Ashers Ice Cream Factory

I currently have some of my family visiting me in France, including my gorgeous nephew, Asher, who turned 2 yesterday.
We decided to throw an Ice Cream party to celebrate the occasion and spent the last week making and preparing decorations, ice cream, aprons, hats, games and a cake of course.
The weather, unfortunately, didnt hold out and so we ended up having to move the party indoors...but we still had lots of fun!

Ice cream flavours: Confiture de Lait (home made), Rhubarbe et Gingembre (home made), Chocolat, Pistache and Café.
The birthday cake; Chocolat Orange Beetroot cake...mmmmm! (here's the recipe)
The factory workers, ready to go!
The birthday boy!

for baby

Recently 2 of our best friends had their second child, Eponine. We love her name so much that we decided we should make her this to go up on her bedroom wall. We cut it out of MDF and painted it white. It measures roughly 100x30 cm.

Family Portrait

A while ago I blogged about my embroidered portraits of myself and my husband. I mentioned in the post that my plan was to frame the portriats in embroidery hoops and to also do one of our daughter, Pixie...well, here they are!
