What have you been up to?  The past week has involved much running around to choir concerts, soccer presentations and birthday parties.  I have made Happy Birthdays and hearts to go to Pasadena in the US, a purple wedding garland to go to France and a pretty girl’s name going just down the road.

I found cute things for dress-ups in Op shops for a book parade tomorrow.  We will be Alice, The Cat in the Hat and Thor.  I made an apron for ‘Alice’ because I could not find one – out of a cloth napkin.   We stuffed a knee-high stocking for The Cat’s tail.  I am dressing up as Laura Ingalls Wilder.  Mostly because I found a $6 dress, but also because I completely loved that show as a child.  Don’t tell anyone but I used to shed a tear as she ran over that grassy hill.  I wanted to sit next to Laura in class.  I have put my hand up to read The Jabberwocky to year2/3H tomorrow, dressed as Laura.  Can’t wait.

PS.  That cheeky little guy has found his way into the Vintage Shop.

A sign from my garden that things are slowly warming up.  These Daffodil bulbs were planted in April.  They came from a Tasmanian grower that I met at the Sydney Royal Easter Show.  They are a really hearty bunch by the looks of it.  If you look closely there is a garlic pretending to be a Daffodil.  Came up in line with the others!
