A Little Family

The end of year.

Kirst — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 03:50:26 +0000

It is that time where we wonder where the year has gone a worry about all of the things ahead of us in December. I have stated my December by making Thank you presents for Lachie’s teacher and teachers aid, next is Christmas clothes for my little people ……. well after I clean the house.

The message around the top reads “Thank you for helping me grow. Lachie Little 2010″ . I gave them a blue sky some grass and flowers along with Lachie’s hand prints for clouds.

it has been a while……

humm I am really not sure what I have done in the past six months? Thats right bridesmaids dresses, well strangely enough I have not done to much since then. I have a few larger projects in the works at the moment but until then I thought that I would share with you a couple of things that I have made

Some flowers made from patty papers that I made with my little people.

making sure that I take time to smell the flowers with my little people

Changing a old favorite.

jam drops with a twist

Lachie’s 4th Birthday

My son Lachlan was 4 on Tuesday and after a month or two of ignoring his requests for a green dragon cake, I bit the bullet and gave it a go. Not too bad of an effort I placed the 4 candles around the dragons smile.

and a cake for day care

Sorry I have been slack

I know that I have not blogged much this year, so far the year has been pretty busy. I have made a couple of things lately that I thought that I would share, yet another Library bag. I really love the bright pink and blue together I might have to use it again Rach has a new parir of overalls which are huge on her, they may fit next year

Next one the list of things to do is bridesmaids dresses, please scream with me! So there may have to be preogress photos with those as I will be taking my time Oh and I almost forgot, not sure how but I finally found the bunny cookie cutter that I have been looking for so I am super excited and looking forward to making bunny cookies for Easter like the Raindeer cookies from Christmas Fingers crossed they look something like the vison in my head LOL

A Little Big Girl Room

About a month ago I purchased a toddler bed for Rach, she did not cope very well with its presence at the start. Even trying to push the bed out of the room Well time has pasted and she is now enjoying her big bed and the story’s at night time. Today I pulled the cot apart and now she has her Little Big Girl room but then she is a big girl.

And of course some photos, I did not take any photos of the wardrobe.

Yes I know that it has been a while, sorry I forgot to take a photo of the last project it was a very cute library bag. Anyway nothing too creative has bee happening here I am in the middle of making some new house frocks for my grand mother. Once they are out of the way I think that it might be time to start getting some things made for winter. And I know that every one loves photos so here is one of the Granny frocks

Making Raindeer

for those who wanted to know, they are upside down ginger bread men, I am not a fan of ginger bread so I used the stained glass cookie recipe http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/551/glass+window+biscuits+england the eye whites are white chocolate the nose is a jaffa that is held in place with a blob of chocolate underneath and the antler are just piped chocolate. Just use a zip lock bag to pipe the chocolate.

and a photo to show that they are upside down men

Reindeer cookies

Kirst — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 13:02:48 +0000

I saw this great idea on facebook for Christmas cookies, I am not a big fan of ginger bread so I used a stain glass biscuit recipe instead. THe little people and I are off to play groups Christmas Party tomorrow and we have to take a plate of Xmas themed food I think that it is the first time ever we have been ready to go the night before normally it is a mad dash to make some thing that morning, anyway here is our plate of cookies ready to go.

I just noticed the crossed eyed one at the front
