Scatterbrain

This week has been weird and busy-I might even say pressured-hence the title-this is how my brain feels! Good things have come out of it though. Ofsted was ok (my part of the school-the early years-didn't get observed as we were ok last time(last November)) The rest of the school has been judged as making 'satisfactory improvement' which in normal speak is fine. Thanks for wishing us well on here-I think it helped! This is Candace, my friend from the internet who I met tonight in real life. She is lovely and I was so pleased we managed to get together. I look forward to future meetings Candace!

This is a little glimpse of my yule swap.

These are my next two dolls-as I said before, I have no control-they come out as they come out!

The one with the red eyes was the result of me forgetting I had bought some eyes and so ripping it open to add them after having already stuffed it. The stuffing spilled out and I could not repair it properly. It looks like an old lady and I quite like that. Will paint it soon and see what happens.

The delightful and colourful mess that me and the children make when we are colour mixing with powder paints. They love it. I love it. Boys who never normally paint love it!

The work of the amazing Britney in nursery-she does paper dolls and no one has ever told her how . I love watching her work-she uses materials really imaginatively-I would love to see what she is coming up with in 20 years time if this is what she can do now.

A picture from this great book. This is for Steven to have a glimpse of the interior of Gambardella's as mentioned previously.This is a cafe I have been to on City Road in London. I liked the picture as it reminded me of that Edward Hopper painting of the diner at night. My cafe-obviously.
