, but I know its going to take time to get use to it all -- hence why I haven't been able to post anything in past few days!! I'm going to have to get better at writing blogs the night before and having blogger post them for me the next day. Technology is so awesome!!

I have been working on a few things and I hope to show them off to you this weekend! Lots of yarn and thread!!

Friday I'm in Love - New Beginnings

Today is my last day at my current job.  I'll be hanging up my headset from the non-profit I've been with for the last three years and starting my new career on Monday as an official Social Worker.  It is a new chapter for me and feels like everything is really starting over. A new beginning to the next chapter in my life I guess!

When I was thinking of this blog post I was reminding of a quote from J.R.R. Tolkien's Fellowship of the Ring

" 'It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out of your door,' he used to say. 'You step into the Road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to.'"

There is a sense of adventure for me.  I am super excited about this new job I'll be starting on Monday!

I think this picture sums it up just nice!

I wanted to end with this song.  It always comes to mind when I think about starting something new or going on a new journey in my life.  I know I have come a long way personally and how each day I feel more and more OK with who I am.  Enjoy the song, Joshua Radin is amazing!

all pictures from we heart it

Also -- you may have noticed that today is the 99th post for Geek Inspired! Come back tomorrow for the 100th post and little surprise!!

Pumpkins Everywhere!!!

I have finished up some more pumpkins for the CAL and thought I'd show them off!

They are so easy to make that I find myself just making another one just for fun!

I love looking at the Fllickr album of the other pumpkins! Check them out for some other really great ones!!

I also wanted to show off the Jayne Hat I embroidered for my next coffee sleeve.  I'm still thinking of the perfect quote to go with it. I've gotten some great suggestions from my friend Marci, but would still love more suggestions!  Let me know if you have an idea for a quote to go with it!

Friday I'm in Love - Stars

It has been a LONG Friday for me!!

This morning I saw a blog post that had a picture of a star and instantly brightened my day! I love love stars!

I hope these stars will bring you some love on Friday!

These necklaces are super cute!

I want to get another tattoo and plan to get one with stars in it.  My little sister has star tattoos and they look awesome. I think it would be cool if we had similar tattoos!  Its going to be awhile before I get one though - need extra money first!  I love this star tattoo!

So lets end this little blog post with a great song about stars!

I of course picked this version because it has Bono! Many of you know I am so in love with him!!
