Bless that little Birthday babe.......

After a week of illness, high temps, countless doctors visits etc....it was Bens 2nd birthday yesterday.

He was well enough to enjoy the day....not that we did much or that he understood what was happening, but he loved his new toys and beamed at the candles on the cake!!



At the last minute I decided to make him a chocolate cake and he had no sooner blown out the candles then he crashed asleep in the corner of the lounge on a pillow. He has never ever done this before so I couldn't resist taking a photo to tease him with when he is older!!


I have done absolutely NO CRAFTING all week whilst my little bundle of heat has been laying on my tummy!!

So I finally get a day off from being a Mum and have to go the dentist....what a waste of perfectly good crafting time!!


In the mean time I thought I'd tell you about this:



Vanilla Sugar is a new challenge blog that hopes to challenge you to try other craft mediums each month.The aim is to get you to make, sew and craft items for the home or altered art projects rather than the usual cards and layouts! Januarys challenge is to use coasters aka Beer Mats!!

I also hope to catch up on all those awesome Shabby Summer entries ASAP!!

Love and vanilla sugar

awww seeing him asleep in the corner just makes your heart melt - poor wee lamb. Doesn't get better as they get older - as soon as Viki shows signs of being poorly I'm dragging her back home so I can look after her!!!! And shes nearly 30!!!!!

Will check out the Vanilla Sugar site - sounds interesting. Thanks for your lovely comments Ruth - really makes my day xx

You've no idea how the party scene can tire a chap out! Happy birthday little one (I can't believe it's two years since we were waiting for him to arrive).
