For Teacher

It is the last day if school tomorrow and Miss M will finish at 1pm for the summer holidays. I feel it has been a very quick school year somehow and I can't believe she has finished P2 and will begin P3 in the summer. My mum is right, time really does pass especially quickly with children, it seems to me that only yesterday she was a wee baby in my arms...

Anyway, this week we have been busy making a couple of little gifts for Miss M's teacher whom she has liked very very much...

A card handmade by Miss M. She made the little flower from Hama beads, glued it on to the front of the card (her own idea!) and wrote a very sweet message inside in her best handwriting...

 

We made a little appliquéd picture together. Miss M drew the picture onto Bondaweb and helped cut out the pieces, then I ironed it onto some calico fabric. She wrote 'Miss Robinson' on red felt (in her best bubble writing) and I cut the letters out for her as it was quite fiddly! She sewed around the picture and letters so carefully and finally painted the little hoop with some red paint from her paint box. I really think it looks very sweet!

She took so much time and care over both the card and the little picture - a special gift for a special teacher....
