Detective party invitation
For kids born at the end of the year : I had a cutted phone book for 6 months ! I was caught at my own game, the children didn’t understand why the birthday cake was on the table. It…

Tag Child
Football cake
At this moment I realized that pieces of a soccer ball are not so simple (especially in flat). The finishes are far from being perfect, I had to be in a hurry that day.
Rainbow fancy dress costume
The year before, I made a ghost costume for my son. I’ve kept the body on which I sew the rainbow colors. The mask is a piece of cardboard on which I sew grey felt.
Garden cake
The advantage of decorating a cake with almond paste is that children who don’t like the taste can take it off . They like pecking sugar balls or smarties (which help to cut the cake in equal shares).
Balloons cake
I loved the pastel sugar confettis.
Train cake
Almond paste and some smarties.
Birthday party road sign
A piece of cardboard, 4 tube balloons, 1 classic balloon. After her birthday party, my daughter kept it one month in her room.
School cake
The first one of a (very ) long run of decorated cakes with almond paste. In that time I found moldings alphabet and numbers in chocolate (I wish I kept those molds).
Doll made with baby’s clothe
Handmade/Heartmade by my mom. She took rompers (that she had knit for my son). My daughter was enthralled by this doll as tall as her. For a long time « big doll » took away nightmare from my daughter (as…
Cow low bench
When my daughter was born, she too had her bench. This one is a little higher. As we can’t transform the bathroom in a menagerie, “piggy” went to their room.
Beach wind screen/sunscreen for beach umbrella
Never say it too much : sun is dangerous for kids. Parachute fabric (or nylon), tulle and little snap hooks. Some funny forms (fish, star and boat) and portholes in wich I cut the nylon to let the wind going…
Second cross stitch alphabet
My son has a brittany name, however it’s my daughter who had the oilskin jacket’s kids.
Learning pillow
Cord stop, hook and loop (velcro), button, shoelace, overall buckle, suspender clip, snap, side release buckle, belt buckle, toggle button, zippers… all I had in my drawers.
Multi pockets beach bag / changing mat
A bag very useful to take children to the beach and which is still useful when they (too much) grew. The inside is a round bag. The outside has many pockets and (with clever zippers) can get loose in order…
Piggy low bench
It’s impossible for the children to reach the sink, but benches sold are really ugly. Some wood, paint and a jigsaw. As you can see, it’s not only to reach the sink !
