'morning chickadees.......
i know it has been AGES since my last post but i feel my mojo coming back so watch out :)
june was an absolutely crappy month on a personal level but some life changing decisions have been made.....
i have been nursing for over thirty years and for most of that time i have been absolutely passionate about it....but...over the last few years i have noticed that we are moving further away from the patient and closer to being paper shufflers..... and.... I D.O.N.'T. L.I.K.E. I.T...... a family tragedy in early june really brought it all home to me....and...i have ditched my job....and...you know what??....i feel GREAT!
as you know i built a shed about four years ago for my sewing room...and i share it every thursday with a wonderful bunch of local ladies....and we have the occasional weekend workshop.......so....i have decided to increase the hours i spend in the shed and have it open to the public on more days.....exciting stuff....i won't be retailing fabric as we already have a great local patchwork shop.....but i plan to have workshops, retreats and general information exchanging.....hopefully not restricted to patchwork but encompassing other crafts as well....eg knitting, crochet, cardmaking etc....
this is where you come in....i need some help with some ideas....what would you like to do in a workshop?...how far would you travel?.....to a country town in northwest nsw?...........with good local motel accommodation and lots of tourist attractions?......to stitch in a shed on a rural block just 6ks out of town?.......please let me know....i aim to please :)
'til next time, take care and be kind to each other.....

Hi, i have followed a link from jellywares. What a big decision you have made! Sounds great though, I cant really offer an opinion about sewing workshops yet, its all to new to me :) Goodluck!

Lzi it is great to hear you are getting your mojo back, I for one would happily travel to your shed but probably not until next year.
