It was a year of change for our little family. Bear started school, which was exciting and challenging. Beanie took on an extra day of daycare and flourished, as I took on an extra day of work and floundered before finding my feet. We moved house and got a new car. REG got a new, old boss - ironically a former boss from London is now leading his organisation.
For a while there with so much else going on the crafting, making and sewing took a back seat. It came back with a vengeance in the latter part of the year as I signed up for my first ever craft market selling hand made goodies at a Christmas mini-market at Bear's school - an experience that was terrifying and rewarding in equal measure. Mostly it taught me that if I set a deadline and have a clear goal I can make the time to achieve whatever I set my mind to.
