Totally Inspired

I have been totally inspired by Helen...again!
This time with her pebble quilting! You can win her mini quilt
on her blog here

So after debating how to quilt my Hungry Caterpillar quilt I decided to pebble around the 3 characters on the quilt...small enough to get my head around but big enough to give it a good go.
So here is it so far... I’m not sure if I’m doing it right.... what do you think??



Backing..looks a little mess but nobody looks at the back right??

I think it looks great! You'll get smoother with practice, but the effect is perfect!

{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.
