Dooby Day!

A few photos I'd like to share from my darling god daughter's 1st birthday celebrations. I stayed the night before busy cooking and attempting to decorate cupcakes..... Ruby dooby woke me nice and early so I saw no better time to open her present..... Hmmm, not sure if the Happy Feet DVD was a hit - what do you think? (BTW- Happy Feet 2 goes into production in October - hip, hip horray!) Rubes reading her new book "This little piggy went to Prada" to her mum, she's very bright you see.... Party dress on? CHECK! - Ruby's grandmother made her beautiful birthday dress - complete with beautiful bow on the back - Shill, it would have seriously rocked your roundabout!! What?! - do I have something on my face? No, no, haven't had a couple of cupcakes at all.... My inner Martha wasn't exactly shining when I completed decorating these cakes at 1am the night (well technically the morning...) before..... And finally - the little ones birthday cake - a lady bird for the little lady. There were plenty of polka dots, and we even managed to make some of these, just didn't take any shots of them -oops!. She had a beautiful day, played in the bubbles pumping out of the bubble machine (have made a note I might need one of those for my 30th next year) and ate way too much cake. I think she takes after her godmother when it comes to her love of cake! x

Lucky little Ruby to have a godmother who loves her enough to stay up late decorating dotty cup cakes. And she is obviously going to be one chic little girl if she even eats the cake with the icing that matches her dress, just in case....!

Looks like this was a superb party! I adore the blue and brown dress with the just-so brown tights. You chose a beautiful grosgrain ribbon for her package!
