Fran and I have spent a very pleasant few bits of time sat at the table and making bracelets and dragons; she’s started to sell a few to friends now and has been invited to a charity coffee morning with them tomorrow. hard to know how that will go but I hope she sells some. […]
Dragons for Sale
I’ve spent a bit of time updating the Etsy shop. I’ve also created a page here where you can find what we currently have for sale under the MadeMerrily craft name, which Fran and I use. There are dragons.… (Felix is probably my best yet, I’m not sure his photo does him justice). And the […]
Friday Club: A Favourite Gadget
I’m a complete gadget girl; I have a DS (I’m on my 4th!) and an iPhone and a laptop and a Kindle and I love them all and can use up to three of them at any one time. I have a barcode scanner at work and a laminator and a decent camera and a […]
What is that in the distance?
Our art architecture project is moving on. We’ve started to look at perspective and how to draw in a way that gives shape and depth. First project was to use this idea and draw a simple square house with some elements of perspective to it. The point of the exercise was to get them to […]
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 […]

The Home Ed Round Up Bits
Trying to think what has been going on the last couple of weeks in the “in between other more meaningful posts” places. I always end up going to look on Facebook and Twitter to see what I’ve been doing. We finally managed to get most of the Lego builds in one place and one piece […]
A Day in the Garden (and a chance for a present :) )
After a grumpy day yesterday (I think top of the list of ‘how to help your friend if she loses a child’ should be ‘if she says the day is starting happy, she’ll crash within an hour and needs hourly moral boosts and love all day’) I wanted to do better today. The sun was […]
Art Day – Perspective
Today we were focusing on perspective which… um… helped us all keep perspective. Just about 😆 As days go, it was one of the ones which we all found a bit tough, due to tiredness, but as it happened, some really good artwork appeared, which goes to show it is worth persevering 🙂 We started […]
