Stuff My Class Says

I currently work as a teaching assistant in a year 3 class and as a playworker at a pre-school.
The things the kids say highly amuse me.

  • "Can we put all these books in the bin Miss? They're DISGUSTING!" - A year 3 students reaction upon finding out the words 'sex' and 'bottom' are listed in the dictionary.
  • "If a monster comes into my room and goes 'RAWR', I get out my sword and put him in the bin! He cant get out without a key!" - A 3 yr old talking about bedtime.
  • "An alien married a house, then a dolphin married the same house, then they both went into a tornado and died." - Yr 3 English assignment.

FINISHED!

After a good few hours of work, he's finally all finished.
Here is my little Dia Des Muertos bear:


Like i said, this one is a Christmas present for someone, but im right in the middle of another one too which will be up for sale in the next day or so.
They're so much fun to make though! I hope they sell so i can make many more ^_^

dia des muertos


i wonder what i could be making right now.....


There are two of these bad boys in progress right now.
One is for a Christmas present which im going to be reluctant to give away and the other one will either appear in the shop or stay with me....depending on if i love it too much.....

i've been busy-busy-busy over the past few weeks.
It seems i came back to online selling just in time for the Christmas rush and my earmuffs have been rather popular ^_^
This is happy times indeed!

Four pairs of earmuff monster for orders.

I've also made some super cute soot sprite earmuffs which are now up for sale over at my etsy shop and folksy too! And im in the middle of making a pair of sugar skull ones too.

Im hoping to take part in a craft fair early next year - maybe sharing the stall with a friend.
Im rather enjoying being so busy!
