After gift opening we took the girls for a birthday breakfast. Margaux had a little go on her blueberry pancakes, but mostly ate my beans/beef/tomato concoction. We really love Meatcure, and I like to think we know our burger joints. Molly's first birthday here.

Then we went home and made the little fish a Cake! We took loads of videos on Instagram.
The cake was terrible so Molly tried to improve it with Sprinkles..

Neither of the girls ate much of the hideous cake.. that probably says something about how it tasted. Though Molly didn't eat the very lovely slice of red velvet we bought the day before so I'm not going to take it as personally as I usually might ;)

Easter 2012.

Again, last Easter was rather neglected as we were still getting used to tiny newborn Molly,

I had a million hand-ins and we were getting ready to move house. This year we had a little

time so last night I made Molly some little ears! I love them, here's the tutorial, I saw it linked

on Kelli's blog. Next year, or next time we have a dress up night out I shall be making some 

for me too! Molly had a little basket full of treats and little hair clips I've been making her.

Her Aunty and Uncle got her the most lovely personalised egg, and Jamie and I got her a few

mini lindt bunnies. They are my favourite, my mum used to get me one every year :)

(Do excuse my messy kitchen)

Molly had two baths today! She's become rather a messy eater lately, but it did mean she got to

wear two Easter outfits :) We had a few sunday visits planned for friends and family but in the end

didn't even leave the house, though the Easter Bunny struck again in the form of grandparents and

Molly got some more white chocolate! I won't need to get her any pudding for months.

It was nice to make a little Easter effort, I'm going to try a little harder with family days but it's ever so

enjoyable. Right, time to try and sleep as I have a busy week and a lot of writing to do next week.

Universities and babies- who knew it would be such hard work!

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!
