Three IS the Magic Number

Well, Iris's third birthday was a runaway success. There was copious cake and jelly and fun. Phew. Now I just have to get through Christmas.

Here are a few of my favourite photographs from a rather epic weekend...

Sporting the birthday crown at breakfast time.



A rare glimpse of the sun on Saturday morning.





Leaving up the play tent indefinitely.





We spent a long time today making thank you cards. Iris made all the geometric ones herself using some stickers I bought from a stationers. Aren't they good? I rather love them. And I also like the ones she painted on too (mixed media!)



Now this week, I have to get back into doing some of my own work and I also have a chance to get my plates stocked somewhere really really terribly exciting. I will reveal all when it's been made a bit more official. FINGERS CROSSED.

Looks like Iris had a good day the minimads have the same tent!!

She is obviously artistic too, like mother like daughter.

Good luck with the new venture

Yes it was indeed wonderful - I can't believe you haven't put any pictures of the awesome wobbly rabbit jellies up! Thanks again, the girls had a blast - they all looked so sweet tucked up in Iris's bed at the end.

I am very excited to hear about your plate news!

Flora said...

Oh, and we got those stickers the other day too - I immediately thought of you when I saw them!
