May's Goal: School Gifts

It's that time of year - crunch time for the end of school. I have 4 weeks before the end of school and just yesterday I was informed that next week is teacher appreciation week. Why do they never put that on the school's calendar to give me a heads up about it?!

So my goal this month is to make some teacher gifts. His super amazing 1st-grade teacher will be getting a rope bowl accented with purple fabrics (her favorite color) that will be filled with all sorts of fun goodies like coffee and gift cards. She will also get a handmade zipper pouch.  So far, the only thing I've pulled are the fabrics for the pouch:


I'd also like to make either zipper pouches or small rope bowls for his secondary teachers - for a total of 3 more gifts - for music, PE, and art.  So that's a total of 5 gifts in all, but given that they're smaller, it's totally doable.

  3. lovely gifts these will make, this must put pressure on those who do not have much money having a week for giving gifts to teachers, I do not think it happens here in the UK it certainly didn`t when my daughters or granddaughter were at school

  7. These will be excellent gifts. I agree on the Teacher's Appreciation week, I never seem to find out about it until the day or two before it starts.
