Perspective

Thank you to all of you that took the trouble to comment and leave your wise words in response to my dilemma. Sometimes the simple act of articulating a problem makes the answer leap out, and sometimes we need a little nudge in the right direction to see the blooming obvious. 

Small smalls and big sea

I have decided that for the time being I am going to make a few things for my Mum's market stall, which is partly to support her and partly to keep a tiny toe in the water, and apart from that I am going to make things for the love of it.

Big ice cream and small life belt?

 I am going to finish sorting out the unpacking and work on my house.

I may not be making money, but I will be saving it by not spending it on tradespeople unless absolutely necessary, and by making gifts rather than buying them.

Smallest small and biggest ice cream

I won't be clock watching and penny pinching over every make, I will be doing what I love.

Not quite knees

 In the future I may well explore the teaching route more fully, but I will try to stop worrying about missing the boat, and needing to do everything immediately if not sooner.

So, having found some perspective, I have made something I am super-pleased with, but it is a gift so you will have to wait until after the event to see...

I did so enjoy making it. Just because I wanted to.

Three foot prints...

Still not sure I know What I Want To Be When I Grow Up, but I have crossed a possibility off the list, at least for now.
