Showing off the egg-cellent earrings a gorgeous student got me for Christmas in 23.

Here's an ace #buyastrangerabook day offer.

If only I could maintain day one energy levels all term... #Education #PrimaryEd #Term2

A small, circular cross stitch of a pigeon poking his head out the top of a Jack O Lantern

One of my students designed me a pattern of a pigeon (named Migeon) in a pumpkin so if course I had to stitch him! Will put him up this week and send it home with the designer at the end of term. #Cross-stitch #Embroidery #Art #Crafts #PrimaryEd #Halloween #Pumpkin #Pigeon

Faebound by Saara El-Arifi - been waiting for a library copy since reading her amazing Ending Fire trilogy.

Sherman's commitment to the bit is *chef's kiss*

Rosie poses in a mirror selfie with orange corduroy trousers- avec whiteboard pen stain - a corduroy white shirt and a grey knit waistcoat.

Back to work today and feeling much better - really solidifies that I love my job (while recognising its many shortcomings). Sponsored by my lesbian art teacher vibes. #Teaching #MentalHealth #PrimaryEd

This really shouldn’t need saying AGAIN, but FFS every Jew is not responsible for this Israeli government. Treating them as if they are is vile. Solidarity with the UK Jewish community who must be feeling very vulnerable.

An irregular hexagon with the message 'it's worse inside your head' with 6 stars around it.

Off this week with shit mental health. Timely reminder made in air dry clay. #clay #ceramic #pottery

Been hand building this beauty - not bad for a first project! Looking forward to doing some smaller projects while the beast is drying. Also need to decide on glazing #pottery #ceramics #handbuild #clay #craft

It is possible to cherish the BBC as an institution while also saying that BBC News is failing very badly, day after day, in its duty to inform and that it always fails in a right-wing direction. It desperately needs to recover its integrity

The aftermath. This is an intervention. #CatsOfBlueSky #Cats #Tortoiseshell #crime #intervention #addict

The scene of the crime... the second great catnip heist...

Molly - a tortoiseshell cat - rolled up in a blue blanket. A real Purrito

Mine will shout at me to come and nap with her - or to escort her to her litter for moral support

Fantasy Life i is fab - a chill mix of Zelda and Stardew - exactly the right mix of stressfree adventure that isn't TOO easy!

Molly - a tortoiseshell cat - is curled up on a towel with her face squished onto it.

One of my favourite genres...

Molly- a tortoiseshell cat - sits by a cheese wedge door stop in front of a closed door looking perplexed.

Miss Molly attacked the cheese shaped door stop. Then the door closed. There is clearly no connection between these events...

"THE BIG GREEN BOOKS 500 CLUB"

It's a thing where i'm trying to start regularly sending £500 of books to a school who needs them.

It costs just £1 a week.

I know it'll take time, but we're getting there!

Here's the plan.

Thanks.

The Priory of the Orange Tree is fantastic! Such a rich story 🍊

A large amount of embroidery skiens sorted vaguely by colour.

The skeins packed in an old chocolate box (Ferrero Rocher) with odd bits of thread in small plastic bags in colour groups on top.

Devon charity shops have been EXCELLENT for thread! Had to resort the stash I brought down with me- I'd say about a quarter of this is probably new - mostly at 50p per skein. #Embroidery #Cross-stitch #Crafting #Thread #Floss #Devon #Charity

The crafting continues with a wheel taster session! Had a fabulous time and made something that is recognisable as pottery! #Pottery #Crafting

A small cross-stitch hoop with a brightly coloured Kingfisher stitched on. It is very pixilated as there is no back stitch yet.

The same kingfisher cross-stitch with black, white, blue and orange outlining and detailing done in backstitch. This has reduced the pixilated effect massively.

What a difference backstitch makes! #Cross-stitch #Sewing #Embroidery #Birds #Kingfisher

A cross-stitch paper origami crane in various shades of green. There is an off centre square around the crane and it is in a small embroidery hoop.

Really pleased with how this origami crane turned out 💚 it's an anniversary gift for my girlfriend - first year is paper!

Finally reached the end of the year! Said goodbye to a truly fabulous group of kids... not sure if my #Chicken love was noticeable... (Wilbur is our class mascot... a toy chicken...) #primary #Summer

Do you sell your patterns somewhere? I love this one

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride.

However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
