Bag o' tricks

  • Use Oasis to support peg dolls with wet faces
    Little tips that make craft & sewing more gain, less pain.

The beat goes on

T-guitar solo
Tristan fronting Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit"

Our broadband is working at the moment so I'll take a quick opportunity to share some images of T & G performing at the rock show on Wednesday night. The school put up a big festival tent because rain threatened. 

Grace strums 1
Gracie in the Beatles finale

It was a fantastic family atmosphere and it gave the children's paternal grandparents a chance to attend their first rock concert (bundled in heaps of blankets, with ear plugs in) and they loved it as much as I did.

Tris as drummer
Tristan drumming with another band

Tristan played guitar with a band he put together and also drums for his guitar teacher's band. Gracie joined in "With a little help from my friends" to close the show. This night is a highlight of the year for Tristan - it's so much fun seeing him have fun doing what he loves.

Shutterbug mama
A friend snapped me taking pics - loving my long lens that night!

Gracie left for camp this morning and was "feeling wobbly." She's a trooper though and I'm sure she'll enjoy her week. I was up till the very wee hours making little surprise notes and treats to hide in her bag.

If the Internet gods are with me I shall return soon with a giveaway.

Upadate: Obviously they aren't with me because I lost connection again right after typing that last sentence so now I'm back a day later.

Back soon I hope. Have a great week!

Quick peeks

Oldhome_4

We'll miss our little Edwardian home near the sea. It had little hideaways like this back porch covered with jasmine and we could walk into town or to the beach.

Houseshot

We're now back in the countryside closer to school. I asked the children to take some pictures of the new house, but this is what I got. Our new house from a 6 year old's perspective.

Music to pack a house by:

Mark_ronson

Love this

Mark Ronson CD. Funky, jazzy beat energized me for the dreaded move.

Music to unpack a house by:

James_taylor

Fantastic live JT album we just found again (benefits of a move - finding stuff.) Voice with perfect clarity and amazing backing vocals too. Something about James Taylor that makes me feel like I've come home.

Santacinnamon_3

Also, thanks Laura, my Holiday Traditions Swap partner for the fantastic package of goodies. I love it all, especially these little santa cinnamon sticks!

Thanks Meg from Montessori By Hand for organizing the swap : )
