After the success of the Kandinsky Monday, it was probably inevitable that more would follow. The girls have been fairly actively arty all week, which suits me just fine. I can hardly believe it, but in some senses we are (as a family) heading in to the run of ‘the run up to Christmas’ soon […]
Music, movement & painting in circles
Zoe and i commenced “the plan” today, working our way around Fran, Skye and Amelie going to a workshop with Tim Noble at their dance school. While they were out, we got the others working with a fairly intensive day looking at the art of Kandinsky with the help of a rather fab book from […]
The Weekly Round Up.
Last Friday we went off to Wicksteed Park for the day. Not been for ages and the girls all really enjoyed themselves, mingling with friends and going on rides with them and with Daddy. I was happy just to mooch and watch them enjoy their half price wristbands; I’m not a fan of rides and […]
Gone in a Flash
I took these photos on Max’s birthday. I just liked the discarded bit of paper and all the colours. Afterwards, when I saw the way the two had come out, I had a wry smile. Big Birth Wishes. Gone in a flash. I forgot to wish for a bring home baby. Must get round to […]
Counting Magpies
A very busy week. I’m hoping to persuade Max to blog Friday as a guesting blogger (he might) but I don’t think I’ll hang on for him so I’ll do a quick phot round up. After the busy weekend and then Monday doing art with le Ciel Rouge, we visited Stanwick Lakes on Tuesday with […]
Art in shades of pastel.
Continuing our arty-wordy theme, we took pastels back to Le Ciel Rouge today. Let the girls play and trampoline and socialise for a while, then chained them to the table to do something meaningful. Zoe got out some books and suggested they use them for inspiration and we all ‘art-ed’ together. I do think making […]
Previously, in the PoP residence….
There was much (MUCH!) Geomag play. Am seriously considering stocking these now they’ve relaunched. Amelie made me a present after a rather lovely nature walk with Daddy. Fran and I had been down to Addenbrookes for the day, visiting an incarcerated friend family while we were there. Fran got signed off from one surgeon too, […]
Art and Words
In our effort to do some good days work but be a bit more interesting and diverse than we had been, we set to it yesterday. (I have yet to respond about writing below, my brain started spinning but i will!) There were music lessons going on downstairs so the girls worked in shifts with […]
Writing about it.
This is not a post about Freddie 😉 It’s a home ed post. Try to remain calm. It has probably not escaped the attention of anyone that i write about my feelings. I’m not a terribly coherent writer, nor do i think i paint pictures with my words all that well. I certainly don’t use […]
Christmas Fimo Models & Needle Felting
On Monday we went to Zoe’s for the day; Zoe had got ready this lovely Christmas Pudding recipe for us to make and orchestrated 2 bowlfuls of pudding. Hopefully we can make cakes next week too 🙂 While she did that i got shifts of girls doing felting and everyone made something or started on […]
