Sewing for sprout

I am entering a challenge. The kids clothes week challenge taking place at Elsie Marley the second week of May. I really have to get my act together though because I still have work to do for my previous job at EFTA, due by the end of May THE LATEST. So, I’ll have to look through patterns, pick up supplies etc. while sprout is awake, and write some professional legal guidance on how to procure Fair Trade products while he sleeps. So, when will I actually sew? Err… let’s see how it’ll work out!

Back to work!

My maternity leave has officially come to an end… boo hoo!!!! Maternity leave in Belgium in up to 15 weeks, but one week MUST be taken BEFORE the birth or you lose it. Alex decided to make a grand entry the day before my maternity leave begun, so I was only entitled to 14 weeks. Oh well, it’s actually good to use my brain for things unrelated to poop, boobies and naps… oh, and crying 😉

Actually, I’m still at home full time, but working around 3 hours/day on my computer, with the occasional meeting at my place (last meeting agenda included welcome and cuddles with Alex… how cute!). That’s the beauty of working for a socially-minded oragnisation. I’ve taken part-time parental leave until end October to do this. The only glitch: Alex’s unpredictable humour. The sling is really a great help with this though. He naps and I work – win-win. For now at least!
