Mini Fashion Designers

Tidying up a bedroom, the kids found some fabric samples that I'd stashed. These were the fluoro ones that I had no plans to ever use but hadn't done anything with - they begged to play with them.

They cut, folded, stacked and played at being mini fashion designers for an hour - so lovely when they decide to create with no Mum-intervention!

A Fallen Princess

I decided that miss 6 might like a day out with Mum. We are very similar and she likes clothes, people, and the chance for a cupcake and a little bit of shopping - hey, who doesn't?!

So I took along one excited little girl to help sell Aunty Ollie at a very nice craft fair at the weekend. We packed a little bag with snacks, books and pens and started out great.

After we set up we walked around, had a little shop, bought a few spare snacks. She drew, chatted, folded, packed, chatted some more, walked around with some friends. Still, all going well. Big smiles from all for miss 6. What a lovely little helper. What a beautiful dress.

She's getting a little tired. A little ratty. Mum's getting busier and concedes to sweets. She eats too many, too quickly. And loses the plot. She needs to change out of her Aunty Ollie dress, now. She pulls out the princess dress (pictured) intended to be a bribe for good behaviour. I tell her she's not Kylie, there's no need for an outfit change. She persists and I give in as there are people trying to talk to me about sizes, prices etc.

Then the sugar really kicks in. I've never seen her affected by sugar but she was literally hysterical. Giggling, falling abut the place, jumping. Oh my. I could see people frowning at me like I was a gypsy mum having my child working at the circus. How quickly we fall.

It was time to pack up. It was an interesting experiment. I loved her company for most of the day but it was just a little too much for a little girl. I feel exhausted, thirsty and hungry after a market day so expect she feels that but magnified.

Sweet girl, you were great. But next time, Daddy's coming to get you after a couple of hours.
