Mummy makes a present

Today my littlest boy is three years old!! Where does the time go.

The other night we had 'Postman Pat makes a present' as his bedtime story.



He said that he wanted me to make him a present for his birthday. I offered to make another cake. No, he wanted something made. (And wrapped up with a ribbon!) All hopes of making and finishing the boy's a quilt each by this birthday flew out of the renovated window so I only managed a backpack and matching wallet...




Don't look too close, it was my first attempt at a wallet without a pattern


And here's a photo of a birthday present bag that got delivered to a little friend who had his party on Saturday...


On the nose front, I have been having a few early nights as I've really felt like I have been knocked out, but I'm sure it will pass.

The gifts that you throw together are unique and special for each of your sons. No small wonder they request your handmade gifts! The bag for the friend is great. I do hope your nose heals well...that had to hurt.

Congrats on his third birthday! Your gifts are the dreams of a three year old boy, for sure. I remember the "Army" phase very well, complete with plastic guns, knives, clothes, wallet, etc. I even vaguely remember an Army cake somewhere! Great job with the wallet! Not something I have tried before. I love the fabrics you used. I think it is adorable that he wanted something handmade for his birthday. Kids can so easily get roped into the commercials on TV.
