Cupcakes and Flippy Skirts...

I have discovered in the last couple of weeks just how much one can acheive in one's day when one's children climb out of bed for the day at 4.30am, it really is quite astonishing... perhaps I should have always been getting up this early... um no, I don't think so! I do hope it is a phase that will be short lived through the early Summer sunrise, then nipped in the bud very soon after. But for now, it is what it is, and I am trying to make the most of our early starts and get plenty acheived each day.

Yesterday, the girls and I made their little party favours for tomorrow. I had ordered the BasicGrey Cupcake favours, but had thought once they arrived that they were way too small for anything, but we decided to use them. They are quite cute really. I kind of figured that at this time of year, kids don't really need a full size lolly bag loaded with lots of goodies, a few little things works well too, right?

So we wrapped up some yummy jelly beans...

 

Popped in some pretty hair accessories...

 

...and voila! All done. The girls really like them.

 

Once all the washing was done, and the floors were clean, I got a little sewing time and made these skirts, they are part of a little someone's Christmas goodies. I so love these fabrics, a little Alexander Henry and Riley Blake to brighten any little girl's day.

 

These early starts even let me get in blog posts!

Enjoy your week, smiles:) bye for now.

Wishing the girls a very happy birthday today, hope the party was great (as I'm sure it would be!) & that the girls had a fantastic day.
