March

So last year in March, we made.......

....some more name bunting....for Finley! (Who, if you hadn't guessed, is an Everton Fan!) So I got the chance to try out some embroidery skills. You'll see my progress as I try again, and again, throughout the year! And in March, we also made......

A 'blue' third birthday cake! Ok, I know it's not really blue (On asking Ezra what sort of cake he would like for his birthday, he replied (abstractly) "a blue cake") Yes, I know I could have used blue food colouring. But I'm not a fan of food colouring, and I'm not a fan of blue food (is there any naturally blue food?!) ...so I put it down to the primitive instincts that made me reject a blue coloured cake. So I took the abstraction even further and made a "blue"-berry cake. He was very pleased with it - I think he got the "blue" connection (even though, blueberries aren't really blue...more black/ purple).... and he loves blueberries so job done! Finally in March, I made.......

A pair of shorts for Ezra! The lovely ladies at St Francis craft group showed me their tips for taking short-cuts ('scuse the pun)....and these were made, start to finish in 2 hours. This shows me how long ago it has been since I blogged.....he's grown out of them now....so they are folded up ready for his keepsake box!
