Half term featuring fossils, sunshine, sunsets, a strawberry moon, birdsong, wildlife watching? oh and ending with me full of cold and little A getting a visit from the vomit comet…all about balance

Had a really interesting afternoon at @CatalystSDC learning about forensic anthropology and having a go at reconstructing a face, working from the skull and then adding each of the muscles. It was really hard though!

Messing about in the kitchen in the name of explaining chylomicrons….secretly having lots of fun doing this! Here I present some pretend plasma with a pretend chylomicron top made with stuff from the cupboard/fridge

Little A and I have been making a board game together called enchanted challenges. A roll to move game with a few mystery cards & some sleeping dragons that wake up and chase you around the board. It’s been a challenging make but we’ve had a great time testing it this afternoon!

Get it! I’m saying that as someone with terrible/brilliant taste who has already bought one. It goes with my smug Dalmatian stapler

I made a thing, with my daughter to house a poem about the dilemma of whether to keep a cardboard box or not! Do you feel the same or does it go straight in the recycling?

Took a nose dive this week and my lungs need a rest so I didn’t move from my sofa nest yesterday. But I needed a little something to do so I picked up a half started project, quite a good one with #RedNoseDay today! Components from @Kitronik #etextiles #toymaking #weeknotes

Finished and guess what?……it doesn’t scan. I don’t think it’s anywhere near crisp enough between colours. Need to have a ponder for what to try next. #weeknotes

I won’t know if this is going to work until it’s finished, yikes! So far I’ve tried 3 different types of crochet and think this intarsia method is going to work the best. But, as I’m doing it I’m wondering if crocheting in back/front loops only would be cleaner? #weeknotes

I’ve roped in a helper to test out my @HaltonMakeFest activities. Are you coming along? We’ll be using physics to make a climbing bug and to test your strength against some exercise books!

Hello! I’m Nicola, today I opened a new notebook and wrote down all of the things I’m working on and what I need to do to finish them plus ideas for future projects. But before I did that I did procrastinate by making a sticker for my notebook #MakersHour
