Yesterday was a brilliant and extraordinary day. It was a day that good things came in threes. It was the usual stuff to start with, school run and then paperwork to look forward to when I got back. On the way home I got a call. My CV had been passed around after I'd been accepted on a sessional teaching pool a couple of weeks ago. This lady was calling to see if I was interested in joining a team to teach in a secure mental health unit. Sounds really interesting so I'm off to meet them next week.
Then I got home and did loads of boring, but need to do stuff. A while later I got a call about another job teaching 16 - 19 yr olds. I'm telling you all this because the relief and joy that I feel is huge. I stop working on the project I'm on in two weeks and I've been worried sick to be honest about how we'll manage. Now I'm content and really excited about new things to come.
Now that's two fabulous things isn't it. The third thing is to do with my friend Ruth. I popped into her shop Glory Days, after lunch with my mum yesterday. We chatted over coffee and nibbled on easter eggs. I couldn't resist another rose ring for me and I bought a gift for my lovely man.
A while back Ruth asked me if I'd be interested in sitting making in her shop. Then we got thinking about holding crochet workshops. Yesterday she told me she's already got a few people really keen to get going so we needed to plan and set a date. I've been planning in my head today and I think we can get started pretty much straight away. With the teaching, workshops, selling at markets and running the Pick 'n' Mix I think I'm going to be pretty busy, but I feel really excited about mixing together all the things I love doing.
The gift I got for Mr Bun was this wee bear. He's been called Tango Tim. Once he joined the others by the bed he settled in pretty well. Now it seems the man who makes these gorgeous bears and beautiful rabbits wants to learn to crochet too.
At teatime tonight we made some Red Nose Critters to get us in the mood for tommorow. I've been volunteered as a cook in the morning to help bake cakes to sell after school. I guess I'd better wear my Red Nose if I'm to dress properly and be taken seriously.
Congratulations on all your good news! Its funny how things can work out. But phew you are going to be busy. But at least doing what you love to do. I wish you lots of luck and happy times.

ReplyDeleteTango Tim is great too I am making a crochet bear at the moment he looks a bit like Tango but his got nobody. I mean no body. I ran out of wool.
Hurray x 3! Well done you. The teaching projects sound really interesting. I teach smaller people and do wonder what lies ahead for many of them. Sounds like something you can really get your teeth into. Will you be working with Mr Bun?!

Lots of good things happening which is lovely. Crochet lessons sound a great idea, it's good to spread the word about fun things to do! I had hoped to pop in to see Ruth the other day when I was in Norwich but I ran out of time. I just love her shop!
