A big hello and hat pics

As the title says a big hello to you all, I've just been so busy of late and hardly popped in at all. Hope I find you all well and as creative as ever.
I've been making cushion covers and I'm now in the middle of a dora the explorer knitted blanket.
I just wanted to show you some pics of some teaparty hats I made for my DD and her friend who went to a hat party last Saturday at a nightclub in London. DD said they went down brilliantly and everybody wanted to take their pics. The teacups and saucers were a crochet pattern on the web and some of the cakes too, the rest I just made up as I went along. I wasn't very good at handles mind. I hoped it may give an idea for little ones for easter bonnets? and I just wanted to show you all what I was up to.

    Many thanks to you all for your very kind comments. I just make up little bits and pieces just out of boredom and to keep myself busy really. My 2 kids are nearly 17 and 21 now, so crafting for them is virtually non existent now unless it's something specific they need but I like to keep my hand in. I can't do as much now as I used to because of a bad arm and hand but it just keeps everything functioning a bit.
    Many thanks again, hope all of your projects are coming along nicely too.
