Furnishings for the Nursery!!

After weeks of frustrated mindless searching...I've finally found the fabric for the Nursery!! And best of all DH likes it too!! Shock horror!!

I'm making a version of this for the cot quilt. The original is too big so I will have to choose some of our favourite blocks and adjust the sashings to fit. Shouldn't be too hard and shouldn't take too long...I hope! I'll be able to use fabric from my stash for most of it and some of the green, yellow and orange fabric below too.


This is what I've designed for the bedside table...I'm still not 100% sure about it...but I like the 'snail trail' blocks making waves...possibly just around the outside though with the shell fabric running down the middle. And purple binding from the fabric below.



And I found this turtle fabric for the 2 Nappy stackers I'm going to make. I wanted one purple and the other blue...but DH doesn't like the purple..he thinks it doesn't 'go' with the sea theme and wants the yellow instead. I'm thinking he just doesn't want it too 'girly' just in case!

Can I get them all made in less than 12 weeks??? Of course!

{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. ...
