i am inspired: Painting to music....
http://iaminspiredblog.blogspot.com/2015/03/painting-to-music.html
Monday, 16 March 2015. Unfortunately my felt making session at Ardleigh Green College for International Women's Day was cancelled due to sickness which was a shame. However on the positive side I was able to join some silk painters for the day over at Toots Hill in the Essex countryside for a creative play day with music. Waassily Kandinsky often used music whilst painting saying that. Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Israel IZ Kamakawiwo'ole. We then jumped to the energetic. Benny Goodman -Sing Sing Sing.

Friday, 27 September 2013. When I moved into my house 2 years ago I bought lots of second hand furniture with the idea to renovate it all and have a lovely house (little did I know how much time little people took up! This summer I finally managed to complete the stool to go with my drawers and I was so excited I had to share it. I love it and my other half dosent get as enthusiastic as me. When I started on the stool I found loads of layers where people in the past had renovated it as well.

Saturday, 25 October 2014. Malevich at the Tate Modern. A friend of mine offered me a free ticket to the Malevich exhibition at the Tate Modern. So we packed up the kiddies, jumped on a train on a very wet Monday and headed on down to check it out. I wasn't too familiar with his work only knowing that he was a revolutionary Russian painter but on first entering there were familiar signs and similarities to the Russian Constructivist's. Art should remain a spiritual activity". Revolutionary of Russian Art.

Saturday, 30 August 2014. Child friendly days out. The view from the station at the end of the mini railway. I think this shows the Essex countryside in all its idyllic glory. Mini railway in all its splendour. They have great sculptures along the route to keep all occupied and amused! Thomas Heatherwicks "sitooterie" which I had been longing to see. It really lives up to the pictures by its tranquility and serenity, even with our little brood! Kids days out in Essex. Wednesday, 27 August 2014. Wwwiamins...

Saturday, 4 July 2015. Oh we do like to be beside the sea. June is a really busy birthday month for us with my neice's, my mum's and my youngest's birthday all within 6 days of each other!

Trains disco's games characters = very happy children. The metal work on the pier is amazing from Tim Hunkin. Lots of people l...

Nickie In Stitches: May 2010

Monday, 31 May 2010. Not the Bank Holiday that I had hoped for. Had planned to go and see Holly as an Ummper Lumper on her Play School float this weekend but the last few weeks have caught up with me and I know it would have been silly to do so much driving in 2 days, so decided not to go. Put the backing on the quilt and then free machine stitched around the barbed wire patter to secure to the backing. Then found that it looked like lots of little pockets – yuk! Decided to cut circles and diagonals into...

Sunday, 27 March 2011. Walking is limited this weekend, due to Oscar's little op! He is unimpressed by it all. He tried to get through the cat flap with his stylish new head gear, and complete dismantled it. Finished off what Peggy Sue started! One, sort of, repaired cat flap, at least there won't be any more drafts and the animals will have to learn to keep their legs crossed until I get home! Still not impressed :-(. Friday, 25 March 2011. Millie Mai has started walking. Thursday, 24 March 2011. Then h...
