Birthday tray

by Sofia   -   in DIY projects  Good things for kids  Party planning

Muutama todella surkeasti valaistu ja pikaisesti napattu kuva Purkan synttäriaamiaisesta. Aamuseitsemältä ulkona on vielä pimeää ja nappasin muutaman kuvan nopeasti ihan lampun valossa ennen kuin herätimme sankarin laululla, lahjoilla ja nallepannarilla.

Just a few photos of Bubble Gum´s birthday tray. I made her a teddy pancake per her big sisters request. The lighting in the pictures is horrible as it was still pitch black outside when we woke her up for nursery with some songs & presents. Please excuse me for that!

Miss Livly

by Sofia   -   in DIY projects  Good things for kids

This year when the pumpkins started to arrive at florists and grocery stores the girls nagged me to get a really big one. So I did get the biggest I could carry (with one hand as my left middle finger was in a splint after an accident at work).  I´m not against pumpkins so why not. We bought the pumpkin for 8 € and then we painted it pink with the girls with some craft paint we already had. I let it dry until the next day and then added a bow on it´s head and drew a face with a marker per Bubble Gum´s instruction ( she basically told me to draw it “a girl´s face, not a scary face”). I borrowed her facial expression from the cute Livly face they use on their hats, dresses and robes so we named the pumpkin head miss Livly. On a separate note, I visited Livly´s store in New York and it was so pretty ( and I saw the robes there that I really loved!)! Kudos for them!

But back to the pumpkin. It´s an easy and inexpensive way to turn a pumpkin in to something cute and for us the pink colour looks a lot better in the girls room than orange would. Now it sits on their dresser and sleeps ( Bubble Gum again ” but mamma, why did you draw it like that, now it´s sleeping all the time.”). But they still loved sleepy miss Livly!

Happy Birthday Bubbalino

by Sofia   -   in Good things for kids  Party planning

Tänään meidän suloinen pikku Purkkamme täyttää viisi vuotta! Olen aina syntymäpäivien tienoilla erityisen sentimentaalinen. Mutta toisaalta niin iloinen ja onnellinen!

Little baby Bubble Gum is 5! Hurray! ( … and a little sentimental sniff too)
