This post was Commissioned by MyDeals.com Valentine’s Day is the one day of the year where buying soppy gifts and cards and being all loved up in public is acceptable. There is not a better feeling than when you treat the special person in your life to thank them for how happy they make you [...]
My Health Goal for the New Year I “don’t do New Year’s Resolutions”. Really, I don’t. But I do do, making changes. And one change, I want to make this year, is to start exercising again (yes, sounds rather like a New Year’s Resolution, but believe me it is not, honest). Before having kids, I [...]
A special post to highlight the fabulous PinkOddy and her ”Motivation Monday” linky party! A weekly linky party, well to motivate you – this can be anything – from trying out a new recipe, to going for a walk in the park with the kids, to try something new, or spend more quality time for [...]
… thank you VERY much for subscribing to Red Ted Art. Your subscriptions mean a lot to me! I am having technical problems at the moment – which mean that the email updates do not contain the links to the posts. I am in the process of fixing this. Please bear with me. Hopefully by [...]
Ok, this is a post about Tom Tom and an AMAZING competition they are running (details to follow)… but first, I have to say, that I decided to take this (sponsored) post, as I thought their campaign video is simply brilliant – that alone is a reason for me to check out the competition. You [...]
Well.. I am very proud of Red Ted’s drawing skills. But I am also VERY proud of his colouring in skills. He is only 4 years and when we were on our flight to Austria, he spent the WHOLE time colouring in an Austrian Airline’s picture. Meticulously. So, when we got the Rice Crispy challenge, [...]
As you may have gathered… I do try (!) to live a greener life (hence LOTS of recycled crafting), but this also applies to not creating waste (avoiding plastic bags, by making my own shopping bags!). However, one big impact on the environment is our home! And the energy we use within it. It is [...]

Well.. my claim to fame, is that I ran a race with Paula Radcliffe: The London Marathon in 2003. Only she set a World Record that day and I, ahem, set my one and only Marathon “record” of 4hrs 31min pretty much TWICE the time of her 2 hours, 15min and 25sec. You do have [...]

As you know, I LOVE LOVE LOVE to craft with and for my family. What I really like to do is to craft on a budget – recycle/ upcycle, using every day objects and transforming them into a fun and simple toy or something that the family will cherish for ever. Our favourite kids craft [...]
As a mother, it is one of my top priorities to nurture and look after my children. As a baby it is all about feeds and sleep. Then comes weaning… and then the every day battle of getting our children to eat healthily and a good variety of food (pasta every day just doesn’t work). Enjoying and eating good [...]
Handprint Animals: A Complete Alphabet A-Z
Well, it has been a fun 26 weeks! I cannot believe that we embarked on a Handprint Alphabet over 26 weeks ago (that is 6 months ago?! Wow). And what an alphabet journey it has been! We started off with an innocent A for Alien.. then a B for Bee.. and suddenly we were on [...]
Today we are looking at being “Creative with Flowers” – I decided to do our very first “How To Press Flowers” session with the children. Flower pressing is another on of those “childhood” classic crafts that you can have a go at – it is surprising how well some flowers do press (whilst, ahem, other don’t). So [...]
