Teddy bears picnic

                                            "If you go down to the woods today,
                                                   you sure of a big suprise..."

"Beneath the trees, where nobody sees
They'll hide and seek as long as they please

Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic."

Things to make...

I know it's still a way away but Elena is definately getting this cake for her 1st birthday.  I just love it!!!  I also can't wait to get stuck in making all sorts of wonderful things for her.  The first thing on my list is some bunting - floral country style followed by a crocheted beanie with flowers and not to forget the old patch knit blanket.

This mobile is a project I started before she was born and now needs to be strung together. 

Wales v SA

Lucky for her she looks good in red....but I still think she will look much better in the Springbok jersey...

What you get when you mix; Welsh, Greek, South African

Everyday feels like Christmas

5 Months today and what a pleasure it's been!  Watching her grow is even better than staring into a fire, you just can't get enough....  Everyday is filled with new suprises.   Little Miss is up to all sorts and doing something new everyday.

At the moment, she is one happy bundle of joy, giggling up a storm, sucking her toe whenever it's bath time  and I could have sworn she said mama the other day, luckily daddy was around to witness but insists she was just finding her voice....ya right!!!





   

From Elena's view

There is nothing Elena loves more than sitting under the trees, listening to the birds, looking up at the sky through all the green leaves.  She absolutely loves the garden and is completely fascinated with it all.  I would say picnics are one of her favourite things.

I decided to look up and see things from her view and boy oh boy it was no suprise she is so captivated by it all.  I can't believe we go through life at a million miles per hour and never take a minute to look up and breath.  Ever since that day, I appreciate the little things in life as seen by little Elena.

These are all so cute, I couldn't choose a favourite, so here are a few from a picnic...
