Not about sewing
Geez, I am such a bad blogger..but my sewing mojo, along with any energy has disappeared. Hopefully it will return soon.. I did something VERY un-Karen-like yesterday. I handed in my resignation with no new job to go to. I'm an accountant, I like things orderly and don't normally take risks..but I am now. Alot of it has to do with my health, my current job is stressing me out beyond belief. I like the work, but the office politics, turf wars and bureaucracy were making me nuts.. My last day is May 5th (I want to finish a big project I'm working on) and then I plan to take the rest of May off! I want to sew, knit, embroider, organize my condo (esp my sewing area), anything but accounting.. I also think I may take the plunge and go out on my own. My passion is working with small non-profits, doing the accounting and other financial consulting... I turn 50 in a couple of months and figure if I don't take the chance now with my own business, I'll never do it.. There seems to be alot of this going around the sewing blog-land, although, unlike the others, mine is not sewing related but will feed my soul and hopefully may the mortgage at the same time.... Wish me luck!!!

congrats Karen!
Congratulations! My hubby is an accountant (private corporate acctng) and turning 40 this year. He's unhappy at his job - office politics and the slogging away every day and not feeling fulfilled. I'm encouraging him to do something different too! Yay!
Oh! And you would rock that Vogue knit dress - totally comfy and stylish - what a great pattern!
YOU GO GIRL! ( i hate offices too)
Good luck!
Thanks for all your encouraging words!!! Kinda funny that I live in DC and can't stand politics!!
