Happy 8th Birthday Son:)

My Sonnie boy turned 8 this 3rd September!.............he is already showing the signs of nearing teenage,sigh!!
Why/how do kids grow up so fast!
I don't want to dwell on the sentiments of a child growing up & eventually away,I am just going to share what we did for his birthday!

This is just before he left for school on the 3rd,though we had his party  the next day!

\
For the decor,I made tons of buntings from colorful crepe paper & criss-crossed them across the small lil lawn sprinkled with balloons & a HAPPY BIRTHDAY banner:)

I plucked a bunch of flowers & stuck them in a jug for additional color:)

Cupcake toppers are a novel concept in India,so the kids were super amused by them,they picked up the toppers & left the cup cakes alone in the second serving .......LOL:).................I printed out the free toppers printable from here- Best Gift Idea

Made a ruffle sorta cake inspired from here.............it's not an exact copy but yes the inspiration was that ruffled cake!

I made triangles out of handmade paper,wrote my son's name on it , hot glued it to a scrap of white wool ,tied it to chopsticks & my banner was ready...............Tada :)

 Menu-

1. Noodles

2. Mac 'n' Cheese 

3. Pizza

4. Chocolate Chip muffins

5. Samosa

6.Strawberry Ice cream in cones

7. Cake

8. Juices

LOL.............I forgot to click pics of other goodies like favors & the ice cream mania! ........................the kids were going absolutely ballistic especially when doggie B came out to join the celebrations:)

 Was a fun party & now I am back to business:)

Clicked pics of a cute Doily Waterproof  Messenger  in white & red which I had made but didn't find the time to list................It is in the shop now:)

Another Year Older & a FAB offer!

We know when we're getting old when the only thing we want for our birthday is not to be reminded of it.~Author Unknown
 
You must have guessed .............YES,I am going to be another year older:(
Birthdays lose their charm once they are on the other side of 30 right!

 So yeah,I am turning 32 on 23 August...............not a very happy thought!
I don't have the crow feet around my eyes or wrinkles or grey hair YET....................but I know they are just around the corner!

But I have hopefully more wisdom,experience,tolerance,patience to show for all these years!

Do I have any plans? .................not yet!.............it's a weekday & kids will be in school & hubs is super busy...........so yeah NO plans!

Maybe I will pamper myself in a salon,get a nice facial,pedi,mani.....................

How was ure father's day?

How was your father's day?
I had baked a pineapple upside down cake a day before so we could have it for father's day but who am I kidding!
you bake a cake in a household of kids & expect them NOT to eat it till the following day!.................yeah that's so not happening!

as we had nothing for Father's day....................... we headed out to lunch to a new restaurant opened in town which was kind of  damp squid, not all that great:(
Decided to salvage that not so good meal with yum ice cream & then back home for a nice afternoon siesta!
While the hubs was sleeping I finished 3 bags & cut 6 more in Amy Butler fabrics:)

I am so chuffed about the new designs I am working on.....................will be posting them real soon;)

Meanwhile it's raining like crazy here,is super pleasant & I just don't think I will accomplish anything today other than staring outta the window;)
