Wedding folder

So I'm going to be a matron of honour for my best friends wedding. I thought I'd start off my duties by making her a folder for all her wedding organising

Yellow wall, white walls

So the painting is now finished and these pictures won't do the awesome yellow colour any justice, because the real thing looks amazing! So pleased with how it looks. Now to move all my junk back in!

Harry at the beach

In the last weekend of January, we took Harry to the beach for the first time. The first time was at a beach with quite large waves and the second time was at a calmer beach. He seemed to be really only interested in eating the sand!   

   

New Cupboards

Also during the new year period, preventing me from beginning any sewing, we had some new cupboards installed. What used to be a room that was once converted into a passage way due to extensions out the back before we moved in, has now been made into floor to ceiling cupboards along one wall and a study/sewing nook for me :)

Classroom displays

WOW! I've been out of action for a while because so many other things have been happening. Mostly I've been getting ready to go back to school. I haven't worked since June last year after having Harry and getting back into it was a hard slog, but I got there in the end. Check out some of the displays that I put up in my classroom. I'm job sharing with a gorgeous teacher and only working 2 days a week which will save me lots of time to make dollies!! YEAY

 Our through line for the whole school this year is 'Be Inspired'. So one night while I was watching the tennis, I was inspired until 12.30am cutting out laminated sheets of paper to create a heading for our classroom.

 Here's what it looks like on the wall at school

                                                                      Maths Wall

                                                                          Our Door

                                                          Info Board next to our door

 As we are feeling inspired this year, I thought a great motto was "Kid you'll move mountains", which is from the Dr.Seuss book, 'Oh, the places you'll go'. So for our class display, we decided to show ourselves moving mountains. The kids had a ripper time drawing themselves pretending to push, pull or carry the mountain.

A little peak into my classroom, where I've hung paper lanterns and fans. There is also another bunch over in to the far right to balance it out.
