The centre of Louise's quilt (the Hunter's Star) is done, but I still need to get the borders on. I didn't have enough yardage to cut the borders long enough to not need cornerstones, so I figure I'll do four 8 point stars in the green print and the sand "solid" and use those. Failing that, I'll use a solid chuck of the green and call it a design decision.
It's Scott's birthday today - he doesn't want a cake, but I think I'll make some cupcakes anyway - the kids will eat them.
This week - the ant act continues. Well, in the afternoons, anyway. That long-ish term sub possibility at the Elementary School has turned into reality - I'm a Lunch Lady! Oh, the glamour! I start at 7:30, I'm home by 2, and I get to spend the 6 hours in between with some very fun people. It goes fast, and a paycheck? I haven't had a paycheck since Simon was a very little guy. I think the possibility exist for this job to continue permanently, but I think that one of the other girls who's working on a part-time basis could really use the full time job and the associated insurance benefits (her husband is self employed, and they have a couple of small kids) so why wouldn't I give her the first crack at the job? I can still sub elsewhere in the school a couple of days a week if I want just for a little extra cash, and she'll be able to provide her family with a little extra security. We all win! But that decision won't be made for a month or so, and all sorts of things can change in a much, right? We'll see.

Awesome dragon head! Your design?
Sounds like "spreading the wealth around" to me.
Have fun.
Tanya, thanks! No, noy my design, it's a... McCalls (I think) pattern. When I buy kid costume patterns I've always looked for the jumpsuit/hood combo. The hood can then be made into anything, and the jumpsuit can be repurposed - dog suit becomes bear suit becomes kitty suit just by adding a different head.
And Christine, yeah, I guess it does sound a little un-capitalist, huh? Must be the "not from here" part of me.
Clever! BTW, I've been enjoying your Monday posts. (Maybe "enjoying" isn't the right word. Appreciating? Mulling over?)
