Celebrate....

Its been just over a week but gee it was great!
The paddocks were transformed....

Friends and family came from afar...


The kids had a blast.....





There was plenty of music.....

And dancing....
Well into the night...


All to celebrate this beautiful man's birthday....

Happy Birthday Timmy xxxooo

In other news... those who know me well, will know that Im a full time career girl these days , with very little time to craft. That being said, one sure way to get this mama fired up is to send little 6 year old preppy home, with "some other mothers" hand made craft. Ok, ok I know they were doing the right thing by said preppy, but oh how it broke my heart. It did however spur me on to create a very special library bag for Meggy.


So with some fantastic directions from here, Thankyou Niki, this is what I came up with....


I found a great tutorial, to enable me to applique the 'Meg' detail, here (no where near as good as Christies but not bad for a first go)

and some gorgeous rosette embellishements from this book (I will try to remember to post the link tomorrow).

Not a bad job for a grumpy mum.
Ciao for now.
