Catch-up Crafting

On Tuesday evening this week Chris, Beth and I finally did something we've talked about for a while now. We got together, ate fish and chips, chatted on into the wee small hours and, oh yes, crafted.

 

An introduction to collage cards, an almost finished bear (with a very important first birthday deadline this weekend!) and far too much talking which meant that we didn't actually get an awful lot done but we certainly enjoyed ourselves and already have a plan for our next session.

Enjoy your weekend everyone.

Spring walks

Ah late spring how I love you. Not too hot, long evenings and light mornings, so lovely and such a great help with the long working hours being put in at work (and at home) as we head into moderation and summative assessment season, though I won't bore you too much with that now!

When almost everyone else seems to be settling themselves in for the night, as the heat of the day melts away to cooler evening and twilight lingers for such a long time we head out up the hill and wander. Along paths, through woods, up hill and down dale we walk without purpose or destination, just for the sheer joy of movement and space and air.

Wishing you all a wonderful start to your week.

Sound bags for school

Phew! What a speedy week it has been, with a visit from OfSTED to round it off (we don't officially know the verdict yet so I suppose I shouldn't say but I will admit it went far better than the previous one!). I thought I'd just post a quick entry to show you a little school crafting that took place over the Easter break.

I've been meaning to make some 'Sound sacks' for school for ages to keep resources for teaching Letters and Sounds and have finally got round to it! Now all we need to do is stock them up!
Enjoy the sunshine on this Bank Holiday weekend everyone.
