Busy Bee!

I have been a bad blogger! I haven't updated the blog quite as regularly as I had hoped So I thought I would start by giving you guys a brief update on whats been happening in my little world.

I returned home after working abroad and took up dressmaking again. I also Set up a craft blog called Amy's Attic.

                                             


We added to our family. Meet Bella, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She likes long walks round the village, playing with other dogs but hates the rain and new people! She is rather antisocial when it comes to humans!
                                     

I enjoyed a wonderful day in a local Spa and Hotel with my friend. I would definitely recommend a spa day to anyone who hasn't tried one! So relaxing!

I chopped my hair off! I always said I didn't suit short hair and I know that some people will say a shoulder length bob isn't short, but for me it was scary! I've always had long hair! But I love it, it's so easy to maintain!
                                           

We celebrated my first Christmas at home in a few years. As well as this we also had our very first Christmas dinner in our house! We normally go round other people's houses for Christmas dinner, but felt that after living in our house for 7 years, we should probably have Christmas dinner in it once! I made personalised crackers which turned out to be a giggle and a half.



I became a fan of adult colouring in books! There was a present war between my mum and friend, who was going to get me the Harry Potter colouring in book? Mum won!

And finally I celebrated Christmas and New Year with family and friends. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole affair. Happy New Year!

Now that I'm back in the blogging spirit I will be updating regularly with more random mumblings, findings, thoughts and reviews.

Amy's Attic

Happy New Year! So 2016 has begun and many of us have started our New Year's resolutions. Mine started a while back. I plan on sewing/crafting more, because everyone has their outlets that relaxes them, crafts are my outlet. Now we are going to flash back a few week ago *Imagine T.A.R.D.I.S sounds here*. A friend and I were spending the day being ladies of leisure at the local Spa and Hotel, I felt so posh, when I began discussing my recent creative projects. Well after a glass of champagne, pampering and the heat of the hot tub, my friend had said how she found it odd I hadn't started a blog, documenting my projects. Now in the weeks to follow this thought had lingered and after a New Years Bucket List discussion my friends set me the goal of setting up a blog, thus Amy's Attic was born! The inspiration for Amy's Attic began months ago when I got sick, or rather my mother got sick, of me using her dining room table as a sewing/craft space. I then ran an idea passed

12 weeks of this? Will I survive?

What do you do when you know you are in the right place but then being a grown up and the need for income gets in the way? I'm embarking on a new journey in my life and I'm taking the huge step back into teaching. I weighed up my options and realised the best way for me to get back into teaching was through a return to teaching course. Now I don't know if you've ever wandered the lonely halls of Google but there aren't that many return to teaching courses out there, especially ones that don't involve teaching in London...slight distance for me to travel from the North East and...well....you know it costs an arm and a leg to rent down in London so that was never going to happen. I had to weigh up whether I would get the experience I needed through general day to day supply (since I waiting 5 years to start my NQT year I can now only do HLTA or TA work so that kind of limits my chances) or if by some miracle I could get a course that allowed me chance to t

This is what having a life looks like!

So I've been complaining recently that I have no life. My life consists of waking up, going to work, getting in late, eat, sleep and repeat. Now I know, I know, most peoples lives are like this but I've never worked so much that my social life and general wellbeing has gone down the pan and my trip to London was the start of me seeing there is more to life than working. London was truly AMAZING! I love cities and I love London! The busy streets, the hustle and bustle of people shopping, commuting and touring. The truly amazing food from both lavish places and the quaint cafe's. The beautiful scenery and attractions. The list goes on. It is times like these that I realise how much I miss teaching abroad and having these types of experiences on my doorstep. My amazing time started with taking my mother down to London for her 50th birthday. We enjoyed a relaxed train journey, slightly stressful underground journey (my mother doesn't do crowds). When the room wasn'
