We’re busy here, doing better than you might think at enjoying each others company and being together. After being hectically busy, trade pretty much stopped when the Daily Mail started banging on about the weather so I was able to come home and be with the kids and Max hasn’t been so stretched either. We […]
Christmas Wreaths & Fimo Xmas Shapes
A couple of weeks ago I did a round up of some Christmas craft ideas, when I still had hope we’d replicate last years happy Christmas crafty month. We’ve not quite achieved that so far, but there is still time and we finally made a start on it on Monday,yesterday and today – thank heavens […]
Na….Na….Na….Oh!
I’m trying terribly hard to keep up to date with this but I’m failing completely on writing up the days out we have; we’ve settled into a rhythm of plenty of edu-lising (educational socialising!) with our etc groups ad they are great. The only problem with them for me is that whatever stage of healing […]
Christmas Crafting & Ideas
Last December we called time on ‘home educating normals’ for December as I felt that after years of me being immersed in business during the festive season, the girls deserved my full attention and some old fashioned fun. As it happened, we ended up, through a variety of add on conversations and the sheer joy […]
I'd mulch if only I knew how.
This Summer the girls and I dabbled with gardening again. We’d planned to anyway, I had thought it would be a good way to get us all outside in a season I expected to spend with a smallish baby and probably a lack of inclination for going very far away. The way our house is […]
Remembering Remembrance Day
Zoe very kindly spent the morning with my children so I could go to work as we had some things that needed both of us to do. Between us we’d come up with a couple of crafts to do that would keep on the theme and inspire them, we hoped, to think about the day […]
History – Egyptians and so on.
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.
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
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 […]
The Day of the Dead
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 […]
