Today was Oscar's 5th birthday party (my divine nephew). His party was at home (his house) and there was an abundance of cute food to help celebrate:
A digger cake made by his Mummy.
Cute spider cupcakes that were delicious!
Racing car biscuits...brrrrmm brrmmm.
Teacups (made by me).
Cute streamers for decoration.
The birthday boy himself.
Miss Bonnie.
Party games.
Dancing. Bella's sweet flower brooch was a gift from the lovely Catherine.
More party cuteness.
Bella and her cousin Kate (she's over visiting from the mainland, yay).
And every big five year old needs a special present! This was my gift, a fabric car mat (one of my projects in Australian Home Sewn magazine). It was heavily inspired by a car quilt that I found in a Japanese craft magazine, but that one had curvy roads, ponds and trees. I kept my version nice and simple with straight roads. I fell in love with the Japanese fabric as soon as I saw it, I knew it would be perfect for Oscar, he's mad keen on trucks and cars! I've heard via the grape vine that he's been playing with it this afternoon after the party - so happy that he loves it !!
Happy birthday darling, we love you so much!!
P.S. Thankyou so much for all the lovely comments about Helen's crocheted blanket - I'll get back to you tomorrow with the questions that you asked :)
