www.flickr.com Kids are enjoying these books at the moment so i thought i’d make a set up i could add to at times and see how they progress. It’s been interesting watching them over the last couple of days, especially Fran who is much less inclined to draw than Maddy or Amelie. i think Fran […]

Bleurgh. So much snot 🙄 Good job we postoned the Thanksgiving thing today we had planned with Tammy and the Beans as none of us we up to a lot. We have done piles of drawing, entertained Auntie kate, and Fran has read a book, but now we are firmly into the realms of geomags, […]

I think it must just have been the heaped up crud, cold and sleepiness that did it yesterday. Today has been much better. Still, one of the things i like about blogging is looking back and seeing how good life is, as a general rule, so it is honesty to me to write up the […]

I could put “not much to report” – because in HE terms there isn’t – and this is supposed to be an HE blog after all. However, have had a lovely day with Beans and Goddards, celebrating BB’s birthday. Thank you very much for inviting us and it was great to spend time with you […]

*Shriek* Just unpacked an 8 box delivery and i’m snowed under. I’ve got 30 parcels to pack back up and all the new lines to list. Feeling quite energised by business; Xmas always a good time to get motivated 🙂 Wanted to say will do a “£1 off per kit over costing £9.50” offer for […]
