2009 has come around surprisingly fast considering 2008 was only one day longer than the previous three years! Work with the Leadership Foundation for Higher Education precedes apace, and what little free time I have is spent catching up on craft projects.
This year on the work front I'll be consolidating my contacts with HEIs in Scotland, running some additional Scotland specific events and supporting colleagues elsewhere in the country to deliver programmes within their consituencies.
At home, and in those wee small hours of leisure I'll be knitting and quilting as usual. Socks are definitely my thing at the moment and notwithstanding the 50 pairs I have already made am busy finding new patterns, yarns and processes to keep the knitting interesting. I have a charm quilt on the frame at the moment, and a Christmas crazy quilt on the design wall. This year I also hope to complete one of the quilts promised to the sisters.
Unusually I am also planning to take a holiday - instead of a visit to a relative, this time I plan an archeological tour of the Aegean with my friend and mentor, Sally. As someone who is absolutely not a holiday taker, this is a bit of a change for me -- may be it comes from spending so much time in my home office!
About Me
- The Sock Lady
- I'm Ginnie Willis and in 1992 I moved to Scotland to work in the Higher Education sector. I have worked at the Universities of Aberdeen and Stirling, and at the Leadership Foundation for Higher Education. After 18 months as a freelance leadership and organisational developer I've retired and now look forward to becoming more creative and building my skills in various craft areas. I own two cats (or more correctly, they own me) and now I've stopped working and travelling around the UK for work, I'll be spending my time knitting socks, making quilts and tinkering in a small garden if the weather is good.
