🏆 FACT YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ME
My first award wasn't for admin.
It was Cross Stitcher of the Year 2005.
This photo was taken when I received the award, and looking back now, it feels like a lifetime ago.
What started as a hobby turned into something much bigger. After winning, I went on to become a model stitcher for projects featured in Cross Stitcher and Cross Stitch Quick & Easy magazines.
People often ask where my attention to detail comes from. The truth is, I've always enjoyed things that require patience, organisation and precision.
Whether it was following a cross stitch pattern back then or helping clients stay organised today, those skills have never really left me.
It's funny how the things we enjoy can shape our future in ways we never expect.
I'd love to know...
What's a hobby or interest you've had that ended up helping you later in life?
