New Job: Back into the Design World at Last!!!
After a month and a half of searching and interviews I have finally landed a job! Not only did I find a job it is a job where I can use my talents and my education.
For those of you who do not know, I have a degree from Ohio State University in Textiles and Clothing with a focus in Interior Design. My first job out of college was with Dillard's in the home store and slowly I have been moving away from my love and passion of design. I ended up in an administrative assistant position that didn't work out.
My being let go from this position was a blessing in disguise. Not only did it give me a wake up call to the way the world works but it led me to a position that I am so excited to start. I will be working as a sales associate at La-Z-Boy. I will be back into the design business. Although I will not be working as a designer per say I can actually use my degree and knowledge in this position. There is also room within this company to move into an in store designer position( yes La-Z-Boy carries in store designer, I had no idea.)
I have a week and a half till I start my training and I cannot wait. I feel like a giddy school girl. Of course there are drawbacks to a sales position, like working weekends and working till 9 pm some nights, but it will be worth it.
I have been going through all my industry magazines and my text books, organizing everything so that I can access all my resources and a moments notice. Which brings me to my next thought; I will be starting to blog more about design.
Lately my bog has been dominate by my crocheting and has barely held any topics about design, my first love. This will change. Although I still love my crocheting and will keep at my Etsy Shop, I will no longer make it my only concentration. I think I put crocheting first and not design. Now I have a renewal of my design passion and have discovered that crocheting is more of a hobby and a side business. My career is design.
It took me a while to figure this out and I think I have more clarity in my life becasue of it. Crocheting will always be there, like a comforting security blanket. But I need to put more energy in my design.
Along with changes to the topics in my blog, look for changes in my Etsy shop. Interior Design will be my main focus in all that I do. I would like to offer design news, advice and answer your questions. Please feel free to comment on my blog and ask my advice on projects. Also once I start at La-Z-Boy I will post my store location and invite all of you to come shop with me!
I am so happy right now I can hardly hold it in! I hope everyone finds what makes them happy!
Have a Wonderful Day!

Ethan Allen
After graduating college I started the wonderful task of job hunting. One of the first places I applied to was Ethan Allen. They are a fantastic interior design showroom and not only an amazing furniture store.
After giving them a couple weeks to look over my resume I finally got the courage to call and see what my status was. After a phone interview with the manager, she asked if she could see my portfolio! Soo I now have an interview on tuesday!
I'm soo excited! My first interview!
It feels so good getting over that hump! Before I called I bought a new suit from Macy's and afterwards I visited target and grabed a pair of heals I had been eyeing for a couple of months!
Tomorrow I am calling the manager of the gift shoppe that just openned and has booths available for local crafters. I hope it all works out for the best.
I'm on a high right now! I love the good days!
Hopefully while you read this some goodliness rubs off on you as well!
