Look look look what Mr Posty brought me today... it's a present from me to me! Hoorah. (Those are the best kinds, you get what you want that way)
Lucy was having a giveaway, but I couldn't wait to see if I won (she still hasn't done the draw, not that I want any of you to go and visit, because I still want to win), I asked her (everso nicely) if she'd make me a picture of my very own. She did, and this is it. Isn't it amazing?! The detail is awesome, it's only a diddy little picture, fits perfectly into an Ikea Ribba frame, and it's still so detailed. The flower pots are my favourite bit. Or maybe the windows, actually I really love the clouds. Oh, dammit, I don't know - it's all too brilliant, I love every single tiny stitch.
And soon she's opening on etsy shop. I expect to be very broke very shortly.
Look at it close up - such beautiful little stitches....
But the goodness doesn't stop there, oh no....
I won a giveaway from Kathleen's blog (I did give her a sob story about ginger being ginger, therefore he'll get picked on when he starts school, and needing this robin or he would cry forever, it seems to have worked, I'll try it more often...). When I opened the parcel, not ONE robin but a BABY too! And awesome goodness...look (are you looking? Good)
Some long coveted ribbon, some liberty prints (there are 2, the other one is hiding, and I didn't already have these either - yay!), and some soft and lovely cashmere. Today I am spoiled rotten. Thank you, I like it, lots. I am thinking I might snaffle both robins and keep them for myself. Hmm. But then again, Miss G got some very bad news on Monday (it took her until this morning to tell me). The stand-in Religious Studies teacher told the class that a certain someone (we won't say his name in case there are smalls reading) is a myth created by Coca Cola. The shock!!! - I am furious, for 2 reasons...firstly, how dare she come out with that. Kids grow up way too quick these days, let them hold on to some innocence for a while longer, and secondly get your bleeding facts straight. He was a Turkish bishop. He was a real person, real and genuine, and Christian too, so perfectly relevant in RS. I phoned school, I am still seething. Let's look at my giveaway prize again to calm down a bit....
Phew, that's better.

Oh I'm so envious! I so desperately want to win Lucy's giveaway!!! And those robins are adorable as are all the goodies that came with them! But what a stupid teacher! Grrrr!
Lucy x
Great giveaway goodies :)
I'm Grrrring right along with you at that stupid teacher. Cheeky Moobag! I would have complained too.
xMx
A teacher told Miss G that. There are some things only parents have the right to tell their kids and that would be one of them. Let them believe in all things magical for as long as they want or need to. Goodness. And really if you are going to crush the dreams of children, do have your facts strait.
Crap, I would have been furious. Poor Baby.
I am loving your holy clothes.
ooh lovely giveaway goodies you won!... and the little mini quilt/fabric art houses are brilliant.
I'm gerring with you... all coca cola did was commision no.rman rockwell to paint santa in the coca cola "red" instead of the traditional "green".. huff puff
I can't believe a teacher did that! I'm seething for you... I hope you gave them a good telling off! Love the picture and the little robins. Not showing what I'm wearing because I'm far scruffier than you (Very old tracky bottoms and extra thick socks!!!)
Fabulous give-away presents! I Dispair sometimes about our schools, it should be a sackable offence to declare Father Christmas as a myth!
I'm not surprised you're furious, I would be too - Father Christmas is SO real!! Glad to see I'm not the only one slobbing around at home in holey jeans! And love your postal goodies - am especially jealous of Lucy's stitched houses, if I don't win the giveaway I may have to pay a visit to her soon-to-be-opened Etsy shop! :)
Oh what goodies! I hope they go some way to making you less stressy about that teacher. I can't believe a teacher would say something like that. No wonder you're cross! x
Oh that is so anniying, I really hate it when teachers impose tehir views on children!!! She had absolutely no right to say that - especially as you quite rightly pointed out - she is totally wrong. The only thing Coca-Cola did was dress him in red, prior to that he had usually worn purple - the ecclesiastical (coo check out my long words!!) colour for Advent.
Silly moo!!!! Please reassure Miss G on my behalf as well! Good Ol FC is alive and well and will be visiting us all shortly
April xx
Please, please, please complain. I don't normally comment but I feel so angry for you. Was just about to say about coca cola giving santa claus a red coat but noticed someone else already did. if you do nothing else at least make sure she has the facts straight.
I am de lurking (hi i've been enjoying your blog for ages!!) as I am very very very very angry on your and your little girls behalf!!
I would have complained too (and probably gone to the local press...in fact I would have even gone as far as ringing Jeremy Vine on Radio 2 - I reckon he could get a show out of this!! And then my other half would have come home from work and told me to get a life!!). I hope other parents complain and the teacher in question is strung up..(excessive again - sorry!!!)
I absolutely agree with you re 'You Know Who'. I'd have been straight on that phone too. It's like all this crap lately about not being allowed to use the word 'Christmas' for fear of insulting a certain religion. What on earth is this country coming to ?? I get soooooo cross about things like that.
Let the children enjoy the magic of Christmas, they aren't children for long these days so make the most of it I say.
It s---s when someone (moreover a teacher) brakes your child's believes in a second, without thinking not even in how close we are to Christmas. I told people in the family not to dare to break up my children's believes or else. I'm glad you called the school. I'm really sorry that this happened to you:(
Lucky you - so so cute! The houses ae amazing. The detail - fabulous. Good things, all of it.
Ohh, aren't you a disgrace with your holey jeans hahahhaha. (I am always wearing work clothes as I am "researching"). Love what the posties delivered, lucky you!
OOOHHHH.....What did the school say?? I would have been FURIOUS!
Well done you on the winning front and on the staying calm and not storming the school front.
just say the word and I shall send forth a rallying cry to gather the troops of A.R.S.E. This is just the type of thing we were created to avenge!!!!
You have received so many beautiful things! Good for you! I would be furious at that teacher as well. Let them have some magic in their lives for a while and something to be excited about. It definitely doesn't hurt them and it does enrich their imaginations.:)
I would be furious too at that teacher, how dare they, it's not up to them to tell kids that.
PS- I have a ginger one too, child that is but she's not up to school age yet so I can't use that sob story
That's just mean!
Lots of yummy goodies there! I want to know what the school said. I'm so sick of everyone spoiling the magical part of our children's lives, especially when they don't know what they're talking about.
Gorgeous goodies - I am in love with the house.
Poor G. She must have been stewing on that news for a good couple of days. You would have thought that the teacher would have the same questions every year and would have found some way of answering them that didn't crush their dreams!
I am not brave enought o show my clothes. I am covered in half of Hanna's breakfast! (Do you still want some handmade goodies from me :) )
AAAARRGGHH!!!! What a witch. Bet she has no kiddies of her own. I want to come up there and shove a Christmas tree where the sun don't shine, with a fairy on top!!
I also want to stroke your lovely house picture and lick your liberty prints. Your knees you can keep to yourself!!
sadly children do grow up to fast. i'm sorry that you have to deal with this. my son asked when he was nine if santa was real. i said what do you think? and he said i really want to know. so i told him. he was shocked and hurt. but then a few months later, he had pushed it out of his mind. he was ready to believe again. and now at almost 11, he is still believing. it's fun to believe even if you know the truth.
How dare that teacher?!
What gives her the right to choose what children can and can't believe in? I'd be so furious! I'd also demand an explanation from the school!
As for "What are you wearing Wednesday" Yesterday I was wearing my slouching-around-the-house-in- joggers that, like all my trousers, are too long for me so they are hemmed at the bottom with drawing pins! I would post a picture but I thought it might make customer's think I can't actually sew!!
Hi Katy
I wonder how you got on with the school in the end, I loved Trashalous comment, we should all storm the school shouting obscenities!
Lovely to see the little stitchy houses looking all cosy and at home on your blog, so very very pleased you liked the picture, you are too kind :o)xxxxxxxxxxxxx
I can't believe someone would do that!! A substitute teacher?! Being a trained teacher myself, I am just horrified that someone with such little understanding of children can be allowed to teach! This is something that is so out of line!! I would be complaining too...
However, that is not going to give little Miss G her magic Christmas back... Does she know, that some people don't believe in Santa, just like some people don't believe in God? (No comparison between the 2 intended. Lol).
I hope she gets her Christmas-spirit back asap!
Oh what lovely lovely goodies!!
OH what a stupid stupid teacher!!!! I am amazed that any teacher would be unkind enough to do that...but then again my rotten S-I-L is a teacher so maybe I can ;-)
xxx
Is nothing sacred anymore? Next they'll be telling me there's no tooth fairy! I sometimes wonder why the heck we send our babies to school - often just sucks the spirit right out of them!
I might have to join the "What I'm wearing" parade. If I do tomorrow it will probably be two shirts, two jumpers, two coats, thick wool socks and wooly slippers because it's minus 3 outside and our boiler broke today :(
^^ nice blog!! ^@^
