Wrapping Up Saturday Morning!

 

a big hello to you this gorgeous saturday!

 

 

 

earlier in the week

mr p asked me if i could make something for a four year old's birthday.

it is for his friend's niece.

 

so on wednesday i cut out a cushion cover...

this morning there it was looking at me..still unsewn.

an hour later

after discovering that my buttonholer won't work ...at all...

just keeps sewing on the same spot...what the???

i made a simple envelope opening/closing cover

instead.

 

then of course i wrapped it up without thinking of taking a photo!

 

here are the elements...

 

 

add some of your wild imaginationings...

 

 

and this..that i made a couple of weeks ago...

 

 

+

 

bright yellow tissue paper

hot pink wrapping paper

loud lime ribbon

black/pink polka dotted tape

 

=

 

 

 

 

...and it was a wrap!

 

oh!

and then there was this most delicious chocolatey scent

wafting over from the kitchen...

 

mr m {just back home to stay for a while}

had made these...

 

 

chocolate date scones {biscuits in american speak}

topped liberally with coconut

 

no...i've never eaten these before either!

 

i was assured that there was only 2 tablespoons of brown sugar in the whole mix,

so i had a couple for brunch..yum!

 

knowing him,

he would have just made up the recipe as he went along.

it was well worth filling up the pantry for last night...

doing that big grocery shop i've been putting off a while..hehe!

 

enjoy your weekend...
