I have had enough today. My head is swirling, my stomach is sore and my children are driving me to nervous breakdown land (it’s real, I haven’t made it up, they have rides and everything). Anyhow despite my ill health and impending nervous exhaustion, I have had quite a busy day. I (husband really) have […]
I love my garden. Really I do. It provides me with a sense of calm, of achievement and joy, and hopefully in a couple of months, it will be providing my family and I with lots of delicious, nutrient rich fruit and veg. How can you garden if you’re disabled? I hear you ask Not […]
Unless you’ve been living somewhere with zero access to (any form of) media, you cannot help but be affected by the horrific images from Woolwich this week. On Wednesday afternoon, Drummer, Lee Rigby, a member of our armed forces, was literally hacked to death on a “normal” London street. This man’s crime? Nothing more than being […]
So today has been pretty cool. First I got an email from this great Arts Centre I approached about the new charity and exhibition space and I got a pretty great response: they could not be trustees owing to the local council upping their rent by 110% and needing to pour all their resources, time […]
“What an odd blog title” I may hear you say. Well not really when you understand the context. No, I’m not really some misanthropic person who wants to end all do-gooding. On the contrary I am setting up a charity due to my son’s disability. It occurred to me after going to a Gateway […]
So I have been a bit quiet again of late. This is because as well as feeling very poorly, I have also been mega-busy. I finally have a new portfolio (not finished yet) up and running. You can find it here: badhofbauer.com I’ve joined a local co-operative and this morning I created an online membership […]
I am interested in words, for a while a lot of my photographic work utilised text. I find its form, shape and meaning all very interesting. It is because of this interest that I decided to go on a hunt, a hunt for “AUT”. Autsim is a word we have come to know well but […]
So as the title suggests it is spring. No, really it is; it’s just pretending to be winter. So in honour of all things new and reborn, I give you…… da da da da. My spring mobile for your pre-schoolers to make! To make this craft you will need: Tissue Paper Foam Letters spelling out […]
I do not usually take part in blog link ups. It’s not that I have anything against them, I don’t. It’s just I’m not a very “bloggy” person. Now this seems ridiculous as I ran a blog alongside Little Doers before costs (the cost to me) made me take the painful decision to close and […]
I have been looking up various things to help with my autistic son’s behaviour of late and came upon the idea of traffic lights systems. The problem is that for what these things are, essentially a laminated piece of card with a traffic light image and some words on, the price is ridiculously high (maybe […]
