Around the Block 2

It is probably bad manners to leave the organisers blocks til last, but it wasn't intentional. I had all the enveloped stacked up and just worked through the pile as I found an hour here or there.

(Sorry about the photo quailty - these were taken quickly this morning before posting as we were running late for swimming lessons!)

Sheridan's blocks are on their way home now. I had it in my head that I had til September to finish these blocks. I did! The 1st of September not the end as I had thought. So I'm posting them off 6 days late...but not too bad as I have finished all the blocks and am 6th (out of 11) to finish.

I have only received 5 of my blocks back so far....which is a little disappointing to see....maybe my block was too hard??
I liked the thought of trying something new in things like this and I'm sure I wouldn't have even attempted most of these blocks had I not done it in this bee.

They were all fun to make though and I like playing with all of the different fabric combos that the others decided to use.

I've Linked back to Quiltstory for Fabric Tuesday

I really enjoyed making your block and didn't think it was very difficult - your instructions were great and really easy to follow. I think it looks much more difficult than it really is. I too enjoyed the variety and colour combinations that we all used - love seeing all of your together in the mosaic.

I am pretty sure you will receive all your completed blocks back, but if for any reason you don't I am happy to make an extra one for you.

{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. ...
