Phew! How is everyone doing? I'm wondering when Christmas became so busy? When I became a Mother I suspect...A couple of weeks ago, I (foolishly?) asked Isla if she would like me to make her anything special for Christmas. She requested a tutu. Ok. A lime green one. Okaaaay... With flowers on it. Right.
So I dutifully purchased some tulle and organza in the aforementioned shade of green and looked at it for ages and held it up this way and that and eventually attempted a tutu, which, literally, fell flat. Three attempts later I was beginning to worry. Until I read this lovely and well timed post, and the link within it, and I was happy again.
The flowers come from a lei which I bought from the $2 Shop, and carefully dismantled. I'm quite pleased with the results.
What do you think?
There are a couple of other things I'm quite pleased with today. My 2009 Diary (2009 can you believe it?) from the lovely people at K.Kurtovich. I do like to support New Zealand Made, and I love the striking image of the Hei Tiki.There's something so refreshing to me about the blank pages of a new diary and a new Year. 2009 will see Liam and My 5th Wedding Anniversary, our baby Kyan turning 1, Isla turning 3, friends having new babies. 2 weddings (at least!), and who knows what else?
These people. Apologies for the blurry pic and the terrible light. I'm blogging after the children are in bed, exchanging peace and quiet for decent light! They look much more fabulous in real life, but you get the gist.
Wooden toys from the op shop, bought for a song.
And, this stuff, bless it, from these wonderful, wonderful people. Kyans' gums and I are eternally grateful. I'll be back with a recipe tomorrow.
The tutu is awesome in lime green! Christmas does get extra busy with kids, but it's also extra fun. xx
