Bunting

In the hopes of educating my little sister...
Bunting is;

  • Bunting was originally a lightweight worsted wool fabric used for making flags of the Royal Navy
  • A thin cloth of woven wool from which flags are made; it is light enough to spread in a gentle wind but resistant to fraying in a strong wind;
  • Flags considered as a group;
  • Strips of material used as festive decoration, especially in the colours of the national flag
  • The traditional woolen material from which flags are made.
  • Any fabric used in flag making.

Get the idea??



Or in this case...triangles of fabric that are going to be used to decorate the nursery for Nic and Beau's baby. I've only made yellow, green and red so far...but hope to get the whole rainbow done this week. Of course I've made too many triangels for the length I think I'm going to need...so I think Aden will get some too for his new room.


While borowzing for a picture of bunting to educate my sister I found this cute little birdie...Indigo Bunting Bird.....I love the colours!
I think Aden's bunting will be all blue now...to go with his 'Ocean' theme and inspired by this bird!

The rest might just pop up here for a giveaway...stay tuned!

{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. ...
