WIP

Just another little something for Sophia! Just needs the band around the bottom to complete it! the pattern is called 'Modern Baby Bonnet'.

Sophia's dress.

Completed!
Next time yoy see it Sophia will be wearing it(if it fits? Here's hoping!).

Happy Birthday Lydia!

How did she get to be 17!! Can't believe she is so grown up!! University choices loom, and 'A' level work takes up a lot of her time.Really glad she had a good day with her Kingsbridge pals.

Arts Award

Wednesday found Julia catching the bus to Plymouth with the Arts Award group to take part in a workshop day- a professional theatre production followed by a choice of workshops. She had a great day, and met new friends. She will be going to a weekly session in Buckfastleigh to work towards her first Arts Award.

Busyness!

Last week Julia and I spent time on tuesday and friday with Joelle, Marie and Francois, the french family that we met last October half-term. The idea was that we helped them with their english(which is very good) and they helped us with our french(which is not that good!). We had great fun!

Half term

We spent a lovely few days with Hannah,Dan and Sophia. Lydia's plans were upset when the singer she was going to see cancelled with a sore throat! But I think she enjoyed getting together with Molly and co.
The rest of us spent time with the Durdins and also caught up with Daniel and Sarah( check out Phil's blog for climbing pictures!)
While in Porstmouth we bought a new wireless printer, so I can finally print from the net-book and Phil can print Sibelius without plugging in to the downstairs printer! I have printed off some more knitting patterns so that when I have finished Sophia's dress I can make her some more stuff! Also bought fabric to make her some summer clothes!

Julia's work blog

In my efforts to be more organised I am trying an idea that others have mentioned- namely a private blog where I set work for Julia to do each week/day. She can also write on the blog, so she can tell me what she has completed each day/week. Phil can also write posts, he does Astronomy with Julez once a week and it also means that he can satisfy himself that she is actually doing something every day!!
