Needle-felting.
An Irish Craftworker has been needlefelting lovely stars 
She also makes felt birds, fish and bowls (I really like the birds).
Yes I really should stop mooning over other people’s talent and get off my bum a bit more and do some more for myself, but it is so much easier drooling over other people’s work 
Funnily enough, yesterday I had a mini splurge at Ottakars yesterday and bought R. and me (as R. wants to have a go) a book on Feltmaking
R. had an appt. with an Ed. Psych yesterday and I will be complaining 
She asked questions as if R. wasn’t sitting next to me and at one point told me that: “Children cannot be taught at home.” When I pointed out that R. had been taught at home for a good few years now, she said, “So the LEA has arranged a tutor.”
NO! NO! NO!
Arrrrrghhhh!
So I quoted some law at her, but don’t hold out much hope on the report at the multi-agency meeting next week.
Ho hum.
*Still* I know that the two of the people who will be at the meeting are supporting HE, although a possible p/t attendance at school is possible (and tempting at times). It’s all so up-in-the-air atm.
Still, grrrrrr to bloody annoying psychs.
(Slings'n'things)
Oh no! How infuriating to have to come up against such ignorant individuals, and how frustrating knowing that they have a certain amount of power to cause havoc in your lives. I’ve not had one person be negative about us HEing so far, and I know I’m really lucky in that - I’m waiting for the barrage, though, this time next year when Flopsy ’should’ be in school!

Grrrrr! Bout the ed psych. One of my little sisters needed support in school and I can remember going to meetings with my mum and these ed psych’s about it and even as a 17 year old I was just dumbstruck over how completely off the mark they were. Sounds like that kind of ignorance is still the red thread in the profession. Grrrrrr again.
