Losing the control-freakery...
Thank you for all the comments on my poll below.
But today I branched out – I did fabric painting. Even better than that I invited Adam’s true-love (well, one of them – he seems to propose marriage about once a week at the moment – each time he swears that he’s never going to change his mind… ) and her brother, her mother, and her mother’s partner. And I let my children have a go. (I find this sort of thing soooooooo stressful – but because there were other adults around, so I had to behave myself, I basically let Ruth get on with it… and she produced this:
– and I absolutely love it.
Adam did this:
(with some more assistance, but he was allowed to do some of it himself)
and he started this:
(and I finished it off, and printed this: 
on the reverse).
The verdict? Good messy fun. (But next time J’s mother and I intend to do it in an evening, with no children, and maybe there’ll be wine involved… )

These are so beautiful! And you are a brave mum to let your kids loose with fabric paints. I’m not so brave just yet… :)Tracy WW () (link) - 29 January '07 - 16:07

they bypass me and ask Daddy. Speaks volumes.
