It's my last day at school on Monday so I have spent the weekend sorting out my room ........This was part of a costume made for Southampton carnival about 5 yrs ago .....we had an artist who makes costumes for Notting Hill Carnivale ......we had a week to make about 20 costumes we stayed late every night and my pupils and myself made the costumes it was such fun and in fact this week one of my pupils was talking about it and she said taking part in it was the most fun she had ........it was brilliant .........but I am now dismantling the wings as it's time for me to fly off for other adventures elswhere .........x
Fantastic wings, not sure they are big enough for you oh dragonfly princess and where you will be flying in the universe!!!! Love seeing this photo of you. xox
Those wings are amazing, I am intrigued by the costumes at the festivals and wonder how they are made. Monday is going to be a sad day for you. What are your plans now?
I suppose there are positive as well as negative thoughts swirling around in your head right now. Love the wings,have a safe journey, wherever they may take you.
Your wings are so amazing and congratulations on reaching this new milestone in your life - I am sure these wings will take you a very long way into your new creative life! Big hugs, Suzy
Hi fantastic wings and your class room looks so welcoming and exciting! Good luck with your new adventure, are you leaving teaching? I started my new adventure this week, working 3 days at the school instead of 5 so I have a little more time to stitch! M x
Aw this is so sad, I can't imagine how I would feel leaving all those memories behind. It will be me too one day. Your classroom looks so nice! I hope you find something else that really is fun. I will be thinking of you MOnday :) x x
