Sangriatastic!

So as you can see we did eventually book ourselves a holiday! Not the original plan of a Villa in the Algarve, but an apartment in Majorca, and it was wonderful.

The whirlwind enjoyed every second. Mummy is convinced she was a mermaid in another life, and boy oh boy is she a little flirt, she had her own fan club everyday round the pool, and the maids bought her Spanish biscuits and cakes every morning, she obviously has her mothers charm.

We had 10 wonderful days of brilliant sunshine although on one day the temp reached 42 dgrs which was a bit much!

This is my favourite pic from the holiday......Roo definitely looks like her daddy from the back....they have the same bubble butt!

I had never been to Majorca before and never realised what a beautiful and colourful island it is, I was like a Japanese tourist on heat snapping away at all the lovely scenery.

This is definitely a place we will be visiting again....only next time we wont be booking it at 10pm Fri night and flying out 12 the next day!

VERY Last minute!

OK so today is Wednesday and we are supposed to be going on holiday on Saturday...yes THIS Saturday! Now you would expect us to have it all planned by now, the flights, the accommodation, car hire, clothes sorted and ironed, ect, etc!

Do you think we have done ANY of that??????......

......NO!!!!!!!

We have absolutely NOTHING booked! Yet my darling other-half is still convinced we will be going on Sat!

So I am off to look at Last minute villa deals for the 10000th time this week. I'm hoping that the right one will just mystically appear before my eyes for about 50p for 10 days!!!!!.....If you don't here from me for the next 2 wks i will, with any luck, be laying on a beach with Pinacolada in hand.....Then again, we are taking the whirlwind, so more than likely i will be buried up to my eyebrows in the sand!

Daddy's finally home.!......Yipeee

Well it has been a busy past couple of week! I have been out and about visiting family and friends whilst daddy has been away, and after 3 wks living life as a single mum, ( i honestly don't know how those ladies manage...much respect!) he is finally home Yayyyyyy! And first thing on the list now he is back is to BOOK OUR HOLIDAY!...... Cant wait, Sun Sea, Sand here i come!.....although i have a dreaded feeling that holidaying with the 15mth old whirlwind is going to be a somewhat altogether different experience than last years hol's when she was only 3months old...... and couldn't move!!!!! But Bring it on anyway!



So in honour of the impending hols, i have made a start on The Whirlwinds wardrobe. Starting with a pillowcase dress (although not actually made from a pillowcase!) Needless to say she wouldn't keep still, but i think i managed to catch most of the detail. I am not really that pleased with it, i don't think that it hangs very straight! But its not bad for a first draft.



I need to shape the armholes and loose the pocket on my next attempt, but it is a quick and easy enough design for me to whip up in an hour or so. I have a feeling Roo's suitcase is going to be full of them!

And how cute does she look in her hat!

I also managed to get a few shoe and bib orders done last week.They turned out really well!.......After a few mishap's with my dodgy curved stitching on the bibs! Will definitely be making square ones in future!
