Grandma's Birthday Tea Party

It's Grandma's birthday and she's having a tea party with her grandchildren.

She doesn't seem to mind that they are naughty.

She bought pretty plates for the cakes and party hats for them all to wear. Ha ha! Poor Grandma, the children are quite a handful!

Here is the pretty party set I designed.

There are paper place mats, plates, party bags, pointed hats, containers for crisps, cookies or sweets and little drinking cups or cupcake wrappers. The sheet has a party set for 6 and if you'd like to make some for yourself leave a message here, then send me your email address if I haven't already got it and I'll send you this sheet.

Let's party!

Kaisa's Little Cradle

I've heard from Kaisa that she received the bedding I made for her so I can now show them to you.

First a tiny mattress

A bottom sheet and pillow

A top sheet

A crochet blanket

And a toy rabbit

The cradle is so tiny it took no time to make these things so I sent some clothes for the new baby as well.

Thank you Kaisa for another enjoyable swap.
Happy Friday everyone!

Ironing - Love It or Hate It?

Have you noticed how quickly an ironing pile can grow? Seemingly without help it begins to climb the wall!

Believe it or not ironing is actually my most favourite domestic chore, when it's done we have rows of clean, wearable clothes - BUT it is so time consuming and makes me hotter than ever when the weather is so warm.
I have neglected my pile for too long so today I'll work on reducing this mountain and make no miniatures.
But to add a little interest for me and my regular followers I will send a small prize to the person who can guess the correct number of garments in the pile! Oh I know how to have fun, don't I?

Boxes of Fabric

After making the box of ribbons I decided fabric was needed to go with them so today I had fun making two boxes of fat quarters. I wish I had these in real life!
When I showed them to my husband  he asked 'How much more stuff can you accumulate?'
I'll show him!

Football is his thing - miniatures are mine.
Bye for now,

Ribbons

Today was my last day of being 'home alone' and I made the most of it. I made printed fabric ribbons on pretty spools and a box to store them. I love all things haberdashery full size and small ones even more.

I'm off to bed early as the drive to the airport takes an hour and a half and I have to be there for 8.30am. Now I must clear everything away and pretend I've been tidy all week! Good night.
