with paper and glue

The Easter school break here it's quite long,
which is good but not if you are stuck at home.
Luckily we have a lot of paper to play with.

A made collages.

Columbia Road

I was in London to meet friends from Spain,
it was three years since we last saw each other, lots to catch up.

We went to East London, had a lovely time away from the high
street chaos, browsing lovely shops. Had the best Italian food
n a little deli and a coffee break in a truly vintage tea room placed
in the back of a vintage shop and family run, it was almost like being in their home.

One of my favourite part of London, with independent shops, cafes, flower market.

little DIY

A little craft idea for parties:
tiny flags, cute looking on fairy cakes or sandwiches.

Easy to make with toothpicks and japanese washi tape.

(see also here how I used masking tape).

Good Monday.

Anita's birthday party was lovely but I don't think I will do a big party again! ;^)

So far we didn't have any tantrums, ~~sugar highs were contained~~
and we had just a couple of minor casualties.
Mums had fun drawing and making origami with the kids (better say for the kids),
draw on tablecloths is very appealing to kids and it makes a great keepsake for you.

Competitive games make only unhappy bambini
I banned them from our parties, unless everyone win something.

I had lots of wonderful helpers and little leftovers,
I hate food waste but home made is quite appreciated.
Keep it simple: brownies, popcorns,
mini pizzas, cheese sandwiches and little fairy cakes
are easy to make and easy to eat.
