Well I am back and ready to begin.....

I have some good news first my baby passed 5 A levels and is going to St Marys University in Twickenham to become a primary school teacher. She starts in a few weeks when Pope Benedict XVI is visiting at the same time, how good is that?

Here's my baby - 17 years ago!


Also before I left I entered a competition at the William Morris Gallery and when I got home there was a letter waiting for me announcing that they've accepted my piece as part of their Inspired by William Morris exhibition.

I am so pleased so if you are around please pop into William Morris gallery.

Here are a few pics with details.....


Also at long last I have finished my quilt - after just a little mishap in the in the middle of making it, accidentally loosing it and then finding it in the boot of my car underneath some material! But here it is in all its colourful glory!

Summer Fun Teaching.....

Just thought I would tell you about the lovely couple of days teaching I have had. The City and Guilds course is all finished now so I have been doing some fun summer schools before I go away to France.

The first was a bag making class I taught which was really fun and we had a lovely time. I even had a few students that I haven’t taught before which is always nice to have some new comers to this field.


I also taught a summer family day with children and their parents. It was a lot of fun with all different classes going on around the college, they even had some belly dancers!
There were 29 children in my session and their parents all printing on fabric and hand quilting to make pencil cases. Here are some of them with their creations……

It was really nice to hear how much they enjoyed themselves so it was a really successful day.




So that’s my teaching for this academic year as I am off to France on Monday for the summer and I can’t wait, as this will be the first summer holiday my husband and I have had on our own in 32 years! We are going for 5 weeks so hopefully we’ll still be talking by the end of it!! Although I will really miss Maisie and our kids I still can’t wait until Monday.
