There be Dragons.
Here is a better set of pictures of my dragons. They were my first 6, so hopefully I’ll get better at them but I had such a lot of fun making them. I love whimsical fimo modelling, there is so much less worry about them looking absolutely right and perfect. This little bunch of fellas […]
Ups and downs
After a week of all the girls being poorly, Max and I came down with milder versions of it this weekend. We pootled about though and did things – the girls indulged in a lot of rabbit play and pet worship, which was great to see. I made these and Josie sat with me, also […]
My Best of the Net
I’m staring at my toolbar and thinking I am so amazingly reliant on the internet these days. I’m not really thinking of the big 6 (well, what I think of as the big six anyway) of Amazon, eBay, Facebook, Google, Twitter and WordPress but all the other things that I and we, rely on in […]
Can home ed kids have a sickie? (Lego is better!)
And the fabulous (depending on your point of view!) answer is… no, not really. See, another plus point to home education- you can work even when you are sick… no reason to miss school days, ever. We even learn on holiday, we even do projects on holiday… we… we… we… yes, they read in the […]

The Co-Operative Revolution
A few weeks ago, driving home from our Latin Etc group, Fran said “We have a little school in a way now, don’t we?” And we do, in a way. It isn’t a school, because we specifically avoid the conditions that would make it so, but for a 12 year old who has only ever […]
Me and those women in Africa
Image Credit: University of Michigan In the nights following Freddie’s death, Max and I sat on the sofa, wrapped in a duvet, clinging to each other. We didn’t say much, we didn’t even cry much. We managed to have a spectacular row about a camping weekend and we managed to feed and put children to […]
Hope whispered.
A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to win this beautiful bookmark from SkyBlueSea thanks to a give away on Sleep is for the Weak. I got to customise it, choosing a star for Freddie and and M for myself and Suzanne found this wonderful quote for me, which just epitomises how life needs […]
