It has a been a long time, just over two years since I last
posted. A lot has happened. My health is
up and down and with working full time, it meant I did not do as much sewing as
possible. I also signed up for open university, do a degree in Business and
Management over six years, which I have just about completed year two.
Number of things happened, we lost my wonderful mother in
law unexpectedly last year, and as you may have gathered my son was so close to
her, which he is still struggling to deal with. He also started school last
year, which was an also big change for him. He has bloomed at school though
despite things, and now enters primary two in August. My baby is growing up,
and hopefully he will come to terms with his granny’s death soon. We did buy some books which have helped,
although one does talk about going to sleep and not waking up, so we just skip
that part just in case it causes problems, but as my son is learning to read, I
am sure we can’t ignore it for long!!
I am now the proud owner of an embroidery machine, which I
love! Made two items, which I love, and can’t wait to expand and make the
sewing more interesting. I have started
making pillow beds and have an idea to sew a skull design on one of them in
glow in the dark thread! Ohh can’t wait.
I have also started making pillow case beds which are
fantastic, and they are selling well. They make great guest beds and can be
folded and stored away easily. They are
made with brand new pillowcases, and just recently sewn up some brushed cotton starry
fabric, looks fab. The ideas I have are
amazing.
On the job front, still in the same job, but hoping to move
to part time and promotion soon! There
will also be a house move next year for us, with a hope I can get a sewing
room! Have seen some houses that have sheds that have been converted for use,
it would be fab if we could get a house like that or an attic room.
At the moment we are on holiday, at a wonderful place in
Ashington, just outside of Newcastle. Hoping the weather holds, and hope to make a trip to Newcastle and Newcastle football ground!
Toy making also stalled, but again hoping to get back into, also getting back into making cards again and got a go press and foil machine, as well as a todo, so have been buying dies (shhh don't tell anybody!!)
Happy holidays
Kay
