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.

Moving to Warsaw!

So I've moved to Warsaw! In the middle of a pandemic. Call it escapism, call it ballsy or even slightly idiotic but I left England behind to move to Poland.  5.5 years after vowing I was sticking to teaching in the UK, I decided life is too short to have a job that doesn't give you that all important work life balance. The life that we all seek, being able to travel or see new things but also earn a living doing something we love. I love teaching but working in the UK, I rarely got time to breathe let alone travel....so off I popped on a plane and well here I am. I waited a few weeks (15 weeks to be precise) before writing about moving. I wanted to wait as, this year isn't just any year, its 2020. Now I know you might hate that phrase, it's 2020, but it is the best description to encompass the chaos that has been this year without going down the negative route. This year has been crazy. SO when I moved here, I didn't know how it would pan out. Would it be like Mosco...

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...

Back into my Sewing Mojo!

So I have recently embarked on a Minerva Crafts monthly sewing project. I needed something to give me a kick up the backside and this certainly did that. Go on over to Minerva Crafts for a looks at my review of the Vogue 9238 Cold Shoulder Top. My trip to London saw me buying illustration provisions and...well this happened! More practice is definitely needed on my croquis and I can see me investing in some illustration pens as my standard pencils just were cutting it. Kind of in love with my new top even if it does make me feel like a diet is on the horizon. Sewing Mojo is back and I've already got a new project on the way! It's going to be a toughie!
