Again, today I have been neck deep in trying to sort out the stuff for my daughters naming ceremony and I had my first panic when sitting discussing the arrangements for the day.
So? Have you decided on the table decoration?
Yes. Giraffe themed tags to go on the tea cups and brown and yellow table gems.
And centre pieces? What about the flowers?
Damn, I thought. I hadn't thought of those!
At this time of year the roads and gardens are filled with daffodils so at least that would make things easier... It was just finding something for them to stand in.
After raiding my garden cupboard I found three jam jars that were all the same and gave them a quick rinse (who knows what kind of insects and bugs had been living in them!)
I then measured a length of giraffe print felt which fitted around the circumference of the jar and cut it to size. I also took a length of giraffe print ribbon (the same as the ones on the name tags!) and stuck that to the felt.
I then stuck the felt to the jar and stuck a fimo giraffe to it.
I can't wait for the ceremony now... A giraffe themed afternoon tea - what more could a 7 month old wish for?!
