...................We have had Caitlin's third birthday last Friday (10th August).
Caitlin in her new gardening outfit we bought.
........and of course we cannot forget Liam!
think he was being called in to put shoes on!
Made Caitlin this cardigan which cost virtually nothing! It was made from left-over King Cole Splash yarn used in other projects and I have enough blue to make Liam one.
Made Caitlin and Liam four 24" cushions and two toy bags from their old curtains!
Put my doubled-up magazines on eBay
Made some Scotch Eggs and Sausage Rolls
and Lemon Tart
(both recipes can be found here)
Restored this Dolly bed which is now in Sally's shop.
The bed was waxed with Lavender Wax Polish instead of being painted, the mattress is covered in ticking and I made the little quilt, the sheets and pillow case was made from an old pillow case, and the blanket from a piece of fleece fabric, and a finishing touch of a little Lavender Heart hanging from the bed head.
Love the little bed and its own little quilt. Wish I had a little girl to make things like that for (or maybe not!) Love The gardening outfit too especially in the top photo where the pinny is rather low on her body! So cute. Three is a lovely age as I recall.
