Princess Eve

So one of my most recent projects was to make a birthday crown for a friend's little girl who was celebrating her third birthday!

A little bird reliably informed me that her favourite colour was red so I kept it simple with just red and white. This was the result modelled by the birthday girl herself.

Isn't she gorgeous!

I had an post party update from her mum today who said 'Eve loves the crown and it is going to be a favourite from her dressing up box where it now lives!'. Awesome news!

Queen Matilda

On Saturday I was lucky enough to attend not one but two parties! What a lucky girl eh!

The first was for the 5th birthday of a gorgeous little girl called Matilda. It was her first proper 'grown up' party with all her friends, face painting and Mr Marvel to entertain everyone. Needless to say she was VERY excited!

My job was to create decorations, badges for party bags and a crown for the birthday girl. Matilda's mum had decided to use the 'Sweet Treat' range of napkins/ invitations etc so I coordinated with that. This is how it all turned out.

I was pretty pleased with it all especially as the colours worked really well... and didnt Queen Matilda look awesome!

  

N.B. I did try getting some action shots, but as it turns out, excited 5 year olds move VERY quickly! Lol!

One year older...

Happy Birthday to me,
Happy Birthday to me,
Happy Birthday dear Katie.
Happy Birthday to me!

If I owned my own house and had the time to plan such an affair, this is what today would look like… or maybe this, depending on my mood.

As it is, I’m having a sneaky day off work and enjoying a blissfully peaceful flat with pampering and baking indulgence.

(Birthday Carrot Cup Cakes - yum!!!)

To be honest, its nice just not to be in work with the phone ringing and email pinging onto my screen every two minutes. If that makes me seem a bit old, I’m having Mr T. take me out for midweek cocktails later which should reset the 'I'm getting old' balance of things!

Happy Tuesday everyone!
