Much has happened in the last year, as is life I suppose. I'm now a stay at home Mum (I won't use the term full-time mum because I think whether you work or don't, mums are full time - period). I'm enjoying myself - I can't deny that; although I do miss the classroom, the sharing of ideas, skills, the "bouncing around" of ideas, the days when a student shows you a piece of work and you just think "wow"…
However, one of the things I'd promised myself I would do is invest more time and effort into my freelance work. It's always ticked over quite nicely alongside my teaching so it seemed pretty straightforward that now I have more time, doing my freelance design/making would be a piece of cake right?! Wrong! I've been completely at a loose end recently, wondering how to get started again - and I think that all of my pondering and over thinking has just stopped me dead in my tracks.
…so I did the totally sensible thing and booked myself a table at the Christmas selling event at my sons school (details to follow) which promises to be a lovely shopping evening…nothing like a deadline to make me get started! So here's to starting over - again; trying to blog a little more often, create, design and hopefully indulge in keeping a sketchbook again (that means actually filling them for those who know me…not just buying beautiful sketchbooks for them to remain stacked up looking lovely and er totally blank)
