You will find plenty of Arts and crafts projects you can do with your kids. We also advise on what material to stock up on and how to help your child enjoy the wonderful world of creative play.

Choose the medium and material that you and your child are excited to work with: natural objects such as twigs, stones and leaves, or paper, fabric, clay, paint and so much more.

And please don't forget to email us a picture of your finished artwork. We take pride in what you and your child create and would love to display your creations on our website.

Read about my projects, artwork, illustrations, art classes at the primary school where I teach, the mess, the fun, websites and links I love, and the things I get up to in my free time.

The need to pursue a creative life and the necessity for financial independence have been driving forces behind starting my own business.

This blog is all about my journey of becoming self employed and promoting my business online. It is a series of journals documenting the trials and tribulations of setting up an online business and the many time consuming but essential steps one must take to ensure that the transition from a steady paycheck to no paycheck at all is transitory and carefully planned.

I have been meaning to start this blog years ago after meeting so many talented women who create beautiful things and add so much positive energy to the world through their creative expression. They have inspired me to start Cool Mummy and live my dream.

There are so many women out there who cook, sew, paint, write, read poetry, run their own business, design websites, sculpt, design, play music, dance, and so much more. Whether these women have started businesses around their art form or continue to create for themselves, they have all made their art into a lifestyle choice and have inspired so many people around them.

This blog is to recognize and honour their talent, and hopefully bring them together in a forum where they can all share the wonderful things they do.
