Wow, what a busy few days we’ve had. Ben has had his first night away from home, I’ve had my first day fending for myself in the real world with a baby (!), we’ve had baby jabs and gym competitions and goodness knows what. And we are still dealing with the hopeless reality of BT […]
St Patrick's Day round up.
Continuing in my theme of always being behind, here is a round up of the crafts we ended up having fun with for St Patrick’s Day. We did manage to find out a bit about the real story too, mostly because Amelie uttered the importal #homeedfail sentence….. “What’s that story about St Patrick and the […]
Spring Crafts & Rainbow PomPoms
We’ve been mostly hanging out together in the living room this week, either with Lego or crafty stuff once all the music and ordinary work is done. One thing we’ve been really proud of and which was a proper group effort, was this rainbow pom pom banner, made partly in celebration of St Patrick’s Day, […]
St Patrick Day craft.
One or other of the children pointed out that with rainbows and green as his theme, we should have called Ben Patrick instead. I did try, but no one would have it at the time 🙂 Today I wanted to do something crafty with the girls and got as far as pulling out some inspiration, […]
Hama Bead Easter Bunnies
I can always rely on Maddy to come up with some brilliant Hama Bead patterns for me and she really went for it this time. Maddy, you are a complete star 🙂 We are just going to stick these together and hang them up now 🙂 Other offerings include Josie’s chicks and her […]
Easter Hama Bead Designs
Maddy made this last year, the day before Freddie was born. It’s kind of a funny thing, now. I love it though. The girls have made various things over the last week, to help me out with some new pages on BeadMerrily, home of all things Hama Bead-y.This is from one of the Mini Bead […]
Two Art Days, a Latin Day & a Dog
Help! I’m all behind on home ed blogging again. We’ve been busy and active and out and about but with one thing and another, I’ve not caught up. By the end of this week there will have been more busy-ness, so I better try and whisk through. We’ve done two full art days to catch […]
Valentine Hama Bead Patterns
In the spirit of creativity, we’re back into Hama Beads and Amelie surpassed herself this week by creating these.. I think they are very beautiful and we each have our own one on our desk. Thank you sweetpea. She inspired me, so I’ve spent a bit of time putting all our current Valentine Hama Designs […]
Chinese New Year Activities
In the midst of a busy week (and next week is the same) the girls and I thought we would revisit China and spend some time exploring Chinese New Year. We’ve not ‘done’ it for ages, certainly not so that Amelie or Josie would remember, so doing some finding out and crafting seemed a good […]
Easter Egg Hama Bead Designs
Despite being slightly hampered by the fact that my CD Hama Designer has ceased to work (and my spare which is actually Sarah’s is with Jacqui who converts things for me!) and the CD is out of date anyway and doesn’t have the boards, i have produced this page on the brand new BeadMerrily which […]
