Kids Parties and Other Fun Things

For at least two months Samantha has repeatedly asked to have all her friends around for a party. I kept saying the next school holidays. Well today was the last day of the two week Autumn holiday.  And we had a party. We decorated, we bought party favours and bubbles, we did the hokey poky and played Simon says and made masks. Unfortunately I was so busy herding 8 little people in organized chaos and chatting in Chinese to the Mummy's that I only remembered to take one picture.

So here they are in their fabulous masks.

We were short by five friends, two being down south at their Nan and Pop's, two were in Taiwan with their Wai Por and one had an unwell Mummy who couldn't make the drive. 8 was quite enough to be merry with.

There was enough food, the two with bad allergies had no reactions, nothing was broken and there were only minor injuries so all up it was a successful day.


This should be a separate post but time to sit down is rare and far between so here are some photos of recent sewing projects.

The blue and red bag was a quicky made from two left over quilt squares, it was great but two small for a Mummy.

The pleated bag is brilliant, with two inside pocket it hold everything.

The two skirts don't look impressive in the photo but I am pretty impressed with the fit, they have darts and a side zip.

This skirt I made in November, it's one of my favourites.

I love this cape but Samantha is not so sure about it. If she doesn't like it we might give it away.
