There's a polar bear in my kitchen

November 11, 2010 by

I’m not renown for my house keeping skills. I’m not renown for my cooking. In fact, when I suggested the other day that we’d bring cake to the Beans house for our Bonfire Night get together, there was some apparent consternation while various members of the gathering tried to work out whether they had all […]

Sporting Catch Up.

November 7, 2010 by

I didn’t get round to blogging the last competition, partly from lack of time and partly because neither of them were very happy with how they did. Somehow it seems pointless t try and big up something that they don’t feel a sense of achievement about, even though they had nothing to worry about at […]

History – Egyptians and so on.

November 7, 2010 by

I’ve going to have a stab at doing a better job of contributing to this soon as I’m not doing very well and I don’t like coasting. I was a bit too off the planet still when it was mooted and it has occurred to me a bit late that I need to read Story […]

Assorted crafting.

November 7, 2010 by

Last weeks cloaks didn’t really have masses of time for me teaching dress making, seamstress-ing or costume design but Maddy did get a crash course in pinning, which will no doubt stand her in good stead at some point. There was a very small amount of fun with this (if I’m honest not terribly good) […]

Matisse/Klee Art Day

November 7, 2010 by

There is always a danger to deciding to make plans – and that tends to be for me that I automatically rebel and stop working to them 🙄 I think this is probably a behaviour I should have outgrown by now. Anyway, we did an Art.etc day with added Beans which was really lovely. I […]

Dammit, I’m so far behind and I’ve got photos of things to take as well. In fact, I’m so far behind that I might need my friends to remind me where I’ve been or I’ll forget what I’ve forgotten. Amelie & Fran’s comp. Fran’s comp. Maddy’s TKD successes. Josie’s wobble Josie’s birthday and party. Art […]

Telepathy & Pixies

November 2, 2010 by

Dear Freddie, Seven months. More than half a year. Most of the time I was pregnant with you. Seven long and lonely months learning to live with the feeling of you not in my arms. I’ve spent so much of this month thinking of the link you and I shared and of all the times […]

Josie is a Star!

November 2, 2010 by

Well, okay, I was supposed to upload a picture of me; but really Josie the Titchy Witch is much more fun to look at anyway and if anyone needs their own laptop in this house, it’s Josie. After all, a girl has Penguins to play with and there is precious little time for doing so […]

The Day of the Dead

October 31, 2010 by

It seems amazing, incredible, prophetic and deeply ironic that last year, on this date, I added my little egg in a basket to my blog header and announced my pregnancy. It was just Halloween then, though I was reading some books that were showing me a way of thinking of this time of year as […]

Keeping Busy Craftily

October 31, 2010 by

A side effect of this week being busier was that I got less knitting done, but I’m pleased with what I’ve achieved through the week overall. I managed two squares last week but only one this week, the red, orange and yellow one. Annoyed by my failure with tension down the middle of it though. […]
