duffy: Haven't got any easel so far. Actually, getting the paint pot is my 1st step into art painting. Hehe.... haven't bot the paints, brush, etc yet. So far, only expose my boy to crayon/pen on paper/drawing block and aquadoodle.
Very much want to start him on painting but at the same time v scared of the mess it'll create. If the paint is washable, think sticking paper on normal walls should do the job, just less professional ;p Don't have much space at home too. Btw, how much is the ikea 1? U thinking of getting that?

 

[duffybuff]

hi rodeo,
ikea selling $39.. http://www.ikea.com.sg/products/product_display.asp?id=192
thinking of getting this..

[sun2flower]

wow today is shopping day

toto,
keke missed your post. aiya, sms me mah.
was out whole day so not online ..
how's your shopping at Kino.


angeline,

oh... not Friday huh...
hmmm let me see, cos now I may need to work on next thurs. see if I can finish my things by wed.
update you again.

rodeo,

if stick on wall, you can stick those big plastic sheet that we use to wrap books kind? then stick the paper onto the plastic sheet. so less clean up on the wall for you?

re: brushes

saw at Forum basement, Twinkle Thinkers, Crayola big brushes going for $2.00. hmmm the cheapest fat brushes I've seen so far.


pawprint,

I went to the shop and exchange the acrylic paint for crayola. heehee but I opened 1 bottle liao, so just use lor, good thing quite easy wash off but its really BRILLANT red! so reeeeedddd

oh paint pots can fit those big brushes.

 

[mum2b]

sorry to intrude.. have been following the thread on painting since i like painting myself. but to my dismay, f is someone who doesn;t like to get dirty with paint stuffs.. she would daintily "paint" 1 stroke then give me the crayon/brush and say "draw", asking me to draw for her.. how ah? wondering if any toddler is like her. should i worry? i'm more enthusiastic than her

sunflower,
the fat crayola brush is also sold $2 in creative hands, taka lvl 4. they also have crayola washable finger paints and washable markers. i got membership card 15% disc if anyone wants to borrow.

 

[mum2b]

mtdt,
can u give me access to ur blog? [email protected]
many thanks!

 

[wwsk06]

mum2B
Think you don't have to worry about F. Just keep showing her how much you are enjoying drawing. It is like the Suzuki violin concept. She will love it eventually. It is great that F has a mom who can paint. This mommy here is art idiot. I am looking out for classes when she turns 3...maybe.

Photography
Anyone know any crash course out there? So far I have been taking bad pix of G, even with auto camera. No high budget though...maybe a couple of hundreds just to show me a trick or two or how to use my camera. Or any semi-pro/pro mommy is willing to take on this student? Eg. how to take pix when kids are moving. The relation bet lights, exposure etc. Maybe if possible, take pix with some depths...I can pay in lieu with nice meals somewhere?

 

[mum2b]

hi wen

no lah, i'm not that great w painting either. n i;m lazy too haha.. thanks, hubby also said cont to show f that painting or drawing is fun.
wow u r so on want to learn photography to take pic of G! me is on point-n-shoot mode, can't comment much.. talking about on the move toddler, i often shoot blank because the model runs away.. once i took pic of shoe rack till hubby scrath head, asking me why? i told him the model runs away

[mtml888]

thanks for the 'goody vibes'...

more than just a common flu or fever!! SIGHHHH!!! it's infected tonsils and the high fever will persist for 3-5 days!! almost had to hospitalized Bren BUT i insisted that i'm still able to feed some food and liquid to him!! (poor boy has enuff of needles!!)

poor baby, hope he gets better soon... practically screamed the entire A&E ward down when they drew his blood! and we had to 'restrain' him!! can u imagine... us 'pinning' him dwn and can't comfort him thru out the ordeal... *HEART WRENCHING*

 

[jacwhl]

[aishite]

Panda

Nice piccies, and the places look so sunny and warm, esp Busselton. A far cry when I was there in Aug.

How was the Redgate Farmstay? Would you recommend it? I have a fren heading there in Feb and she was looking for a decent farmstay for her toddler.

 

[sun2flower]

mich,

sayang sayang Bren. Hope he recovers soon under your TLC..
hugs hugs to you. Take care too.


panda,

WOW!!!! so nice the pics

great holiday!!

 

[jiajia_pauline]

Duffy,
Many thanks for organizing the trial with busybuddies

MTDT,
I really had high expectations of busybuddies cos of their slogan: creative play education. The only thing that I like is how they conducted the crafts session. But apart from this GUG is still d best haha.

 

[pawprint]

oki, I signed up for Playclub Mon in Jan... no news either, will check with them next wk.

 

[mtdt]

paula - haha... at lesat u try and can determine tat GUG is still ur choice.

Maybe their Sat class really not tat good huh...

Panda - WOW!!! NICE PICS! So envy leh!

Busselton Jetty pics looks really good... like v bright and sunny.

 

[snail05]

okipoki
so good... i called JG but i think i m too far away from jan intake, so most likely may not be able to make it.. still trying to think what class to go for ethan..

want to sign up for JWT but next jan the class is 9am, so early.. have to give it a miss.

panda - wow nice pics, the photos r so well-taken.. .. must have a good time there...

Mich
sayang sayang bren.. yeah taking blood from our child is real torture.. the last time when ethan drew the blood, i cried like mad.. haha.. but now come to think abt it it looked abit funny.. mummy n bb crying so loudly haha

 

[dloi]

Mich,
Zillions of kisses and hugs to Bren and wishes him a speedy recovery!

 

[i_panda77]

aishite
can recommend redgate farmstay. It was clean & spacious. Mine is a 3 Bedroom/2 bathroom Luxury Spa Cottage. The master bedroom has a private jacuzzi (dunno spelling). They also provide baby cot & highchair for me. There are 5 cottages (i think) in redgate. The animal (goat, kangaroo, sheep, alpacas) feeding time is at 9am daily. If u need the price, let me know, i need to go back office & dig.

[cutiezayn]

MTDT,
Agreed with Paula, GUG is still better than Busybuddies. But the teacher was quite good not as bad as what Peng and the rest hv mentioned before. Maybe is different teacher again....

 

[okipoki]

Peng,
Yesh, they called me up & am suppose to pay by today if I am keen on their Jan intake.

 

[duffybuff]

hi cutiezyan, puala & angeline,
