Hello. Meet Jack! Jack is a little guy that came into our lives for a week or two thanks to our friends at Innocent drinks! They said: take J and look after J. Have some fun, they said… well… J is a Jolly, Jovial little Jockey and we called him Jack. And Jack joined us [...]
I cannot really describe what I feel when I think about the devastation in Japan caused by the earthquake and following Tsunami. For me, it is beyond believe and almost as if it were something out of a novel. But for many the devastation, the hurt and the loss is reality. Not just now, but [...]
Well hello. You all know that Red Ted Art is all about CRAFTS, as well as some books/ games/ anything to do with children reviews and our cheeky weekly photo. It is a formula that works for me and keeps me focussed and avoids “cluttering” up the blog with things, I believe you don’t want [...]
Wow! I am taking part in the Book Blogger Appreciation Week! It really is very exciting, as we love books here at Red Ted Headquarters and I love to share what we are reading. Unfortunately I got it all back to front and the wrong link was sent to BBAW. THIS is the correct [...]
This week’s prompt for Tara Cain’s Gallery is “Still Life” – inspired by a fabulous photo of cooked bacon (my, how my mouth waters). My response to the challenge is our washing. Afterall, doing the washing and the washing itself is rather mundane, don’t you think? Not anymore: Here we have Red Ted’s “Da” (photo [...]
I am linking this up with Purple challenge! This week’s The Gallery challenge by Tara Cain, was “The World We Live In” – what are those gorgeous places around the world, that lift our spirits and fill our dreams? Where do we have our happiest memories or would like to go again. All sorts of [...]
If you are visiting from Book Bloggers Appreciation Week, please go here for the “full list of entries”. I managed to muddle it all up. **Sorry**. Finally a book & art project for the older children amongst us (inspired by A Mommy’s Adventure)! I made this with the neighbour’s son, who is 7yrs and loves [...]
We went to visit a good Swedish friend of mine for an “early” Easter lunch last week. My, did she lay out a pretty spread for us – lots of Swedish traditional goodies – salmon, rollmops, meats and for Easter, of course, hard boiled eggs. Like in most countries that decorate eggs, you usually decorate [...]
We love books. And I think no baby is too young to be read to (or shown pictures to!). As our library of books explode, I would love to share our favourite ones with you! The easiest way to do this, is through an “Amazon Store” – then if you like something you can buy [...]
Thank you to Whose The Mummy for awarding me the honour of telling you 7 things about myself, as if I need an excuse to talk about myself! Do want to keep things Art related though… so will tell you 7 vaguely arty things about me: I share the same country of birth as Salvador [...]
I love Tara Cain’s Weekly The Gallery. Each week we she posts a new topic on her site and encourages submissions. This week’s theme is “Ugly”. Rather a tricky one we all say. I thought about finding a slug. But couldn’t find one. Then I thought of an unfavourable family photo, but that wouldn’t have [...]
Finally, our first stART project inspired by Playing By the Book and A Mommy’s Adventures – who have made some great booky projects! Do take a look, they are fab. We decided to “honour” Oliver Jeffers with our first arty porject and we picked The Way Back Home. It is a lovely quirky book featuring the [...]
That’s right AWAY with the vlog. I obviously have an addictive personality. Having create a mere two vlogs (How to make Funky Party Bags & How to make Seedling Pots) all I am thinking about is MORE vlogs. What else can I bring to the table to help all those lovely people out there do [...]
So.. I had dinner to cook for the kids and I had a handful of craft sticks. So I gave these to the kids, a bunch of pens and some googly eyes, whilst I sorted their dinner. And we got.. these adorable Craft Sticks Bookmarks. They would be a FABULOUS little gift for Father’s Day [...]
Well! Yes, Father’s Day isn’t for a little while and Father’s Day dates vary around the globe.. and you know, Fathers have birthdays too, right? What to make? And they can be whenever, so some crafty bloggers got together to talk Gifts for Dad that Kids can make!! Brilliant. There are of course the Father’s [...]
Quick Craft: Father’s Day Feet Bookmarks
We saw these super cute and easy footprint bookmarks over at The Seeds Network Blog. We used contact paper and wrote the children’s ages on the back. The ribbons are recycled! Father’s Day sorted (we made extra for the grandfather’s too). We love footprint crafts and have made plenty of thank you cards and even [...]
