Mariann's special day

On July 7th, we celebrated Mariann's third time around the sun.



In our new play room, on a piece of green silk, I've put some cake and strawberries I did a while ago, fairy wings, got the idea here: http://www.make-baby-stuff.com/making-fairy-wings.html,. On the chair, a tutu (1" elastic with attached stripes of tule) and another one for Victoria. What's in the wooden box?

Birthday crown... I'd like to refer you to this inspiring post: http://frontierdreams.blogspot.com/2009/05/wool-felt-birthday-crown-tutorial.html
I chose the strawberries because Mariann loves them, a lot! She was born on the time they came out, because here they come out a lot latter then USA. So I have this sweet memory of being into labor, on the patio eating strawberries my in-law just picked for me from his field.




The face that makes all the work worth it:


In a little wooden box, I've put a little wooden set (the kind you get in dollar store an assemble yourself) with a pipe-cleaner fairy and a peg baby.

....I really wanted to get her a wooden doll house and furnish it with natural stuff.... But my mom bought one. I was so frustrated I cried. So I'll make her one for winter solstice instead.


I made her a memory games out of felt. Very practical when you have a baby brother that eats everything.


Mamie came to play with us.

And we had friends in the after-noon to share pops with!


... It's hard to get a crips picture of fairy costume try-out...

Une fouaise maman? (Do you want a strawberry, mom?)

  1. Happy birthday, Mariann! I love the crown, you did such a great job on it. I really wanted a nice, solid wood kitchen for the girls a couple of holidays ago and my inlaws bought them a crappy, tacky, fiberboard kitchen before I could. Kind of a big purchase to be making without consulting the parents first, I think. Fortunately it's falling apart now (good ol
    fiberboard!) and I hope to get them one like I originally wanted this solstice.

  2. Love the felt crown - just beautiful. And the second-last photo is probably my favourite ever. (And that's saying a lot.) I know the lighting is bad and it's out of focus, but the expression on Mariann's face overcomes all that.
