my creative space - birthday celebrations

So, what have you been up to? 

 Last weekend was huge for us, actually all last week was, I have so much to blog about, and yet no time to share it!

I made B's birthday crown...was quite pleased with how it turned out, my first attempt at embroidery, or at a crown for that matter...a chain stitch for the 'B', and some lazy daisy's on the side.  I used beautiful quality 100% wool felt from Germany...you can get that from Lyrebird in Hobart.  Making it double thickness, meant that it was a bit more stand upish.

 A party in the park is where you can keep things simple....

Morning tea, a treasure hunt, teddy bear toss, and bubbles...and of course the older kids played cricket.    I strung out some longish bunting, but forgot to take pics of that!

My only regret is not hanging out any balloons....I think I was trying to make an eco statement, but really next year I am going to try and get some biodegradable ones in time!

who's a tired little girl now?

Pop over to Kirsty's, won't you?... for other 'my creative space' posts other peeps are making!

(As I write this, I am pretty sure that my little girl has another uti, so we are dashing off to the doctor's in a few hours; more mother guilt x.)
