We've been thinking about the end of the school year and looking forward to a new chapter in our eldest daughter's life as she starts school proper in reception in September. She has spent the last school year in a school nursery so I am hopeful that the transition to full time school won't be too much of a shock for her. Unfortunately she is going to be at a new school rather than staying on where she is now. Something that brings its own anxieties, though more for us than her I feel!
So this week I've been looking into presents for the teacher. I don't ever recall doing this myself so it must be a new thing. It's quite a nice idea really. But it does get the brain working. ..what on earth do you buy them that hasn't all ready been done? I suppose the simplest answer is something handmade. I was therefore quite pleased to be directed to an article in the Guardian about crocheted apple cosies. (Unfortunately the link is not active now so I can't pass it on) and I thought it was something quirky and different and plays on the old giving the teacher an apple tradition. So thats what they are getting :)
I've spent a bit of time behind the sewing machine too and I'm hoping to have something to share with you from that soon. Its not quite finished yet and my sewing time is limited.
I'm off to bake a cake now to take into work tomorrow when i visit (I'm sure they are missing their regular Herman cake while I'm not there!) but I will leave you with the link for Wendy's blog hop for
handmade Monday
Til next time!

Oooohhhh, Herman Cake! I've not had one for ages - I must try and do something about that!
I too have been thinking about end of term pressies - there just seems to be so many people to include!!
End of term pressies are always difficult to either make or find, and I love your apple cosy. A really lovely idea. Hope you have a good week.
Presents for teachers seem to be required these days - I think my teachers were just pleased to not see me for a while!!
The apple cosy looks a great idea :)
As a former Nursery teacher I can tell you that I would have loved a thoughtfully handmade gift. Although I never expected a gift from anyone, I was always delighted and grateful for any I did receive.
