Almost there.....

Friday tomorrow, and I have survived the week :) It's been hard though, teaching 3 hours of maths a day means I have had to be creative in a different way, to prevent me boring the kids to death!
Last time I went to the NEC I picked up a hot rhinestone applicator, after all, why just be interested in one craft when dozens will do! The girls had had their beady eyes on it for a while, and we got round to playing bling, as they 'Gok'ed' some items a week or so ago. Katie finished a crown design onto a plain T shirt, and amazingly enough they do survive a cool wash if stuck down properly. Wonder how many gems I've got left now.....


and the finished article looks like this.......

A crafty weekend ahead, teaching on Sunday, and just doing my own thing at the Bedworth 'Crafternoon' on Saturday.... Oh, and Hannah is home for the summer :)

My goodness! Doesn't time go swiftly. It doesn't seem like five minutes since you were waving goodbye to her as she went off to Uni.

WTG on surviving the week Ann! I used to have the opposite problem - teaching the same lessons to 4 Year 8 classes (they had 3 lessons per week each!).
Loving the rhinestones - Katie did well. :)
And so nice for you to have Hannah home. DS has one more exam to go on 24th. Doubt we'll see much of him though..girlfriend lives in Kent and they're off to Serbia for a music festival. :(
Hugs xx

Probably not many gems, but hey, very worth it. I bought one some time ago and discovered that I'm not patient enough! I'm sure your students have really enjoyed your week, have a super weekend.
