I'm sorry to hear about your redundancy... but love your attitude. Those in my inner circle who have gone through similar circumstances have always found it to be an opportunity to mould a new beginning for themselves, and I hope the same will be so for you xpoppykettlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089242289854891320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253964350977142014.post-4902550128642880532018-11-25T19:24:43.449-08:002018-11-25T19:24:43.449-08:00I love this outfit.

Thank you for the information about the sweater, I actually would have assumed it would be too hard for me, but it sounds approachable after reading your description. It is so difficult in the moments when life makes big changes. I have noticed that the difficulties can become positive changes. I wish the best for you. Sewing really does help, doesn't it?

Now I have several pieces to make. <br />My husband was made redundant in 2000 from his FE college at the age of 55 due to ‘restructuring’. His tier was totally removed from the structure to save them lots of money. He was shell shocked, although he had said that nobody was safe from the chop, it was still a great blow to his confidence and made him very sad after all his years of hard work. He decided to go right back to basics and become a ‘normal’ class lecturer which meant revising his subject before teaching it after many years of senior management. We moved away from our son’s childhood home (along with 2 elderly relatives) but it was to the beautiful New Forest and he loved being in the classroom again. It all worked out well in the end although it was many years before he managed to put away the grief of rejection. I wish you well and hope that you manage to find something else which you can enjoy, maybe a complete change of direction is in the offing. Good luck.Jenny Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14174438668766147257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253964350977142014.post-66621803515590500382018-11-24T07:52:41.939-08:002018-11-24T07:52:41.939-08:00What a great outfit.
