She's one!

Poor Sofia has been struck down with conjunctivitis, so it's been home for a couple of days for us. To top it off, this morning I noticed two new teeth cutting through her bottom gums... needless to say, she's been getting lots of cuddles.

During her happier (or napping) moments however, being off work has given me a chance to catch up on some of those "home" things that continue to get pushed to the side with the business of daily life. And of course to sit down and blog!

The month feels like it's flying past... I can't believe it's already been two weeks since Sofia's birthday! On the 13th we celebrated her first birthday with an afternoon tea party followed by a family dinner. I made her a white chocolate cake (recipe from a Woman's Weekly cook book) and decorated it like an owl... inspired by a Woman's Day 'Kids cakes' magazine pull-out. Here's what mine looked like:

Sofia was particularly keen on getting into the freckles...

Dressed for the occasion, I don't think my little one-year-old minded being the spotlight of attention :)

And now that she's one... no time to waste! A set of wheels, some study, and she'll be set for life...

 

Ok, so maybe she needs to grow a bit more... maybe reach the pedals before I let her loose into the world.

Not much on the stitching front of late, but hopefully some things to share soon should time allow!

Until next time x
