sadly the PP and i were part of the large JcPenney layoffs this morning. Any good thoughts, prayers, spells whatever , is apprecitated.
Ew. Here's hoping for the very best. :-[
My thoughts and prayers are with your family. You two will bounce back bigger and better, than you were before...................Huzzah
Stitch! That's terrible! I can't believe they would lay you both off at the same time. There ought to be a law... All of my positive energy is being directed to you kids... :-*
So sorry to hear about that. I'm sure with your talents you guys will find new jobs soon.
Sorry to hear about that. I hope you both find good jobs soon.
So sorry to hear your news, LadyStitch. Good luck finding new jobs--sending good vibes your way.
>:( That just ... well, can't say that here.
Thinking of you and PP and sending all the good vibes I can pull from the universe today.
Sorry to hear that. I know what it's like I was downsized from a job back in 2003. You guys will have my thoughts and prayers.
We are staying positive on this. We are spending to day moping and doing things to make us feel better. (fuzzlet is at easter egg hunt/ spring party for her last day of day care.) funny enough when we were doing some of our errands we had a couple good leads pop up. I will say this, make sure you network with any one you know, and trust me being a good person to everyone does help you in the long run.
On the positive side creativity wise, this means the PP is free to do his custom puppet work, and I now have time to do any custom sewing needed. If you need examples of my work, they are all over the site, and I have examples on my online stores and facebook.
All in all the PP and I are staying positive. This weekend we are spending it with one group of family, and next we will be celebrating Merlin and Nim's wedding at scarby with our Ren family. During the week we are going to contiune to work on resumes, network, and keep putting one foot in front of the other.
Ladystitch where is your online store?..............Huzzah
Stitch, I'm touched that you'd even think about us while you have this on your plate, but we'll be so happy to have you there... Lots of hugs to all three of you...
Oh I am so sorry to hear about this. It is such a blow for any family. Best of luck to you both for quick placement.
I use wepay.com instead of etsy. We pay handles everything without dealing with pay pal.
My two shops are "Grandma's cedar chest" for the children's clothing. Then my custom sewing is "Lady stitch Apparel". I also have a facebook page. I haven't gotten all my custom items up on my Lady stitch we pay site yet.
Merlin, The last time I was laid off (for 4 days) we had planned to take a vacation to NZ. we decided to still go dispite what happened. Because of that trip, I got the position at the school, and my theater and sewing jobs now. Everything happens for a reason.

Huzzah to that. Not to the layoffs, of course, but to the future. We can either worry about the fact that next to nothing is guaranteed, or enjoy the adventure that is life. Keep that great attitude, and you'll be fine.
May things improve for you both soon!
That really sucks. Good thoughts your way, something will pop up when you least expect it !!!
Positive attitude counts for a lot, Stitch. I applaud you.
Sending lots of positive energy to you all, and awesome new job vibes, as well! (((HUGS)))
Sending prayers and positive energy your way! Hopefully this is the open door to a grand adventure for both of you!

The PP's attitude has been, "Sometimes you have to blow up the enterprise." ;D
Lots of good, warm fuzzy thoughts, positive energy and some hugs being sent your way, Lady Stitch.

So right, Keptin...
A little bit of an update....
The PP and both have gotten a couple of interviews. The PP got a couple got strong nibbles, but no solid bites. I've been doing ALOT of custom sewing and commissions so I have NOT been idle to say the least.
On a happy note I do have an interview next week in an area I wasn't sure I wanted to go back into but something is calling me that way. Keep your fingers crossed/ good vibes/prayers ect coming our way.
No rest for the Wicked, Lass. ;)
Glad to hear things are looking up. 8)
Good vibes sent! Good luck to you both.
Keep hanging in there! You never know what will happen. I got laid off in February and it ended up being a good thing as I'm starting my OWN business! Everything can end up leading in a good direction if you work to turn it around! :)
Hugs and prayers to you both. Something better will come along! Your positive attitude will see to that :)

I had an interview last week, and it went REALLY WELL! I have a follow up one tomorrow. It is the place that i wasn't sure I wanted to go towards but amazingly it seems like a great fit so far. As for the PP he got a call on Thursday the same time we got number 777 as our deli pick up number :: dodododo:: He had his interview yesterday and it went AMZAZING!!! He hopes to hear something by end of the week. As grandma use to say, Lord willing and the creek doesnt' rise, we may have good news come Saturday. ;D
Hugs and good luck!
Huzzah Lady Stitch! Sending some more positive energy and warm & fuzzy thoughts your way!
I've got good news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Pink Pirate just got hired he starts tomorrow!! His benafits start tomorrow as well. And we are going out to eat to celebrate. I have still not heard back about mine but we shall see what happens. ;D
The enterprise got blown up but guess what the PP got an even bigger better enterprise ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Oh and he got cast in Simbad the sailor (The same show that he did when we got married 11 years ago.) Its a great week so far.
That's so wonderful to hear, Lady Stitch! Congrats and HUZZAH!
Most excellent to hear. :)
YAY!!!!!!
Congratulations!!!! :D
See! I TOLD you wizards were good to know! Congrats!
Oh, how absolutely wonderful, LadyS!!! I'm so glad for you all!
Happy day!! Congratulations! ;D
Congratulations!! That is wonderful news! ;D
That is great news! Glad things are turning around for you!
I had not updated this is a while so i thought i would let you know how we are doing.
The PP is absolutely LOVING his new job. He is finally in a place where he feels like he is home, in a place where he can feel like he belongs.
Myself on the other hand is having a hard time finding something. I have enjoyed spending the past 6 months home with my sweet angel but she needs to go back to her wonderful school and I need to find a place where i belong as well. If you have any good thoughts or leads please send them my way.
So happy to hear things are working out for the PP.
Sending prayers and good thoughts your way, LS!
Lots of good thoughts your way LadyStitch! And I am going to send you a PM too...check your inbox shortly!
