Hit by the party bug.....

On a 'bug' topic unrelated to the heading of this post my little one took a whole week to recover from that nasty tummy bug so alas blogging was off my list for the last week. Hubby and I have also been sick so its been a bit of a house of misery here. My intended posts on persian rugs and my kitchen shelves will have to wait a few more days!!!

Today I thought I'd do a quick post to share the creative genius that is my sister. She hosted her daughter's (my niece's) 1st birthday on the weekend. Charlotte is 7 weeks younger than Mila so it was only 7 short weeks ago that I was in the thick of this myself. At the time my sister politely told me she thought I was "mad" for going to so much effort and as she put it she would be having "only sausage rolls at Charlottes", to which I just chuckled and said "wait till you get hit by the party bug....it will happen".

I noticed the party bug creeping in a few weeks ago when she mentioned casually that she may have a garden theme given that Charlotte has always been our little ladybird. Well here is her little garden themed party (and yes there were sausage rolls too).....

The kiddie table

The ladybird cake

Garden gnomes

cupcakes

toad thingys (can't remember what they are called)
