Probably the last ice-cream of the year and doorstep pumpkins

Cleo, our next door neighbour came to see our pumpkins. She comes to see us most days after school to hang out with Willow. Willow just loves having an older friend to play with and Cleo loves having a younger 'sister' as her younger brother Sam is 'really annoying'.

DIY Owl Halloween costume

 

I've finally finished Willow's first Halloween costume. The cape and apron are recycled from an old men's wool shirt from Old Navy and the feathers from scraps of cotton fabric.

I started out with a baby hat of Willows that kind of had pointy owl shaped ears and made a slightly larger version out of the main fabric. I then made a cape shape and simply added the two pieces together. I then lined the cape and finally added the feathers. It was all a little thrown together and made up as i went along.

I finally made a really simple apron shape dress with the left over fabric and added some stripy leggings to finish off the costume.

Now i just hope that madam will be in the mood to wear it on Halloween.

Catching the last rays of sunshine at the park before it begins to rain forever more in Portland!

Package for Willow

We got home yesterday to find a parcel from the UK for Willow. Inside was a lovely doll from Willow's great auntie Carol. She is always so generous when it comes to Willow.

                                                      Madam just loved her new friend. 

Tea for two and a big thankyou.

Pumpkin patch/Niko's birthday party

This was Willow's first visit to the pumpkin patch. This isn't a tradition in the Uk so it was new to us too. It was a pretty fun afternoon and the weather turned out great for Nilko's birthday.
