Tea Time

Hello.
Can't believe I haven't been on here for nearly a month! Actually, I can.
Work has taken over lately and I only have 2 rubbish pictures to show for it. The school where I work is preparing for its annual year 6 production. This year it is Wind in the Willows.
This is the tea set I made for Badger but I have lots more to show you if I can ever remember to take my camera to work!

Morten sends his best xx

Tales from a Bean Bag

Soren brought his bean bag downstairs and has watched Olympics aplenty!
While we were out of the room we heard the rustle of beans and found that Morten has taken quite a shine to it! He was busy launching himself at it and then wriggling to get comfy.

I have been in school this week starting a large display. I still have a lot to do but I will have a break for a few days now. I had an early start today and was at work for 7.30am and now I am pooped! Feet up with a brew and Olympic swimming :)

We have friends coming for a meal tomorrow night so another busy day cooking and cleaning. I am trying out a Delia vegetarian lasagne. Hope it is nice and easy!

Rush!

Morning!

First day of the holidays and my boy is up at 6.30!!??
Why do they do that? He has to be dragged out of bed every other day!

Bit of a mixture of photos of the last few days which have been a bit of an emotional blur. Maisy finished primary school and went to a party to celebrate. She had a new short hair cut too (very brave).

I baked cakes for us in the staff room to have our own little party but tonight we are having a proper do for my lovely friend who retired.

Now I am forcing Soren to come to Happy Valley (a lovely walk nearby) with Morten. After all he has been playing FIFA since the crack of dawn! (that is the boy, not Morten!)

School work!

As it was the first day back to school today, I needed to finish the summer entrance hall display.

4 times a year we change the display to correspond with the seasons.

I used one of my many biscuit photocopies for the ants to feast on!

Bugs

I have been painting more leaves, bees and ants for the school display. I cut out hundreds of leaves but still have to laminate them as they will be in the entrance of school and need to be durable. Why is laminating so painfully slow!

I love my Ikea tins. I never noticed how they match my old Habitat mug. I am hoping to go and pick up a few things at Ikea tomorrow. On my list is a frame for my lion print, throws and the obligatory bag of tea lights!

(I did give Morten a biscuit!)
