Handbag Charm Dangle End of School Year Gifts for Teachers

I have had little to no time to do any crafting, blogging or glass work as I am fostering to very young, globally delayed, boys. They suck up time and energy like no other children we have cared for and most days I can barely remember my name, but on the plus side they are making huge progress!

Enough of my woes, one of them has been going to nursery for 3 hours a day for a few weeks now and is loving it, so I made the teachers a thank you gift to acknowledge all their hard work with this very challenging child.

I found out their favourite colours (I know their names) so hopefully they will love these personalised handbag charm dangles.
The little guy took great delight in presenting his gifts, which made it all worthwhile.

An apple for the Teacher gift - a glass picture

Long gone are the days when you could give an apple to the teacher to show your appreciation for their hard work all year. Teachers deserve loads of thanks for all they do but it has become such a competitive 'gift' process now and is far less about 'the thought' than about the gift. I do pity those poor parents with several kids and therefore lots of teachers to thank.

I have seen lots of apple related gifts recently so thought I would add mine to the mix.

A cute mini frame with a delicious looking apple that wont attract wasps! It can also be personalised with a teacher's name if required.



I met Alicat at Danson Park Show this weekend. We usually go along to help out at RSPB as it is down the road. I saw on Ali's blog, I think, that she was going to be there. I love her work so took the opportunity to say hi to someone I know 'virtually' through CF.
It's always nice to put a face to a name and Ali got to meet the person behind the CF fluffy grey and white cat!

Ali's work is gorgeous, so much more so 'in person' and being as experienced as she is there are no bubbles in her work! She very kindly gave me some tips for my attempts and also has given me a really good idea, which I wont reveal yet, but am keen to give a go!

Happy Handmade Monday, pop along and see some more gorgeous makes here
