Crafty Saturday

Had a nothing day at home today...so I got some crafty things done....

Remember way back when I said I would be making an album for Mum's birthday well it is fast approaching so I thought I'd make a start....Each of her children will have some pages dedicated to them....these are her first born's...my big brother


I also had a play around with these charm squares today....I was sick of them lying around and they would've ended up lost or wrinkled....so I sewed them into a square....can you see the mistake I made when I was putting the layout back together....not sure I can be bothered fixing it...I will have to keep an eye out for some more material to go with this to finish off the borders....I was thinking flying geese??

Looks like we both had productive Saturdays. I wouldn't bother changing the charm square, can hardly notice. Flying geese are the edge sounds great. What is the fabric? Moda A Little Romance? I have two of these packs to sew up for my niece. Back to that another weekend. I'm sewing all day today (I hope) projects for friends.
Have a great Sunday.

{3rd Birthday} Octonauts party

Image
It has been a week two weeks since Aden's Octonauts party and I think I have recovered enough to post about it. Special thanks to my sister for gabbing my camera and my MIL and SIL for their cameras, as I didn't take any all day! Aden is a massive Octonauts fan! So when he didn't go for my initial plan of a 'Monsters' Party ( too scary Mummy!) we decided on Octonauts. I did a lot of Internet searching and looking at a lot of Pintrest posts to gather all my ideas together.  There was lots of party food including Octonaut Cupcakes. Cake toppers from Ebay  And a Kwazii cake as requested by the birthday boy! I totally forgot to put on the Octopus I had for his hat!! We also had yellow/green/blue jelly cups with turtles in them and smarties cookies. As well as regular party food and hot finger food for the adults. Mummy wiping Aden's face before having cake photos! We had balloons, a birthday banner and streamers.
