So Missy's birthday finally arrived and what a day it was. Starting with a treasure hunt for birthday presents which was a great success followed by pancakes at Eden's house.



Then we settled in for some movie watching (Bambi) and later on she had a surprise, her very first cinema experience with Amelie (Alvin and the chip monks..she meant to see it last week but they were sold out) after that her pal Amelie came back and we had a celebration dinner with the Barhams and a carrot cake on Missy's request. Baking this cake confirmed to me that the only reason I will ever bake is for love.

Something to celebrate

Guess it's that time of year again. This is the first of the valentines decorations to go up and more will follow the nearer we get to our big valentines party Hoot Hoot!

Loving it!

So there is this space at the back of the toy cupboard which is a total waste and I kept thinking about what a waste of space it was..until I had a brainwave! This space would make the perfect den for a 3 year old! and so I put a load of cushions in as well as her DVD player and poster on the back of the cupboard and Bobs your fathers brother we have a den! She loves it, totally and completely! and so does the cat which is also great. I use to love little hide outs as a kid and I think Missy does too!

done

Well I think we've pretty much cracked it. Joseph put the shelves in today and I've just covered them in fabric (can't be bothered to do any more painting).
So they've gone from this..



To this...



To this...



To this!

This and that

The scrap framing continues. The latest addition is Indi Mindi's foot print and Goggy (Missy's number one pal) The wall is almost complete I only have two frames left which may fit at the bottom (if it all measures up ok?).




It's been a fun project.


Today we are also working on the toy cupboard and trying to finish the inside but the distraction has been another project, Joseph decided to bone a chicken and stuff it!

The inside

This the inside of the toy cupboard door. It's head to toe in family and friends and Missy loves it. The picture at the top is off Missy (left) at 4 months old wearing her dedication dress and Indi Mindi on the right also 4 months old wearing the same dress and lying on the same sheep's skin rug!

Additions

Additional scrap framing.

This is Joseph and Missy sifting through mud and rocks to find sapphire stones in Montana (the findings are below the photo).



These are ancient arrow heads and scrappers found in the mountains of Montana (pictured).



Behind the photo of Missy getting her weight checked is the predictions of the date, weight and length at birth which was done at the baby shower.
