The Customised Scooter

Roo received a scooter from my parents for her birthday. To girly-it-up a little we bought faux flowers. They were a bit trickier to attach than anticipated, but Roo was happy with the result.

Roo Turns 4!

We decided to give Roo a little party for her birthday this year. She went to a few at the end of last year and has been planning her's ever since!

More Pretty Fabrics!

I just couldn't help myself! I just had to pop back into Spotlight yesterday to pick up some more pretty fabrics. I've been agonising over what to give my friend's twins for their birthday- I've already made them dino tails & tutus & they already have aprons... Mum can't bare the thought of MORE toys cluttering the house...and I just can't hand them money for their swimming lessons....The solution I figure is a cute twirly skirt each. I really love pinks & blues together, especially like this....!

Cute Decoration Panel- (Sugar & Spice Textiles)

For the first time in ages I managed to spend an hour or two wandering around Spotlight looking for fabrics and inspiration for my new Christmas colour theme. For the last two years I've gone with a pink, blue & silver/ white theme but thought it would be fun for Roo & I to choose new colours. There are heaps of new cute designs in Spotlight at the moment and we eventually chose the above for our tree bunting. We also found this panel of decorations to cut, sew & stuff. They are all so fresh, bright & fun- can't wait to make these with the kids!!

Jam Season

It's that time of year again. The strawberries are getting sweeter every week and I'm picking about one kilogram every two days- enough to make a couple of jars of jam each time. Will be gifting these this Christmas, so am feeling pretty organised!
