I’ve been enjoying watching a real change in my girls over the last few days. Amelie and Josie have both really persisted at sewing Tudor clothes for their Groovy Girl dolls and have got better and better as they went along. Both sewed gather petticoats in jersey fabric (idea for a doll, falls really nicely) […]
Blogging like the old days.
The girls want o make Tudor costumes. Normal practise is to make rough versions first and get the hang of it. I thought we needed to start very small; groovy girl small. Rather to my surprise, Josie has managed amazingly well. She’s completed, all on her own and with increasing neatness, a petticoat with waistband […]
A day in the past.
Try to remain calm… We left the house, all of us, in one go. We went somewhere. We had a nice time. Miracles! Lots of our friends have started doing Tudor reenactment at Kentwell Hall. You might think we would be dead certs for this, I certainly have always wanted to do something of the […]
Stuff we do.
I’ve got a post coming up sometime soon on why it’s been such a very long stream of at home days for so long and what we are doing about it, but while life has been mostly home, we’ve got on and done nice things. It’s been the mostly lovely, healing 4 months forums. We’ve […]
WedEd: sewing, electromagnets (possibly) and The Listeners.
Yesterday was a good day. After a slow start my spirits soared as we came within a tiny distance of sponsoring six children in Niger, I was feeling disappointed in what I had achieved but actually, it suddenly struck me that in 3 days bloggers and readers of blogs have pledged £1700. We are going […]
Ramble ramble.
I’ve got a gazillion this to catch up on blogging wise. Oh how I miss the olden days when I could blog at 5pm each day about what we had done. I’m caught between feeling we do nothing and seeing what a huge amount actually goes on around here. There is masses of conversation ed […]
Yellow Bird; that mummy and baby thing. And home ed.
I’ve got a 4 month post coming because I think it is time to stop counting in weeks. But one last time. He’s 17 weeks and he is so big and so changed and so different and utterly adorable. In the rare moments when he does stop feeding, what he likes more than anything is […]
Wibble wobble, all fall down.
Sometimes being a home educator is completely brilliant. Sometimes is just one extra thing to beat myself with. Right now baby Ben is asleep in bed, which is a good thing as last night I somehow put my back out and, despite costly trip to the osteopath this morning, I can barely move at all. […]
Easter Holiday Occupation
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 […]
Getting school life taped.
We are approaching the end of the 2nd term of having one child in school, unless you peddle in the pointless currency of 6 term years like this school does. I’m not sure that was worth the effort of rebranding personally; I only work in 3 terms and I suspect it will go the way […]
