About & Disclosure

Hello!

Welcome to Red Ted Art: Craft inspiration for Everyone.

So who am I and why Red Ted Art? I am Maggy Woodley. I am half Austrian, half Spanish, living in the Uk – married to “The Englishman”. I like to think of myself as an “European”. I have one son – known as Red Ted. Red Ted is a very lucky boy, as he has a brand named after him. I am very lucky mum, as I have Red Ted(needles to say I am bias). I also have a little girl: Pip Squeak. Pip Squeak adores painting and getting messy and she is just like her mum… I like making my friends’ birthday cards. In spring I grow tomatoes and other veg (with varying degrees of success). In autumn I make green tomatoe chutney. And I like baking Austrian cookies at Christmas. We have two cuddly little cats (come to think of it, they look a bit like little teddy bears..). The children play with the cats’ toys and the cats play with children’s toys. I guess that is just how things are.

This blog was originally set up to help me promote my Artwork for children, but has since then become much much more:

Red Ted Art is designed to be your one stop shop for all things crafty: come visit for weekly kids crafts (suitable 18mths – 10yrs) or see out weekly tutorials (suitable for older children and adults). We love reading, so you will usually find a book reviewed along with our kids crafts. There is also a monthly, themed Get Crafty carnival – which is a collection of ideas under one theme – perfect for certain times of the year (e.g. Christmas Get Crafty) or certain school projects (e.g. Weather Get Crafty).

Contact me on info@redtedart.com

Aliases:

The Englishman: My very supportive and long suffering paint splashed husband

Red Ted: My oldest son, inspired the brand

Pip Squeak: My very determined and crafty little Miss

Me: Maggy Woodley

Found you & it is fab! When Gary @himupnorth moved from blogger to WP he sent regualr notes via Blogger advertising his posts on WP. It gave everyone time to switch over. Might be worth contacting him to see how he did it. I know I got email alerts for both his Blogger & WP sites! Good luck with this new look!

Loving your blog! Lots to inspire mums and kids to get crafty. There are so many cool ideas that got me thinking that maybe you would be interested in our stop motion animation kit for kids. It can bring all your wonderful creations to life! Let me know what you think

Hi Maggy

I can’t really work out how to get involved with the Kid’s Get Crafty thing on Wednesday. How does it all work, i’m new to blogging. Do I have to log in on a Wednesday. If you could point me towards some step by step instructions for simple people then that would be a big help.

Thanks

Mark

Hi Maggy

I\’ve just been told about your great blog.
I\’m a mum of 3 girls and love baking and stories. I looked for books that incorporated recipes and an adventure story, but didn\’t find one, so wrote my own. I\’ve now had 3 Flossie Cryms baking adventures published ( the latest, Flossie Crums and the Magic Spotty Dotty Cake -was voted number 22 in top 50 cookery books in the Independent -hurray!)
The books have been a bit hit (and not just with my own girls) and I\’ve even got a licensing deal now with a company that sells \’edible play dough\’ (you can buy it in Lakeland and Tesco, or better still, I could send you some to try out on red ted and Pip Squeak? I\’d also love you to review the book/s
Let me know if you\’d like to continue chatting, you can also read Flossie\’s blog, that I\’ve been writing for just a few months, but love doing.
Have a great evening (I\’ve got to finish off a volcano project – a large choc cake with exploding crunchie rock lava, for my daughter to take into school tomorrow and pretend she did it all herself!
Kindest wishes
