Summer's coming and lots of opportunity is rising!

It's an exciting time for me; the past few days have seemed like miracles. After months and months of job searching, I've finally landed myself a job with a home care agency close to my home. I got a call Monday morning from their main office, was asked to go to my local office during the week, and I did. On Tuesday morning I signed a bunch of 'employee' forms and got my first case within a few hours. Although, that first one was canceled this afternoon. :( Oh well. I ended up grabbing some 'fill-in' hours this weekend, so it's a start. 

Anyway, enough about me.

Last week I tested SoulCandy Crochet's newest pattern for the XL Tote. It worked up wonderfully, and not to mention, the bag is HUGE! It is most definitely, the best summer/beach bag in the world. I know I will be using mine quite often. ;)

You can buy a copy of the pattern here.

Also, I will be needing pattern testers of my own fairly soon! With inspiration from SoulCandy, I came up with a bag of my own... It reminds me of something I owned when I was a kid. I'll post more about that later, though. If you would like more info on becoming a Crabapple Crochet pattern tester, please leave a comment explaining why you think you qualify and leave your contact info below. I will send out a mass e-mail later on when the pattern is ready to be tested. 

It's a rainy, rainy day, and it's time to get movin'!
