On a cushion of air...

I hope everyone had the best Christmas, as one year finishes another one starts and for me it is a new beginning. I was offered a job as a Reception teacher for 2012 and I took it, which meant I had to leave my job as a Children's Librarian....which happened all so very quickly.

So now thinking, golly what will my classroom need?......a 'Reading Corner' of course! Fortunately I had already started making up these quilt tops, which quickly turned into cushions, some are made using the lovely fabric called 'Ruby'.

Wishing everyone a terrific 2012!

Tart Making....Part.2.

Well...this afternoon the kids made another tart, this time its a freckle tart. My son wants to make a 'Jaffa' tart for his class party next week. Would love to hear other suggestions for toppings for another tart? What do you think?

Anyone started their Christmas Shopping yet?
