Ahoy there me hearties

Another non knitting post but this is what has been keeping me away from the needles :)

We had a pirate party to celebrate our cheeky chops 3rd birthday. Here he is blowing out the candles on his pirate ship cake.

Meet 'Mick' the pirate pinata. I named him Mick after the big mouth that my husband made for him. He was filled with lollies and tissue paper. He took 2 days to make and a couple of seconds to be destroyed . Next time I will re-enforce with wire the top where the string is attached .

More paper mache. These are treasure chests that I made for party favours. They were filled with 'jewels' and 'pirate gold' and were a hit with the kids.
