Summer is around the corner!

I've really been enjoying our time outside, and finally after all these 

April showers the sun has come back out!

It's a blessing having the park around the corner

from our home. Whenever Molly gets a little restless we can just nip out for a walk

and have a little play. Last summer I used to take her on the big girl swings on my lap because

she was too little on the baby ones. Then the lucky girl got to watch mummy do it

all on her own from her pushchair.. she found it hilarious honest!

Now I think she's just glad to have a whole swing to herself.
I love the three of Molly so much I plan to print them and hang them as a series
somewhere in our home. We still haven't been brave enough to hang anything
and we've been here a whole year, time to get hammering I think!

Note: I took these a couple of weeks ago during our incredible heatwave to see more follow us on instagram, search teaandfairylights :)

Baby Hairclip DIY

A DIY for a simple felt hair clip :)

You will need: plain clips, felt or any scraps of fabric, scissors, pins and a glue gun.

Cut your flower shape and pin together, this I think is the most fun bit! Heres a few I had 

a go with. Not all girls like flowers, hearts and bows, you could do animals or camera's or 

anything! I'm making Molly an easter bunny to go in her basket next!

Here's a paper example of how to make the coral flower, it's not very clear but I wanted to

do a quick one on photobooth while Molly has a short nap. Blogging and babies ha!

(ignore the dots I was trying to make it more complicated than it needed to be)

Basically make loads of petals attaching to each other spiraling inward, when you

get to the middle stop cutting and wind it into a flower, glue in place. Pretty easy huh :)

I added a small peach heart to go in the middle because I'm obsessed with peaches and 

corals at the moment! To fix it onto the hair clip just glue gun a little onto the end and 

hold the base of the flower in place. Just need Molly to grow a little more hair now I've

made her lots of pretty clips!

Miss Mox Got The Pox.

Poor Molly has Chicken Pox :( I discovered a spot this morning on her 

forehead and when I took her to her childminders at 8am it turned out her playmate 

got them last night! So far they haven't been to bad for her and like the amazing

 trooper she is she hasn't let them dampen her spirits! I think she is super happy 

she's been able to spend some time with her daddy as he has been kind enough 

to take some time off work to look after her while I finish my last week at uni, 

exams and hand-ins are looming! I have 9000 words to write ASAP! Eeek.

Impeccable timing though to get the dreaded pocks while I get some time off.

I'm so glad I can really focus on taking care for her. Well done Molly!

She had a lovely long bath this afternoon to soothe her, you can just about see the big 

nasty pock I spotted on her forehead. A few more have appeared and I've been putting

 on some chamomile ointment as we go. We've been dressing her in nice soft clothes that

rub as little as possible and as soon as I found out before I drove home I grabbed her some

of her favourite snacks, a new toy to cheer her up and some special soft sun hats so that she

can spend some time outside with her daddy during their day together.

If you have any suggestions to help make this time as easy for her as possible I'd really appreciate

hearing them :) Thankyou.

Over and out from the Pox-Roberts household!
