Welcome to the Circus

I love love love the Circus - i wish the circus would come to our town again...  Aiden would love to go - he's been to the circus once, but i think he was too young, so i don't think he remembers...

So when i was asked to make a couple of circus themed items, i was in my element... 

I made this "Welcome to the Circus" sign for the door:

I made some food tags for the table:

And sweetie tags, oh and i almost forgot about the cones - here are some pics of the final set up:

And the rosettes on the back wall - i made those too...  I love making rosettes, even though it's a lot of work, i just love the way it looks - it just adds that something special to any party...

 Another super cute party - done and dusted!!!  Roll on the next party...

We're in the process of putting in a swimming pool - today was only the second day of digging and i was told that they will finish the hole tomorrow, but they still have a lot to do, so let's wait and see first...  The kids are soooo excited, they can't wait for the pool to be finished (not like they can swim yet, the weather is not exactly playing along)...  We're hoping to have it all done by the middle to end of November - so i will post a pic once it's all done....

I'll share some quick pics of Aiden playing in the hole - he's having an absolute ball messing around in the dirt - i think he might be disappointed once the actual pool comes, because then he'll loose his playground...

Even our cat, Brandy, enjoys playing around in the "sandpit"...  She blends in so well with the ground - you almost can't see her...

So once the pool is in, then only can we start looking at doing the garden - i cannot stand seeing the wall, it drives me mad...  I want to have a beautiful green garden - when i look outside i want to see green - plants, trees - anything but a grey wall...

Anyway, i need to learn to have patience - i know this in not something that happens overnight...

I will keep everybody updated on the progress...
