Comments on: change is hard http://www.jenleheny.com/change-is-hard My almost daily crafty/sewing blog where I show and tell the things I have made and a little bit of what is happening in my life. I am a hoarder - of inspiration images, fabric, patterns, and crafting books. I live in Australia and I'm a work at home mum to three great kids. My indie boutique is at www.redinstead.com.au where you can see the things I make.

It's so ironic too, because I am a mother who has had to work full time since my son was 10 months old. I just (last week!) started up my blog, The Finer Things, in hopes to build it into an online shop selling my crafts and jewelry. I'm really researching how I can run a business from home and enter the lifestyle that you are exiting. I just wanted to reassure you that you will always find time to be creative. Though it may only be once the kids are asleep (haha), you will always still find your outlets. Good luck :) <em>Nicole's last blog post..<a href='http://thefinerthings.typepad.com/the_finer_things/2008/03/that-first-warm.html' rel="nofollow">That First Warm Day</a></em> I came across it while searching for collage and craft sites and couldn’t believe how much I relate to the exact situation you are presently in.

Sounds like a huge step for you, but at least there's definately work out there and you sound confident that you've get skills for it :) Put those kids to work on their chores ;) (though that might be more work than actually doing it yourself!) <em>Fiona's last blog post..<a href='http://littlelioness.net/2008/03/14/the-theory-is/' rel="nofollow">The Theory Is</a></em> Good luck with it all!

I hope you find something you like a lot so the transition will not be so hard. Running a house and working part time can be done- I did it for 9 years and found a lot of satisfaction in having something to do outside of the house. Good luck with your job search and subsequent adjustment period! It will be fun to see what you do. sarah <em>gwensmom's last blog post..<a href='http://gwensmom.livejournal.com/29559.html' rel="nofollow">March sewing</a></em> Wow you really do have big changes coming up and new things to get used to.
