distraction - diversion - confession
DISTRACTION :
I haven't blogged for ages. I haven't sewn for ages. I haven't done anything but work or be sick for what seems like ages. iGCSE mocks start in a couple of weeks so it's just full on.
I had my teaching observation today - if you're a teacher, or just a human being, you'll understand how very stupidly inept and nervous observations make you feel, even when you know you are a good teacher from the results and connection you have with your students! It went really well. My head of department rocks ... her feedback was fantastic. A bit of reflection almost makes the horrendous marking load worth it.
(this term I've been getting up at 5.30am to get it done and frankly I'm pooped.)
DIVERSION:
Anyway, while I'm on the endorphin rush of getting that ick out of the way for another year, I thought I'd pop in and show you these amazing test card images I found while planning this "Normal service will be resumed ..." post
… Excuse me ... How quilty are these ????
All from a wonderfully nerdy test card website. Go feast your eyes and I'll be back before you know it …
… aren't they just wonderful? Oh I dream of doing them all in shot cottons ….
and of course my favourite …
CONFESSION:
When I was little I always assumed it was somehow a picture of me, which led me to believe for years ... and I mean most of my life ... that each family had their own test card!
see you soon … I hope to show you something new and zingy this weekend!
