Roman turned 2 on the weekend and we had the family around for a little party. It was lots of fun and we all ate far too much party food!
The morning of the party, hubby and I put together a little cake for him. Roman loved his ‘Car Cake’
Along with the Felt Play Mat I made for him, I also made up this Dinosaur Tail. I used this tutorial by Jess from Running with Scissors to put it together.
I went looking for fabric to make it and found this taffeta. I know taffeta is a strange choice, but the print was so cool, I had to get it! I used a double layer of felt for the spikes, but I don’t think felt was the best choice as the velcro from the strap sticks to it and fluff it up.
He got given a truckload of trucks from everyone and has been having lots of fun filling them up and pushing them around. Happy 2nd Birthday Roman!

Yay! Happy Birthday Roman. I love the fabric you used for the dino tail and it looks like he does too. The car cake looks really cute too.
