Hello friends,

So sorry for the long absence ~ I have been super busy of late keeping up at work and school ... and looking for a new job. As of last Saturday I have accepted a new position doing mental & behavioral health therapy at a community clinic. This job will give me hours towards the counseling license I am seeking to acquire, yay. It's also a 30 min. commute instead of the 1 hour commute (one-way) that I have been making. I should be starting there within a few weeks. I will be doing some counseling in Spanish, which should be interesting and challenging.

On Sunday, I had the privilege of meeting some great ladies at the most delightful tea that Anna organized at her home. It was lovely to meet Jennifer, Jenna, and Lee, and remember that we all have first names and not just blog names. :) I did take a picture but was asked not to make it public for all the world to see . . . so you will just have to come to Philly to meet us in person to satisfy your curiosity. :)

We had delicious tea, scones, sandwiches, lime marmalade, petite cupcakes, interesting conversation (read Anna's much more entertaining description here) and a bit of stitchery. I worked on Autumn Song by BBD and finished up the bird in the middle. I don't have any real life buddies who stitch so this was an extra special treat for me. The day before, I made up the little pillow pictured above, to thank Anna for getting us together. I am a sucker for color and couldn't resist giving it with this beautiful tin of tea and Anna informed me that the whole ensemble coordinated with her bedroom and outfit, so ... bonus.

I am only managing to get this item posted as it is the middle of the night and I am having trouble sleeping tonight. I'm sorry I haven't been commenting on many blogs lately. Hopefully life will slow down soon! Thanks for stopping by.
