First steps in mixed media art

March 22, 2009 – 2:30 pm

Yesterday, we went to buy some canvases (two for me, two for Niccolo) to play with. Then we decided to go for a walk in the park. We were peacefully ambling along, when Nicco said: “Let’s race.” “Fine,” I replied, even though my heart sank at the idea of running or jumping. “What kind of [...]

It’s party time!

March 20, 2009 – 2:46 pm

I am participating in the Ultimate Blog Party 2009 (an annual party organised by 5 minutes for Moms), which takes place from March 20 to 27. I thought it was appropriate, seen as next Sunday is Mother’s Day (in the UK, anyway). The idea is to celebrate mothers (and their children) Carnival-style..so to kick off [...]

Spring time!

March 20, 2009 – 2:10 pm

February 17, 2009 – 2:13 pm

First of all let me say how brilliant it was to take part in the Valentine’s day blog parties. Absolutely fantastic. I had such a great time both visiting other blogs and meeting new people who came here for the first time. I’d like to say thank you to both Lesley and Kathryn for taking the time to organise [...]
