| Today we took some colorful corn off the cob for a future crafting project. I am not sure how we are going to use it yet. |
 |
| I love the colors. |
 |
| Giving Daddy so "coffee." |
 |
| Preparing a healthy snack. |

| Coffee and cereal! |
 |
| Doesn't this acorn "cereal" look delish? I think so! |
 |
| At least someone had a way to put that corn to good use! |
 |
| The Birthday Girl got to open her prezzies first thing in the morning. We always do it that way. There is no sense in waiting all day. :) |
 |
| Her Birthday Crown was off in about a minute. She said it was too scratchy. |
 |
| The first thing she chose to open was the gift form her sister. |
 |
| I think "Phoebe's Sweater" was the perfect book for her. The knitting projects in the back will be great gifts to knit her for Christmas. I have "Phoebe's Birthday" on order for her Sister's birthday. |
 |
| We've chosen to be paper free and wrap our gifts up in muslin or cotton bags. |
 |
| She opened the sweater vest I made for her. She put it on right away. |
 |
| Sweet, sleepy, happy, little angel! |
 |
| I could not bake her cake without her help! |
 |
| She did such a lovely job of mixing and "tasting" the batter (it was egg free). |
 |
| It may have been a bit over mixed buy eh, who cares! Cake is cake right? And it's even better when you have special help. |
 |
| Oh! Look at her shining face! She loves to help in the kitchen. |
 |
| We made an applesauce molasses spice cake. We forgot to add the fresh ginger. |
 |
| It smelled divine. Every year for her birthday, we bake a spice cake. It's her favorite and it's just right for the changing season. The smell of the baking cake filled our home with the smell of Autumn! |
 |
| We love this stuff! |
 |
 |
| She got a " Magical Purple Lavender Scented Birthday Bath." |
 |
| Trying out the new play silks. |
 |
| They had fun! |
 |
| She ran around in the fresh air. |
 |
| She made sand castles. |
 |
| She got dirty! |
 |
| We made apple vases for her to admire at the dinner table. |
 |
| She picked a few flowers. |
 |
| She got all her candles blown out with one breath! |
 |
| She devoured her cupcake. |
 |
| It was a very good cake. The carrot curls went perfectly. It was a full day of laughing and playing and just enjoying the important things, with the most important people. It was a good day! Happy Birthday my sweet, sweet girl! I am so thankful that you are mine! |
 |
| I was so excited when we found this at the toy shop this afternoon. I knew it was just perfect for Tory to give Lily for her birthday. Tory approved. I know it's still a bit to old for her yet but she will love the imaginative illustrations in the book!!! |
 |
| Play silks are ready to be gifted to my dear Lil' tomorrow for her 3rd time around the sun. |
 |
| I like them, although the colors are a bit bright. I found some very beautiful ones hand dyed ones but I just had this dye and decided to use it. The next ones I make will be dyed only from plants. |
 |
| One for the sun and one for the moon. |
 |
| Birthday crown in progress... |
 |
| I am going to knit a band for the back so that it can be worn. I had better stop blogging and get to work! |
 |
| Working on a simple doll dress. |
 |
| Lil's birthday doll. |
 |
| Hand dyed doll hair. |
 |
| Dragon Cookies (buttons) |
 |
| In preparation for our Michaelmas nature table... |
 |
| The beginnings of a tiny doll sweater for the doll I am making Lily for her birthday (more on that in a later post). |
 |
| I'm using leftover yarn! |
 |
| Lately I have really been liking the look of a crocheted border on my knitting projects. |
 |
| Dying yarn for the doll. She will be fair haired. |
 |
| Dying play silks for Lily's birthday next Saturday. |
 |
| I had a request to make peanut butter and jelly (in tiny jars for tiny hands). |
 |
| Crocheted gnome hat. I think it looks a bit like a pine cone. |
 |
| Preparing to make apple "everything!" |
 |
| A bit of snuggling and many colorful stories. |
 |
| New bedroom furniture! |
