More time on my hands!

Well we have com to the end of the first week back at school. Back the mad rush in the mornings to get the kids out of the door.

This term was the strat of some new hours at my daughters kindy. Instead of 5 mornings she is now doing 3 full days. She was so excited that she got to have lunch at kindy!!!! It has been lovely for me too- I have found that I get so much more done with my day- weather it be the house work or crochet or going shopping or for coffee- i'm loving it. Only have to wait until December before I will have both girls at school!!!!!

I finished an accounting course I was doing just before the holidays and last week got my results which i was quite happy with. I know have to have a serious think about what I want to do next- accounting is not for me- although I caould do it I didn't particularly enjoy it- as with most things really- I could always do my work and studies well at school but never really found my pasion.

I love my crochet, and hoping when I get around to it I will also love sewing but I am not really likely to make a carreer and money out of either. With all the extra time I will have on my hands when both girls are at school it will be time to join the real world and think about a job/carreer for the future- I want to do a degree but it is proving very difficult deciding which one to do.

I will keep you posted when I decide!!!!!

Hope you are all enjoying the weekend- we have some lovely weather here in Wellington today.

I survived the school holidays!

How about the rest of you?

I always have mixed feelings about the school holidays. I love that I don't have to rush around in the morning and chase the kids around to get to school and kindy. I love that I get to spend more time with my girls but I always struggle finding things to do to keep them occupied- especially if the weather isn't too great.

Well with a few playdates for the girls, a trip to the movies and lots of beads for jewellary making the kids were pretty happy. The downer of the holidays was that we got burggled!! That wasn't a very nice experience. It's such an awful feeling too- you don't want to stay home and be reminded of it but then you don't want to go out and leave the house empty. We are getting there though. Luckily no damage done and everything that was taken can be replaced. One advantage of being married to an IT geek is that everything on my laptop was backed up.

Anyway I best get on and get some jobs done. Hoping to get back into the crochet with the kids back at school and kindy next week. Kindy is also on new hours for my youngest so she will be doing 3 full days instead of 5 mornings- that is going to be great for both me and her.

Bye for now- hope you all have a great weekend.
Beth

New Family Member

Well after getting some custom orders out of the way I managed to find some time to design a new member of the Crochet by Beth family.

I have had this little friend in my head for a while and was anxious about how it would turn out. Well I had nothing to worry about. I am in love with my new cheeky little pal.

Yes I have designed a monkey!!!

I know my bunnies are super cute but I figured that for those who aren't too keen on bunnies I didn't really have another option. Also I think the monkeys will be a bit more boy friendly than a cute and pretty bunny.

There are other animals I would like to try and design in the future but for now I hope you like the monkeys.
