New Start

It's been almost a week since it happened, but I couldn't let it go by completely without saying something. Back in November last year Mum made a very tough decision to leave her job. It had gotten to the point where she was at work for more hours of the week than she was at home or asleep. It was extremely demanding and she was no longer gaining anything from it. It wasn't a decision she took lightly, but she knew she couldn't continue any longer. Since then she's been at home with crafting alongside me whilst searching for something new that would be both rewarding and interesting. 

Mum started that very job this week. I won't tell you where it is, but I will tell you she'll now be crafting not only at home, but also at work!! I know, how lucky is she!! Since Monday all she's talked about is work!! The past few months have not been the easiest on her, mainly cos she's had a lot of self doubt that and lost a lot of confidence due to her last job. So you can imagine how relieved we all are to see her back to her old self again ... the same amazingly talented, clever and funny Mum she's always been. 

Mum's new employers even set her a challenge on her first day. She was given a blank book to keep all her notes, achievements and general work stuff in and told to decorate it!! She wasn't given a date it had to be done by, nor was she told it had to be done immediately, but Mum being Mum the same night she was given it, she did this... 

See! I told you she was clever!! It's amazing what some paper, ribbons, elastic, felt, beads and a bit of sticky back plastic can do!!
