Birthday Wishes and Wardrobe Malfunctions

Finally Sofia is officially four! This birthday seems to be lasting a long time and as she went to bed tonight she even asked if it will still be her birthday when she wakes up!

Happy birthday my sweet girl - and yes I will forgive you for Sunday's wardrobe meltdown when you refused to wear the beautiful new outfit mummy had purchased specially for your party ...

(Before: Beautiful new outfit that did not even see the start of the party as it was too hot and made her itchy)

And went back into the old favourite which yes was much much more comfortable. Not sure whose tantrum was bigger Sofia's or Mummy's (or daddy's for that matter when he realised she did not want to wear the hugely expensive new dress up costume that mummy got in trouble for buying!).

(After: Old favourite Belle costume that is very comfortable and far more practical with all that cake and running around!)

Sweet dreams my birthday girl.

The Pillow Case Dress... Without the Pillowcase!!

Did you sleep ill last night -- tossing and turning over my big project reveal today?!? hehe no doubt ;)

Well, without further ado, here it is!

Yep you guessed it, it's an Easter frock for little Fern. And I added the little pocket rabbit during her 4.5minute naptime this morning. That's why one ear is ludicrously shorter than the other. No time for take #2.

The design is loosely based on a pillowcase dress, though I didn't have a suitable pillowcase, so I guess it isn't a pillowcase dress at all! Fern will model this dress on Easter, or possibly all of next week because let's face it, she probably won't wear it afterward!

What do you think??

ps. I have crafty projects coming out of my ears at the mo - this afternoon I raided the op shops and found some great vintage buttons for an artwork, we're making a whole stack of rabbit softies for the bubs in our mother's group for our Easter soiree, plus there are those damn chocolate Easter eggs I am committed to making. Not to mention painting my bedroom feature wall, and have I even mentioned I need to create a nursery at some point?? I am almost halfway through this pregnancy and am beginning to panic! Where will I find the time??
