Happy Dance................

I have been totally distracted for the past few weeks with an application for a promotions position. It has virtually consumed my every waking moment ~ I really wanted this position.
Fast forward to 10.30am today ~ the interview!! It went well, I felt good and came to the conclusion that if I was unsuccessful, I had done everything possible and I had nothing else to give.
Finally at 2.30pm I was put out of my misery and formally offered the position, which I of course, accepted. 
My fancy new title is Head Teacher ~ Teaching and Learninig!!
I was so excited, now tonight I am exhausted and so ready for a long sleep!!
I haven't touched a doll in over 2 weeks, don't think I have been in my studio for longer than a few minutes in the past couple of weeks.
Normal programming will resume tomorrow,
Studio here I come!!

Been sidetracked......................

by this little fellow
I don't make many bears these days, but I have a long time friend who has purchased a bear for each of her grandchildren. The birth of the next grandchild is imminent.
So, here he is in all of his finery, ready for the flight to England next week

Also been working on a CV, that's now finished and I have made it to interview later this week.
Would like to hope that I might resume normal programming with my dolls etc, but think I might be just a little bit distracted until the whole interview process is over.
Wish me luck!!!

Whoa..................

slow down!! Can't believe we have been back at school for 2 weeks already. Been so busy that I haven't loaded the Daybook covers I made for my colleague, the gorgeous Jodie:

Think I like these more than the ones i made for me.
Jode was thrilled with the result.

Had a lovely day yesterday with Jode and her  daughter Rose. We went to Tuggerah to do the shopping for our textile classes, folled by a yummy lunch and a spot of shopping ~ perfect!!
Currently working on a mohair bear for a long time friend to take to her grand daughter in the UK later this month. Photos to come this week.
