Arlo turned seven on the weekend, and had a great time celebrating with his friends and family members. I'm still finding it hard to believe I have a child who is so old- definitely not a little one anymore. I went a bit sentimental and looked through all his baby photos. He was very tolerant but did roll his eyes a little after a while. I can't resist those round-headed, smiley baby photos of his though.
He asked me to make him a scarf for his birthday- it's been getting really cold in the mornings here on our walks to school. So I made him a chocolate-brown one. The outside layer is very warm and thick wool fabric that I cut from a discarded jacket previously belonging to my grandmother. She likes it how I recycle old clothes and gives me her cast-offs. I had to sew different lengths of this wool together to get the right size so it has a bit of a patchworked look. And then I lined the scarf with a soft vintage wool in brown and orange plaid. Warm and cosy for wintertime.
