My Weekend In Pictures...

So much happened this weekend, it was crazy. It would be way too long if I posted everything, and you know the old saying about a picture and a thousand words...

Saturday 9.30am:

Eddie's First Birthday Party.

He wasn't sure about the cake.

Understandable really. But it was my first proper cake effort. Ollie was stuck with cupcakes for his first and second birthdays.


Cake tasted ok though.




Still not sure about the look of that whale.





Sunday: 8am - 1pm

The BabyBird Stall - Boutique Markets at Portside Wharf

Monster Softies.


Personalised Singlets.



Lots and lots and lots of shorts.



Hats.



The Stall.



Sunday afternoon 3pm - 5.30pm - Doggy Playdate.

(Guess who took the camera, but forgot the card?)

Pictures taken when we got home. Sandy, wet, tired (Lola) and not tired (Harry).



Now I need a weekend to get over my weekend.

The End.

Tis The Season...

... To neglect my blog. Sorry blog. So much going on though, I'm sure you understand.

We had our first Christmas Party on the weekend. Just a little get together with our very good friends (who are also our neighbours). It's so special to have such great friends just over the fence. Another added bonus is they have two daughters, their first is only a month younger than Ollie and their second is only 3 months younger than Ed. We've been able to go through pregnancy, birth and all the little milestones that come after - together, it's so nice to share something so important with someone who completely understands.

We shared yummy food, like this icecream cake that I *cough* made for the kids *cough*

We opened presents with the kids...

We drank a lot of syrupy sweet Limoncello that had been brewing away in my kitchen for a month or so.

And then, after the kids were sleeping peacefully....

We Wii'd! We Wii Wii Wii'd all the way home :) It was a great night.

Ah, the challenges...

I am currently sewing up a storm for my BabyBird Party on Sunday, which is a challenge in itself. Well, this week it's being made even more difficult by my darling angel Eddie, who decided that he might attempt to cut four teeth at once. Yes, four teeth. True to form, he isn't taking the whole thing too badly, but his usual sleep times have been cut short - which means more stops to make snacks/play with/cuddle/amuse. This in turn means that Ollie has to join in and results in very little sewing getting done.

Oh well, these are the days of my life.


PS More info about the party can be found here.

PPS I have a big announcement that will be made at the party, which I will then share with everyone else next week.

A Few Little Things

Woah, busy times here right now in the lead up to Christmas. So I have a few little things to share with you. Firstly, there is a BabyBird Clothing Party in the making. It will be held within the next couple of weeks and I will have some specials and new bits just for my party goers. So watch this space Brisbanites...

Now, due to the unexpected success of the Christmas Shorts at Mathilda's, I have unfortunately sold out and was unable to get more fabric. So sad, because it was so gorgeous. But, I have a little bit left that I have used for some singlets and just added to my madeit store.

But wait, there's more! I found some more gorgeous Christmas fabric on the weekend, so all is not lost! It's a really lovely aqua blue and features little Santas, so is perfect for boys and girls. So I've added those new sets to my madeit store, along with a couple of other new singlets. And, as a special little Christmas Bonus, I'm offering free postage on the 'Ho Ho Ho' Shorts and Singlet sets until Christmas.

Peace out.
