Lots of easy crafts this week. #5We’ve done Shrinkies already but here are pictures of the finished articles. #6Then we moved on to colouring in Stained Glass windows, with some debate about where to hang them for best effect and what pens were going to work best and why. Some discussion on colour densities, light, […]
Christmas Wednesday Group.
Today, this poor deprived group of hidden and potentially uneducated children did the following:- Sang Christmas carols in Latin, making educated logical guesses on what different words were before each one. Who knew the Romans sang Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, eh?! Did group music theory while eating carrot sticks, shouting out the note values […]
Firmer Footing For Fighting.
So this morning i had some thoughts. And today, gradually, the news coverage has rolled in; in the main, i think it has been positive. The Independent has this to say in a generally fair an accurate portrayal of the circumstances. The Telegraph uses the word “force” which is language i think we need in […]
What I think about the Select Committee Review into HE.

How Time Flies.

Notes on a Baby
I don’t feel like i have talked very much about this baby; my friends might not agree because they get to put up with the fretting that i do. (I apologise, you have no idea how much it helps to say things though.) This baby started off with me thinking it was gone before i […]
Making Christmas Shrinkles & Felt Stockings
Each of the girls made, or mostly made, one of theses. Not as easy as it looks as the snowflake needed sewing on and there was some route planning involved in doing that (reminded me of some maths we used to do in school involving nodes and the crossing over of lines but it never […]
Today's Educational Topic & Felted Christmas Shapes
Decent photos of the finished articles can be added tomorrow as the light isn’t good enough to take them decently but here is my felted snowman and Fran’s felted present. Christmas Craft #3 was these cute little kits from Tesco, which would have been too expensive to do en masse, had i not caught them […]
