Betsy'S Bags

HELLOOOOOOO, is there anyone out there? I am so sorry for the complete silenceI haven't fallen down a hole or off the planet, promise x
I am here and all is well, in fact it is rather marvellous ❤️. I went back to work full time in September. As many of you know, I work in Reception Class and at the end of June I started on the journey to become a Forest School Leader. Over the Summer I was busy being Mummy to my little people and turning a jungle into a amazing space to sh...are with the children at school during our Forest School Sessions. I have been flat out getting it to a useable space and planning for our first few sessions. They have gone really well and I am LOVING every second of it. It is such an incredible experience x
So, I hear you say, what about Betsy? Well she is still here and I am working to see how she can continue in these times of change. For now, I will be working on my framed purses and a couple of bag commissions. I will try to get a Market Night organised in time for that event in December x x until then, if you would like purses, please do message. I have just received an order of frames x it will be lovely to get back behind the machine. Love Betsy x x

Hello all, hope you are all enjoying the summer x x we have flown off for a little break in the sun☺ will be back very soon x x

Well, today I have been mostly been clearing a jungle, well actually it is going to be our Forest School site at school. I am SO excited at the fantastic little areas I have unearthed today and can't wait to hear the sound of little people exploring, building dens but most of all having fun whilst learning.
What has your day involved?

Now, This could be exciting. As we all know, even though we like a page, it does not mean it will automatically show in your newsfeed.
BUT a new feature has been added. On laptops/computers, if you go to the "Liked" there is a tab which states "See First". Tick this and you will see new posts
On a mobile device, go to personal settings, at the bottom is "newsfeed preferences". Click on it and there is an option to "prioritise who to see first". If not, click the 'following' b...utton and see 'see first' option there too.
Yeah, hopefully you will then see all posts, not just a couple!
Please would you give it a go and let me know if it works? X

Hello, yes I am still here. So very sorry about the utter silence over the last couple of weeks - it has been hectic! There has been so much going on, on the home, family & work front.
My little Pickle has turned 6! Where does the time go? It seems only yesterday she came into our world.
I have accepted full time at school, how exciting, I get to spend everyday alongside little people watching the grow, how wonderful. I am also busy studying to complete my Forest School Le...ader Training and setting up the site ready for September.
What about Betsy? I hear you shout, panic not, she is still here, In fact I am just about to start sewing again, seems such a long time since I did (apart from the bunting I made for my daughters party bags). Things will have to change with BETSY, just due to not having enough hours in the day! I am looking at having a monthly order book with weekly slots and maybe a monthly/bimonthly market nights.
Here are some beautiful flowers to make up for being so quiet x x Love Betsy x x

Morning all, I am back from my week in the Forest. What an incredible week it was, never has training been so amazing. I got to spend my days in a stunning places with wonderful likeminded people. Now the hard bit begins, I have a large portfolio to complete and skills to practice before I go back in February for a week of assessments. Then, (fingers crossed) I will be a Forest School Leader and can share the magic of it all with the children.
So, what about Betsy? I hear you say, well she isn't going anywhere just yet, but things will be quieter. Between being Mummy, working and now studying, I will have less hours. But, please don't hesitate to get in touch and I will do my very best x x
Here is a picture of where I spent my week, taken by one of the ladies on the course with me - stunning, isn't it ?
