How wonderful is this weather! Even though it's a little bit on the warm side for me really (I don't *do* hot sticky sun probably because I am so fair and I burn so easily) and the nights are a bit uncomfortable for sleeping...but the sunny days just make everything seem happier, don't you think? :)
I'm hoping it sticks around just a bit longer as it is my middlest' s 2nd birthday soon and to celebrate we are having a teddy bears' picnic. Although we've made alternative arrangements in case of inclement weather, it would be a shame not to have it in the garden. So please cross your fingers that the weekend of the 28th july is a nice one!
Plans are under way for a fun party. Lootbags have been collected and i have an idea what food I'll be servinh too. The cake will, I'm afraid to say, be a bought one. I was hoping to make it myself but I don't think I have the time. I have managed to finish the bunting for the party after a couple of setbacks - I misread the pattern I had planned so didn't have enough blue flags, then I realised that by rectifying that I would end up with 13 flags which obviously would never do! And finding time to sit behind my sewing machine was difficult too. But over all I really enjoyed making it.
I used 3 different fabrics (one you might recognise as left over from my sling) some scraps of fabric cut into flowers and buttons from my button stash and a long piece of satin effect ribbon. Amd I'm quite pleased with.the end result.
I'm linking up once again with Wendy over on Handmade Monday Have a look over there at all the lovely blogs and I hope you have a great week.
Til next time!

I like your bunting - I keep meaning to have a go myself but I've not quite got round to it yet. Fingers crossed for good weather.
Fingers and toes crossed for good weather on 28 July - hope you and the teddies have a great time. your bunting looks lovely, especially the flag with the flowers on. Hope you have a good week.
I really hope that the weather does hold for. Your bunting looks great and will be able to used more often than a homemade cake would!
