The Psychedelic Mystery of Benny Factor and the Cast of Groovy Characters

my babygirl just turned 18 - her daddy wrote a 'host a murder' mystery for her birthday party - it's like a real live cluedo where peeps are written into characters and they arrive and have to discover whodunnit - it was totally groovy - danny did a 24 hour road trip to "sow the seeds of doubt, dude...." and kennyyyyy got his groove on - it does help that he's taught these kids for the last five years - they were hilarious -

hi, i'm katie. i make stuff.

it's been a whole year since i started teaching part time. i think (after the epic four months that was cinderella) i'm coming up for air. we've just had a loooong weekend complete with skool ball (totally magical), and instead of marking maths/science tests, i found a little moment to *make stuff*. and i even coerced fab fullahs

to *make stuff* with me.

i've been thinking about recovering the dining chairs for quite a while now - they've already had one resurrection ten or fifteen years ago - i got some more old curtain samples the other day and voilà - le transformation:

uh huh, each one is unique

but actually, in the daylight, the blue links them all to each other, a bit like a family, yeah.

those flowers are for me'n'him X
