Ruby’s First birthday


This week we celebrated Ruby’s 1st birthday ❤
Doesn’t she look adorable in her birthday crown!! {we received this gorgeous crown through a craft swap}


There is something wonderful about watching her enjoy mama made presents *happy sigh*

{Although the jacket I was knitting isn’t quite finished… sadly I twisted it ~ first attempt at circular knitting!}

Luckily Nana-ma had made something for her to wear ~ this gorgeous viking hat!!
Just like Daddy’s! Well sort-of… {you can read about our gift giving philisophy here}


Max was sooo excited about her birthday…. He brought her presents to her as soon as she woke up!

And he had saved so he could give her a train… this is so they can use his train set together *smile*

Happy birthday cuddles from our wonderful friend Fraggle!Aren’t they both beautiful xx

Enjoying a lovely new toy from Fraggle

And wahoo! I’m 1!!


And after a long exciting day, enjoying some quiet time cuddles with Daddy ❤

Treasure dough {or super fun play dough}

It had been a while since we played with play dough…
But who could resist the wonderful invitations to play by The Imagination Tree *smile*

…and made a batch of purple, green and orange
…complete with glitter!

Using items from around the house…such as feathers, pasta and googly eyes…
…Dino Boy created and played for hours!!
{The Imagination Tree has many inspiring play dough ideas here}

When Dino Boy first saw the play dough he yelled out ‘Treasure dough!‘
I think the glitter and bits and bobs added so much fun for him!

And while Little Miss Q was a bit uncertain at first…
She ended up enjoying touching and mushing the play dough around…

And days later…. 
the play dough may have changed colour
… but what fun!

Happy crafting, Kelly
