Becky the entrepreneur!

Not sure where to put this, I had intended for this to become a geographical area blog, but I suppose our family is part of this geography!

Since Christmas we have been looking at ways to bring in a bit of extra cash. We had explored one avenue, but that was closed to us, so I thought that rather than go and stack shelves at the local supermarket, I'd try and make things out of wood to sell. I have sold a few things before, but never committed to it as a business.

This week I have been ringing round and checking the legal implications and all seems ok. Yesterday was the first day I could get on and I woke up feeling awful!

Also yesterday, Becky came down saying she really wanted to make some money. Apparently as she was going to sleep she had a brain wave of selling some of her hand made cards. Last night her God father came round to see us. Becky wasted no time in asking him whether he had any birthdays coming up that he had to buy cards for! She then agreed the sale price disappeared upstairs and made the cards!

In' it marvelous! I spend ages planning and checking and she turns up and makes some money just like that!

I am pleased because it is part of the anonymous home ed philosophy that children should be able to explore what they want to.

I already have a customer for my first order, but, as I say, I haven't been able to get in the workshop. I tried to get a couple of bits done yesterday but, whatever I thought in my mind I should do to do it right, I did the opposite in a n absent minded way and thought this is getting me nowhere!

(In writing this post I have realised that I have been frequently using the wrong spelling of two words! waist instead of waste and all so instead of also. Thank you for your patience! Or is that Patients?!)
