Scarlet's 8th Birthday

Scarlet invited 4 of her friends to see the 10th anniversary show of Mamma Mia the musical at Star City here in Sydney.
We had a family BBQ afterwards.
Scarlet picked a Pink Paris Poodle theme.
I made her dress from some divine "Vintage Paris" fabric by Bebe using a vintage 1950's pattern she found in a thrift shop almost 2 years ago. She's been waiting till she was size 8 (the pattern size) to have it made up.
I had enough left over fabric to make Lulu a little dress/top too.
We used some other great Paris fabrics for the tablecloths - I'll be able to make these up in to some summer dresses.

Chinese dinner for Toshi's 83rd Birthday

We had Toshi's birthday dinner at the King Wan restaurant in Woolooware.
Years ago this restaurant was actually called the Wan King restaurant.
Johnny & I nearly died laughing the 1st time we ate there!!!
Jokes aside, the food & service is fabulous.

I made this little bird for Scarlet yesterday.
She had to have a bird or a fish for the upcoming ballet concert.
