March Birthday Girl Update

Was in London yesterday for the Anglo/Belgian monthly meeting so spotted some gifts for Leen & Celine...... I like the tops from John Lewis with the Fiesten bicycles on as bicycles are so much a part of Belgium life..

Celine is 3 years old and has started Nursery school so it was good to spot this action book on I'm Starting Nursery in Waterstones Trafalgar Square.. When I visit we can have some fun using all our language skills with this. Tomorrow is World Book Day  and I have always ensured lots of fun books for Family Link Up.

Lovely the way the school teachers have a birthday celebration with the kids and yesterday was Celine's Birthday Queen day..
Happy Birthday lovely little big lady! Looking forward to having time with both of the girls again. 

Today in the post just received my order from my Twitter link up to ZebraMingo Crafts  I spotted the Lion and Zebra wash bags that Kristel had just made, so thought these would be good for the girls for taking washing products to school to freshen up .. or they may wish to keep their pencils in-I will leave it for them to decide. 

I have also been busy making another blanket for the girls as Leen was telling me over skype they like the other blanket... it is good to make us feel linked up.

Art Update

Realised we are getting to the end of the month and I have not updated you.  I have been busy with a course on languages plus studying & attending meetings. But resting too as I am preparing to visit Boshra and the girls next month, March.  We have Celine's 3rd birthday, my birthday some ???? old go on will tell you 66.. and of course we have the date for the feedback from the Royal Academy to see if Boshra got through to the second round of judging.  She has been showing me some interesting work over the last few weeks..This evening she has sent me these photos of what is happening now... I thought with the paints out  all over the floor that the girls must be asleep. Leen is but Celine is not lol and is creating her own style as she gets the artist mood too... Bless her those colour dots you see below are now all over the paper in a mix of the colours from an action video just sent :-) 

I will be taking 2 bags of Acrylics on my journey in March from Bovilles closing down sale too. But our fund raising will be ongoing till we can turn this art into a commercial venture that will build Boshra's life as a recognised artist.  We need to develop many ranges of products from her art to help her.  Her social worker is impressed with her work when she visited her apartment and saw all her canvases and the art college too like her work.

Today has been an interesting day as on my way home from visiting my eldest daughter Debbie I took a different bus route home. I met a Syrian lady she had been concern over me as I was in obvious pain with my arthritic knees so that got us talking.. her in little English with her children translating.  She is one of the UK quota of refugees that have been settled here.  Turns out she is close by to me.. So told her about my Family Link Up and invited her to visit me anytime and then we can skype to Boshra for them to make friends and chat in Arabic together. I hugged this lady as from my Family Link up I know how much her and her family have been through. Those words LINK UP are powerful..

Welcome the month of Love

Love this table of flowers to welcome February found in my facebook newsfeed.  Would love to be preparing a Brunch for all my Family ... with a table of spring flowers like this.. and lots of happiness.. 

Today been to Uxbridge to see if there was any last minute bargains from Bovilles closing down sale.  The shop has to close this week and is looking so sad emptying out... 
But I have managed to get some high quality Acrylics today at 75% discount.. so a darn good bargain was telling the owner he may be retiring but he is helping Boshra rebuild her life as young woman with a family.
The effects from this Golden range are impressive Golden Paints

Save the Planet School Concert

Yesterday I had felt adrift with a dark dull day here in London.... I was missing getting out and about to see the family and have fun with our learning sharing. I had had a visit from my neighbours granddaughter and that was nice as she loves listening about Leen & Celine.  Then last night there was a flurry of cute photos and short films came into my messenger. On Friday the school had put on a concert to "Lets Save the Planet!" for the parents. So cute... little sister Celine and her class were in the show.... as a fish bless her. I am so impressed with the teachers as they had the class singing songs, doing all the dance and manoeuvres. There was a sweet moment when Celine came on the stage and spotted her mum and dad so was waving lol waving her fin hhhh You have to remember she is still 2 yrs old will be 3 at the beginning of March. But for those following our story you will remember how as a baby she was very determined.. remember the reach for the ball with her legs up in the air on her belly determined to get it. And she walked at 9mths like my eldest daughter! Leen was in the play but not sure what they were I think seaweed... she is a born performer too as I watched as her & her class came on the stage and took their places. Leen kept in the opening pose till the cue of the music and teacher....  In the film footage I love hearing the parents giggling in pride at the children and enjoying every minute... 

On the subject of the planet.. On Friday I had been skyped by Dante their uncle in Turkey and he had been showing me the lovely day from the rooftops with the sunshine but a cold winter day.. We had been enjoying this and chatting about the young boys Mohammed & Hamid both up to toddler mischief!... then 4 hours later news came through of an Earthquake in Turkey.. He messaged me to reassure me that he and the family their were OK and he was busy checking on others in the community. Ever the carer and like a social worker among his community.  All to remind us all that the young generation have a lot to do to undo the mess we are making of this one planet home Earth and how the Earth needs love and respect. It is the only place we have and full of beauty if only we would treasure that beauty.

Artwork style develops

•⊰✿Art Materials Fund•⊰✿

Over the last few evenings I have been watching this wonderful colourful art developing as Boshra sent me updates and little films of her work.   The colours from the closing down sale bargains I have purchased from Boville & Wrights in Uxbridge. I have been posting packages of the art materials and so impressed with the fast post! But so sad we are losing the art shop. The work Boshra is producing is fascinating me and her lecturer at the Kunst Academie an Zee... I hope between us all we can get her life rebuilt through art. It is helping her so much with the healing creative and expressive energy... that is good.  The little videos I get she will have her favourite Arabic songs on and the plastic sheet out over the floor to turn the apartment into a studio... and all while the little Princesses are asleep. So relaxing to see and hear... love the sharing with me as helps me too! I would love to have more help to get her art materials dear readers, if you could help that would be wonderful. But I will always find a way from the little I have to help this young woman succeed for her family!
I have submitted her earlier work to the RA so that is in the pipeline to be judged. We will get to know if she is through to the second stage in March. I have booked to go over to Belgium with the Eurostar January seat deals for mid March to bring over her work if she makes it through to the second round of judging.  

Yesterday was truly a Family Link Up as I had gone into Ruislip to discuss framing Boshra's selected pieces for the RA. Bovilles no longer able to offer any framing had recommended the shop in Ruislip.  I went by Metro from Uxbridge but on the return spotted a U1 bus to Uxbridge so jumped on this and was surprised at the Uxbridge college stop, my granddaughter Olivia got on the bus -  her lectures finished early... How Kismet was that...?! so we had another look at the Bovilles sale together.  We chose these materials below with some coloured pencils for the girls too. All 50% off! We have chosen some florescent colours as there is a new technique out of creating uplighting glowing effects on faces, so thought Boshra may like to experiment with this idea.  The other fun thing that happened was at the framing shop another grandma came in and asked if there were any mount off cuts for her granddaughter - when I asked for more on this it turns out the shop gives free off cuts of the mounts and the students are using these for their art classes as mini canvases... So I got some for Errin, my youngest granddaughter that is into the Manga Artwork...These I was able to give to Olivia to take to her! Family Link Up is that link up!  :-)

Happy Birthday Princess Leen

Our lovely Princess Leen is 5 yrs old today.

Lovely that the school puts on a party for her. I have cute film footage of them all singing Happy Birthday to her in English and then wishing Happy Birthday in Dutch. So looking forward to visiting again and love the multi linguistics.  I have this morning been working on some French to English to Dutch fun exercises for my next visit. In Belgium it is so important to be able to speak these three languages; and then with her Arabic this makes her my little BIG Professor of Linguistics :-)  Eurostar have had January sale bargain seats so I have booked to go mid March for my birthday and Celine's, she will be 3yrs then and me ....well over the sixty five mark and moving closer to.... but not reaching as yet 70yrs (how did that happen!) ... The timing will be good as if Boshra has got through to the second round of art judging at the RA then I will need to bring her submissions back to London for framing and presentation.
