What A Week We've Had



Well this week has been busy busy busy for Mummy any way, as she, as well as working for Sussans has decided to become a Phoenix Trader and sell Greeting Cards, Invites, Wrapping Paper etc - it's a bit like Tupperware but for Greeting cards, as well as being excited about it as the products are lovely, she is very nervous too but has decided to give it a go and as Annandale Public School were holding a Fete on Saturday coinciding with the Election day, Mummy and her good friend Caroline decided to hold a stall between them - Caroline with her wonderful hand made delightful wares and Mummy with her cards.

So Mummy has spent the week getting her stock together, organising it (we loved the bubble wrap, there is nothing more fun than jumping on bubble wrap that has big bubbles to pop it was great fun), a trip to Ikea (I got to play in Smaland - a supervised play area for kids over 3 whilst Mummy & Tilly went shopping) for baskets to display things in, black card, white pens, a trip to Caroline's for more stall chat and a few late night putting it all together only to arrive on the day of the Fete to find another Phoenix Trader already setting up shop ooopppps - good job Mummy has some jewellery she had carded up to sell "just in case" so no cards for Mummy but she did manage to off load some jewellery she had made ages ago, Caroline had a fanastic day too selling her wares and making contacts.

We on the other hand got to enjoy bouncy castles, cup cakes and face painting. Can you guess what I am? I'm a cat although I did hear Daddy say to Mummy he wasn't quite sure cats wore bright red lipstick!!!!!!

During this busy week Mummy did take Tilly & I to the movies to see Tinkerbell and the Great Fairy Rescue - it was ace we went with Bonnie and her mum. Bonnie and I thoroughly enjoyed it and we were even allowed popcorn to eat.

Tilly & I had a dinner date with Max and his little sister Sasha whilst our Mummies & Daddies had a dinner date too - Daddy served up a delicious dish Chicken stuffed with Ricotta and Herbs courtesy Michelle and her great foodie blog Max, Tilly and I had some too it was delicious thanks Michelle. Max and I had lots of fun, it was great having him and Sasha round.

We even got to "eat out" this week at a pub with Noah, Sebastian and Harriet whilst I Mummies talked Craft and Market stalls again....... it was a great.

Righty O off I go it's time for swimming
See you next week with more tales

A Ray of Sunshine On A Gorgeous Winter's Day



 
Today, we've had just the perfect day, it started great and stayed that way and boy did Tilly & I have some fun!!!! you see we went on a play date to Caroline's to see our pals Noah & Sebastian, Noah is my age (slightly older at 4 and a half) and Sebastian is the same age as Tilly. So whilst our Mummies talked about craft, sewing, fabrics, making things, we played and boy did we have fun as Mummy was totally engrossed in Caroline's crafty handy work, she's been making her own hair bobbles amongst other things, and Mummy just loved them ALL and spent, no kidding, probably an hour scouring through them trying to decide which ones she wanted to buy, I helped by picking my favourites and proceeded to wear them straight away and Mummy got lots more for us and presents - anyway Mummy says you must check out Caroline's shop - Pop Chomsky  she has the most delightful beautiful bobbles on there and I agree there.

When our Mummies finally got their act together andstopped talking phew......Caroline made us all some lunch and we took off to the park for a play and picnic, it was great fun. Then our Mummies told us we were off for a walk (but really they were going on a fabric hunt around Annandale), but first we stopped off for a chocolate milk and ginger ninja, that is Noah & I, and whilst our mums enjoyed a coffee, the two little ones enjoyed a sleep in their prams, next stop was Quiltsmith in Nelson St, oh my I have never seen my Mum so excited about all the fabric they had in there, I am so surprised she did not spend a penny, although I did hear her say she was coming back without us 'the kids" to spend up big (just don't tell Daddy). Next stop brought even more excitement as Caroline had found an oilcloth fabric shop and proceeded to take Mum to it, Noah and I of course at this stage managed to keep ourselves occupied by playing in the Mexican hammock, whilst our mummies talked all things oilcloth with Ben Elke the owner and importer of this beautiful fabric, Mum could not help herself and spent a small fortune in there as she has a few projects she'd love to make from The Crafty Minx & The Crafty Kid books by Kelly Doust - who as it happened had actually been into Ben Elke's  store that very day.

So a very excited and pleased Mummy, Caroline, Tilly, Noah, Sebastian and I made our way back to Caroline's for more fun and play, Caroline suggested we have dinner there, which was delicious, the Mummies cracked open a bottle of red and celebrated a lovely day, whilst we enjoyed a communal shower and more play until Noah's Daddy came home and very kindly gave us all a lift home.

What a fab day was had by all

See you soon for our next installment

Ruby & Matilda Take Two

Ruby - New Born
Ruby - Nearly 4
Tilly - New Born
Tilly Aged 20 months



.....So Mummy has finally decided it is about time she got back to writing the blog for us, being me - Ruby and my little sister Matilda more commonly know as Tilly.

It's been awhile I know, but we are now back in bloggerland, we an all new updated stylish blog in which we are eager to share our adventures.

I am nearly 4 now and my sister Tilly is nearly 2 - Mummy really does have her hands full with both of us but every now and then she gets some "me time" usually when we are asleep.

So Mummy has put up a little reminder of what we looked like as newborns and how we look 'today" as you can see I am quite the "poser" and Tilly is quite a smiler.

We'll be back with more later this week as we've got plenty planned - a play date with Sebastian & his Mummy Caroline (although between you and me I am sure this play date is an excuse for our Mummies to go on a fabric hunt) a trip to playdays, playgroup and swimming all exciting stuff in the Ruby & Tilly Land.

See you very soon.........
Love The Rubster
and Tilly too.....
