Party bags and pom poms are now ticked off the list.
Well one pom pom - I have another five to make.....planning to make as long as time doesn't run away from me which at the moment 'whoosh' is how it's feeling.....whooooosh.
I've had a really lovely relaxed 'making' day. To be honest Tuesdays are normally my day off from everyone - just me pottering around in my own little world, left to my own devices.
Sounds lovely doesn't it?
But what normally happens on a Tuesday is this ::
I crank up the music - really really loud - and crack on with 'most' of the weekly housework - in one fell swoop. Just trying to declutter as best as I can, but knowing in the back of my mind that it will all slowly fall into disarray as the week draws on.
Anyhoo - not today, not this Tuesday - I had only one thing on my mind (well two actually) making stuff and more importantly making stuff for the up and coming event of the year.
The glitter girl party which I'm hosting (being mum) at the end of this week for our girlie girl.
So out came the paints along with the polymer clay, tissue paper, washi tape, cutters, roller and bakers twine.
Today our dining room table looked more like a scene out of Play School rather then one of domestic bliss, but honestly - I loved it.
Pom poms (one) tick ✓
Pink party bags all made up with name tags crafted and attached - tick ✓
Just another five pom poms to go as mentioned above, presents to wrap, house to tidy (as I didn't do that today 'ooooppps) 'oh' and the baking to uuuummmmmm - bake.
But that's fine, the fun part for me really. As long as I remember not to overstretch myself and then (hopefully) I won't get too stressed out......I hope.
All is good so far though....................
I'm trying not to jinx myself.

That pom pom is wonderful - do you have a link to a tutorial?
The housework can wait. It looks as though you had fun today!
Love the hearts and pom pom! Forget the housework being creative is far more fun than shifting dust!

This is the most epic party ever!!! Hope she adores every moment. Xx
I've been using similar metal hearts today, I'm making my very first bunting.
Your bags, pompoms and heart labels look lovely.

What fun you had! Mostly I'm glad my children are at the age where parties involve a pub or club and no input from me, but sometimes I get all nostalgic for balloons and candles and party bags. Good luck with the rest of the preparations.
How exciting it all looks! Everything looks beautiful, and good luck with getting it all done!I'm sure it will be an amazing party!

What amazing-looking party bags - I think the girls will love them (let's face it - I'd love them!)
Hope the party goes swimmingly

Lucky girl to have such a super mum - hope this will be a day she'll remember when she is a grown up herself!
Sounds like my idea of bliss Nina! It's soooo worth the effort making and decorating for our girlies, one day they will oh so appreciate all the time and effort and of course love into making their birthdays a real celebration xox I love all your attention to detail, perfect! As for the housework... well I am sure no one is looking, a bit of surface cleaning will do xox Enjoy all the baking to come!
Good luck I know it's a lot to pull all together, it's looking great so far.
Goodness Nina, there is going to be some very lucky party girls! What delightful things you are making :o)
Its looking like its going to be a wonderful party - love those little hearts :)
I'd not worry about too much cleaning - it will need doing again after the party ;)
Wow, you are powering on full steam! If it were me, i'd be tearing my hair out about now! ha ha! Hope all carries on going smoothly for you!
Have a lovely day Nina

Beautiful.....everything looks so beautiful.....I notice someone has already asked for a tutorial on the pompoms......any chance....when you have a spare mo, of course.....for some brief instructions on what to use, and what to do, to make the darling little heart tags.....pleeeease. Good luck with the party....my misses would adore a party like you're giving.....I've never quite managed to get myself organised enough to give them one.....bad, bad mother that I am.....lol -xx-

You have to show me
Loving your hearts and pom poms. I invested in some oven bake clay and letter stams after watching Kirstie Allsopp. Its addictive but note to self - stop being so anal about letters being wonkey!!!! xxx
Sorry that meant to say stamps! Am making a mohair doggy at the mo, almost finished, will blog in a few days with finished item!!! xxx
Love love love little hearts. What a lucky little girl and what lucky little guests too. Hope you/they have a ball.

Lovely party paraphernalia - I'd like to have a go at the tissue pom poms some time too. Will look for a tutorial online.
The party bags are gorgeous - the hearts are especially lovely. Lucky little girl, having such a crafty Mum.
Hope it all goes well!
