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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Keeping Busy Craftily
A side effect of this week being busier was that I got less knitting done, but I’m pleased with what I’ve achieved through the week overall. I managed two squares last week but only one this week, the red, orange and yellow one. Annoyed by my failure with tension down the middle of it though. […]
Still creating
I’ve knitted some more squares. I’ve made some things. I’ve modelled myself back from another brink, I think. Some days I don’t do much more than a squidge of Fimo or a few rows of knitting, but creating this is helping. I’m going to need more walls, if not more beds, soon though.
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 […]
And a bit of stuff on the creativity front.
In between co-ercing Fran into home work stints and taking Amelie to gym and the others to dancing, i did some stuff. I made this a while ago so it got finished off, put on the wall and then blogged over at Fimo-Ideas. After yesterdays fun, i wanted to have a go at something, so […]
It's the torc that counts.
Title especially for my sister 😉 I’ve been reading (now finished them, feeling bereft) a set of book about Boudica by manda Scott. They were really excellent and i got very into them. My British history interests has been extending further and further back through historical fiction and i really enjoyed the whole pagan/celtic/tribal thread. […]
Cleopatra Fimo Models.
Clockwise from left – mine, Fran’s and Amelie’s. Apparently mine wasn’t good enough (so said Maddy) So i tried again. I like this one more but i must admit, the internet is an unforgiving place, i know how rubbish i am at this now, Flickr is not the friend of the amateur! Couple of weeks […]
