Only 6 days to go before my DD 2nd birthday...! So much to prepare considering I feel like I've been in organisation mode since the start of April! I have yet to make her birthday outfit which will also count as a present. As it's Mickey Mouse Clubhouse themed I'm making her a two piece Minnie Out fit complete with a little handbag :) The outfit will consists of a baby doll top and little shorts in a red with white polka dot fabric with a Mickey Mouse iron-on and the bag will be a mixture of the same fabric as well as black with Mickey's head on the front. The bag pattern comes from the same lady who made the Itty Bitty Dress Pattern I made for Maddison using the cupcake fabric.
Well I hope everyone had a great Easter break! We didn't do too much (as my hubby is not the camping type) - Saturday morning was time for Chinese Qingming Festival http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qingming_Festival which normal falls around Easter, which is a holiday in China where young and old pray before the ancestors, sweep the tombs and offer food, tea, wine, chopsticks, joss paper accessories to the ancestors - we did have a yummy day on Sunday at a friends house who celebrate Greek Easter so they had lots of things on spits and heaps of tasty home cooked meals :) Then on Sunday night I went out with the girls for a bit of dancing and then Monday was a day of rest hanging out with Maddison's Pops house (my Dad).
Ok so the elements to my Belle costume for the hens night are coming together, most of which are off Ebay (love, love, love, Ebay). I have my corset, petticoat, faux bun and I've been to Spotlight so I've got my yellow fabric for my skirt all sorted. I'm also waiting on some braclets and gift boxes (all up the braclets cost me $1.50 each) one each for the girls so it makes them feel welcome - I really feel lost when i go to Hen's nights and I either don't know anyone or the only person I do know hasn't arrived yet. I'll put their name on each one then another tag on the actually braclet with something like "The Sexy Minx!" written on it. Everything seems organised!!
