made in england

I love baking, and I love my home. I'm having a hard time resisting buying one of these.

hello 2008

Well hello there. I feel almost as though I've been hibernating these past nine days. A long trip along the South West Coast of England - I'd love to say that I've pleased to be back, but the prospect of the work ahead is daunting. Still, it is nice to be in my own home again... and of course I'll have to make sure well-planned craft breaks are included for my own sanity. Any other teachers (trainee or otherwise) out there find the workload a little overwhelming?

Anyway, moving on to my first link of the season - felt it was only right to include something seasonal, so here is The Wild Unknown's 'Webs and butterflies' calendar. Although I am completely terrified of spiders I find the drawing of the web so beautiful, and the music quotes only add to their appeal.
