Ok, so I was keen to use the latest Studio Calico kit that arrived, but I went against my judgement and used a grey background instead of white and I think the LO suffers for it. It would have felt fresher, more suitable for a three yo than the grey. sigh. Anyway it is done now, and it has been put away so I shan't think about it again. I also used a genuine cupcake wrapper - so cute with spots.
The other girls have done wonders with the sketch, go check it out and then have a go. It's all good fun and we will leave completely brilliant comments (I have discovered so many lovely people through the Dollies) and you get a chance to win some scrummy prizes!!
We had a really good weekend here, Geoff and I took Henry bike riding around the lake and past the wetlands - I love living in Canberra, this is all in the middle of town.
And a small confession here. This may shock some of you (yes Jo, probably you...) but I love watching a)AFL, b) road cycling and c) Formula 1. It comes from growing up with three brothers, you either develop an appreciation or you hate it. Loving it meant I could easily impress the boys when I hit uni (I'm sure Geoff was only interested because I vaguely knew what about the lbw rule..)It has been a good week with my beloved afl team winning (the kids won't be in the same room as me as I shout at the tele alot..). Go hawks.
The Paris- Roubaix bike race was an absolute cracker with a humble domestic winning this year
And It was the best formula 1 race in years, with Mark Webber cutting through the field to come from 18th to third. And Sebastian Vettel didn't win, even better. Ok enough boring you now - although I realise everyone tuned out as soon as sport was mentioned.
Anyway I'll be back tomorrow with the latest challenge at Crafty Croppers. You can still enter for the previous April challenges, so much stuff goes on there, it is well worth checking out.
ok til then xx
