Treasure Tuesday on Wednesday............



Sorry for no post yesterday. The day seemed to get away from me and then all of a sudden it was 10.30 and there was no way I was sitting down and writing a post about new finds. I had thought about what I was going to write all day but alas at that hour bed was calling and it won over. Anyway the new finds for this week are kids blogs. I think we are discovering them because my children are now spending a bit more time on the computer looking at what interests them(no different to me).I am going to list a few that we all like to read and included are my childrens blogs.

Django's Cute club!
Juliette's Toko's Adventures.

The others-

I know alot of these centre around the Blythe doll but I think it has the kids thinking about a whole heap of other stuff. It gives them a place to practise their photography skills, create craft and show it off, write and learn about the computer & the world of the internet. In our household writing these blogs is also helping the kids to write and read in English. It is a kind of learning even if they don't realise it.

You can have a look at these links or if your kids are interested in blogging it is a world of inspiration for them. good luck and I hope you have a few hours spare because you will need it!!

Long distance...............


Two people doing a long distance blog..............I just love it! One person on this side of a country, one person on that side of the same country, overseas friends with the same interests, people taking pretty photography. They are all so good for lots of time wasting while drinking your favourite tea/coffee. I know bloggers have been doing this for ages but I love discovering new ones and today I have two for you.


LolliTams

Maybe oneday if the opportunity came up I would like to do something like this. How about you?????

Perfet parcels................

Parcels, parcels, parcels. We all love a parcel arriving in our letter box or at the post office in my case. I was reading through all my blogs this morning when I came across Tinniegirl talking about all the things she had received over the last little while. I was sitting there thinking I hadn't got any surprises of late but was expecting two and hurray here they are freshly picked up this afternoon. First one was a wee purchase from Ms.badskirts and she threw in a lovely bunch of extra stuff. Thank you very much Amy.

The other was some books from Amazon. The Weekend Sewing was purchased on retromummy's recommendation. She has made loads of stuff out of it and loves it. I am about to sit down with a cup of tea and look through it. The 2nd book is about Marie Antoinette. I have a new found interest in her life and the times she lived in. This has been on the list of books to buy for a while.

Thirdly do you count buying a PDF from a seller on Etsy a surprise parcel. It was in my inbox this morning. I got a copy of this from JC handmade who I have just recently discovered. She is a mamam of twins also.

Ok I have plenty to do now so I am off to read, sew and learn a bit more history.
