Funny how people make a fuss of New Years Day, for me it is like any other (I am sat here writing this before going to work). Many people reflect on the past year and what is to come in the next. So for once I am going to look back over the year.
It was great.
I got my PTTLS teaching certificate, then literally walked into a teaching job. I had an operation I was really waiting for and my health has improved. But on the negative side, I lost two people dear to me. My husband's mum Joan Jakins passed away suddenly in June, then my Nannan Florence White passed away peacefully. I am missing both of them very much.
But my confidence in my sewing is reaching new heights. Teaching people has made me realise just how much I know and how skilled I am. I also take the greatest pleasure in seeing just the minutest achievement of my students. But I am wanting to learn more for myself as well.
What am I looking forward to this year? Lots and everything, as I have achieved so much in one year I will not be surprised on how much I can achieve in the next. I am putting studies to the back burner for now and hope to take my Cert Ed in 2016, but I will be going for day classes in sewing, trousers are my nemesis. There will be lots more teaching. A trip to India to organise (not for sewing, but I will buy lots of material there), this is to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary and both of us reaching 50 years of age. Both of these, I think, are huge milestones.
Have I done any sewing in the last 2 weeks? No. But I will be getting back there in the next week.
Thank you for reading my blog and hope to write more in the New Year.
Happy Sewing and a Happy New Year to you.
