On Friday morning my mum and I went to South Causey Inn for a wedding fair. Mr T and I are getting married there in May next year so I wanted to take my mum to show her what it could look like when set up for a wedding. We will be married in their new purpose built room which is at the back of the pub, I had been to an open day last year when it was set up as a wedding but mum had only seen it while they were still busy building it. Seeing it all set up made me feel very excited and mum loved it too!!
Friday night I made some Easter baskets to put sweets in for my nieces- they don't eat a lot of chocolate so I got them a small chocolate egg and then filled the baskets with their favourite sweets. I used a basket from a bought chocolate egg as a template then covered them in green card.

They loved them as well as their chocolate eggs and outfits I gave them- my youngest niece (who will be 2 at the end of the month) actually squealed when she opened them lol! They are so easily pleased at this age.
On Saturday my oldest niece wanted to make Easter baskets and cakes, so I used the same template as above for them and she decorated them with Easter stickers. We added a handle then made cakes to put in them and wrapped them in cellophane. She definitely has the crafting bug and loves drawing and making things.

Monday saw us back to South Causey for a horse show where my brother and oldest niece were showing their horses. My brother got a 2nd and a 4th place with his horse and my niece got 2nd place for young handler's and a 1st for her fancy dress!!!! We were so very proud she is only 5 and this was her first attempt at young handler. Her fancy dress was made by my mum- she was Noddy and the horse was the car- I must add mum was up until 3am the night before completing the costume so was over the moon with 1st place.
Hope you enjoy reading- see you soon!
