Sing a rainbow

laymon — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 16:18:44 GMT

As you all know, Rheya is having a rainbow/artist themed party at the beginning of next month. Well she needed a very special dress for such an occasion, so I begged Amanda (kitschycookids) from Kitschy Coo to make her a dress. I had planned to make her one myself, but if I'm honest, I just don't have the time.

Amanda very kindly agreed to make Rheya's dress...oh yes, Cinderella will go to the ball.

And in honour of Kitschy Coo we're having jaunty photos too (and yes I know they are nowhere near as good as Amanda's)

I absolutely adore the way she's incorporated the orange with the use of a sash....genius!

Rheya is very much in love with her new dress.

Jumping for joy

This just shows the colours a little better. I thought the bottom panel was dark blue (from Amanda's pics on her blog) but it's actually purple...not sure if this shows it better really, it's hard to capture on camera.

Anara all tuckered out at the end of the party, she got herself comfy on Mel's couch :)

I did start putting them in order but flickr mixed them up and now I'm bored flicking back and forth

Walking and eating with Steph and co.

Today we were invited (by Steph) for a walk followed by nice food. I'll let the pictures do most of the talking, I can't bare to look at the PC screen for too long, I think I need some new glasses.

Getting ready to set off...today we wore Robert and my new wrap scrap bag (which is breaking *cries*)

Daniel did a panorama shot of the view

It's been beautiful weather today.

Too cute!

The "men" and Steph's Mum (who Anara adores)

I have to get Rheya a toy sling, they're just ace!

We'll have to do this more often Steph, hopefully Rheya will get used to walking and stop whining about it :P

Birthday card

I'm so proud of this one...so proud.

Alice's 4th Birthday Party

Oops I took 4 pages (on flickr) worth of pictures today. I can't help it, I love taking pictures :)

Today was Alice's 4th Birthday party. I LOVE going to Mel's parties, she's the Queen of children parties.

This party was Alice in Wonderland themed.

There was a table to make flowers...

a table to make madhatter hats

Steph made Alice (Birthday Girl) the most AMAZING outfit. The skirt has Alice in Wonderland fabric at the bottom and the top is appliqued with a teapot and cake...utterly gorgeous!

The hostess

Rheya had lots of fun playing with Phoebe

Tea party

/Sings "We're painting the roses red..." or whatever colours they want really

Anara wanted to play

They're trying to squeeze Rheya inbetween them..bless

Sadly my camera ran out of battery so that's all I got :oP

I've only just realised why my picture count has doubled...2 children, double the pictures...when I can get them to stand/sit together they might halve ;)
