It was Jack's birthday. This year I opted for a packet cake mix, shaped cake tin and packet mix icing with red food colouring. He was thrilled.
His grandma made him an I Spy quilt, which we have a lot of fun "spying" with.
I'm trying to find time to make some little things for Amy's first birthday next week, although that might not happen as my paid work has just increased from 0.4 to 0.6 (yay!). I should probably look into doing something more than a packet mix for her party next Sunday. Will I make my brain explode again this year, or be a little more realistic in my goals? I'm hoping for the second!
And - we bought a house yesterday! It's conditional on getting a good building and pest inspection this week, but once that's out of the way I'll try to get some photos of what will be my amazing new sewing studio.
I was thinking the other day that perhaps the thing blocking me from blogging recently has been our frustrating house search. But now that it's resolved, maybe I'll have room in my head for things other than real estate. Things like Ikea, paint colours, carpet samples, gardening websites... Anyhoo, hope to see more of you now!

Gorgeous cake and lovely grandmother- what a special quilt
Congratulations on *fingers crossed* your finished house search! :D So exciting and a wee bit stressful - but totally worth it in the end.
And that cake looks terrific. Sprinkles are the best!
Congratulations on buying a house, great news!!!
Love the cake and I-spy quilt! My boys still love their I-spy quilts nana made for them.
