More Monkey Business!

"Mummy, for my birthday can I have a Yoda Sock Monkey?"

Hmmmmm. What is a mother to do? Well firstly send a pleading message to sian from the fantastic siansburys who came up with a great idea, went and sourced appropriate socks (green) and in no time at all had created this wonderful Yoda:



We introduced him to Lofty, who moved in a while ago:



Then made him a coat as the weather is getting chilly:



And he soon felt right at home:



And one smallish boy was very happy!

Birthday Treats Galore

My friends and family all know my love of hand crafted delights and so it was a joy to receive a bundle of such loveliness for my birthday last week. And I must share some pictures of the little gems I received from my family:


Soaps by Soapychica that smell soooo good, incredibly chic and delicate ear-rings by Moments By Martha and the prettiest bangle by Twinklyspangle.



Also received a lovely chunky bangle, which coordinates with my latest hair shade (deep autumnal brown) and this fantastic print by Askey (who also happens to be the designer of my etsy, folksy and blog banner).

A Happy Birthday indeed! Thanks guys!
