The last first birthday party

Thankfully we survived Sunday! About 70 people, family and good friends, stopped by to help us celebrate Adele's first birthday.

The weather looked a little dodgy early on, but fined up to an extremely warm and humid day. I wish I had more photos to share, but I was so busy tending to everything, that I forgot to get the camera out until just before cake.

Not sure if any of you recognise the bunny cake? It's from the Woman's Weekly birthday cake book from the 80's, found recently at an Op Shop.

How sweet is this little outfit? I finished this just the night before the party and it's so, so lovely and light. It's made with Anna Maria Horner voile from her Little Folks collection. I've made a cami top with this same fabric and am amazed at how well it washes. I still haven't ironed it, just line dry and wear.

This was Adeles second outfit for the day, she trashed her Oliver & S Bubble dress, so this came out after her nap. The good thing is I have enough fabric to make a second outfit like this for my shop. So once it's out of the wash I'll hopefully be able to photograph it and list it as a custom order. Well, once my prac block finishes anyway...

I'll hopefully post tomorrow with some of the lovely handmade gifts little Adele received.
