Niki's friend Polly is a teacher - a scary thought for those of us who have know here since she was 5, but these things happen!
She inherited a classroom with a lot of rubbish - but one of the things that survived a major clear out was this calendar
However, not only was it seriously out of date (see the years), but some numbers, most days and a season and a weather patch were replaced with either a laminated one, or a very basic stitched one
So I've embroidered the next six years
All the numbers
All the days
And the missing season and weather, so she and her mum can make new patches and recommission it
Rain and Winter - pah, can I choose Summer and Sunshine instead?
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
This is a great updating of that calendar. And I love the weather patches. They remind me of those old TV forecasts - a sort of meteorological pin the tail on the donkey. I think we had better weather back then...
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwwwwww that's going to be great for the classroom when it gets a little rejuvenating! LOL the old replacements for Winter and Rain were done by different people, I'm guessing ;)
ReplyDeletethe children will love this when it is reinstalled in the classroom, you did a great job
