first a quick update on the job situation. my interview was postponed to tuesday cuz of the snowstorm (when the weather is bad enough, companies will call it a "snow day" and you don't have to go to work! or school!). it went really well, and the recruiter had 2 positions she wanted me to consider. they're both in the approval phase, so hopefully she gets back to me this week. so i could be starting my new job as early as monday! woohoo! :)

and now a couple pictures of my latest and greatest! on sunday, while W was carving down the mountain, i was at home, sewing! hahaha...i've been wanting to make a tote bag for a while, and had the most brilliant idea of making one lined with a hello kitty pattern (cuz there are so many cute hello kitty fabrics at joann's!!). so here it is!



and here is the bolero jacket i just finished (literally like 30 minutes ago). i modified this pattern and added the sleeves. i used a thicker weight yarn so it was kinda tricky figuring out the gauge. i think it turned out pretty well! i may try making another one with a few minor changes. but this is definitely wearable (sorry about the blurry pic)...
