Tailor dummy experiment

So I have this idea that I really need a tailor's dummy to make little b's clothes- well until I actually google it and find out they are stupidly expensive. So out comes the masking tape and hilarity as I tape up over an old dress and stuff it. Job done in ten minutes! B thinks it is her robot and keeps making funny robot noises- too funny! Not as swish as a proper one but a whole load cheaper and exactly the right size... Now all I need to do is find a broom handle and base...

New shoes

B's new shoes arrived today- so cute. The front is like a pear which she is very impressed with! From a make called livie and Luca. So many lovely ones for summer- think I have found a new guilty pleasure!!

Cake!

It's b's birthday tomorrow! Big bad 3 years old. After saying she wanted a cake with eyes?! I managed to persuade her that a fairy castle would be better. Now starting late and taking forever to bake we now have a cake for her party on Saturday. Now all I have to do is wait for it to cool:(
