Party workshop

(these are pictures of Sofia's Fifties inspired Sewing party)

D.I.Y Party planning &decoration Workshop

It's no secret I like to organize & plan parties. It's so fun to come up with a theme (together with the girls) and start brainstorming all kinds of ideas. So I'm very happy to tell you that I will be giving a workshop DIY party planning and decoration in Elle Aime in Rotterdam Sunday the 14th of Oktober. In the workshop I will tell you all about the process of planning a party (birthday, wedding, babyshower etc...) decorating on a budget, choosing a theme, desert tables, goodie bags, icing sugar cookies and much more....

I hope you will come and join the workshop, it will be a party in itself, testing the cupcakes and cookies, crafting and of course you'll get a goodie bag at the end of the party! For more info you can contact me or Lisa (Elle Aime) Hope to see you there!

Buttons

It's been already a long time ago that Sofia celebrated her birthday, we had a sewing birthday party for her and of course I took lots of pictures that I planned to share but still haven't found the time to do so. Here you can see the button lollies we made as a treat for her friends. I recently made them again as a treat for the goodiebag for the DIY gifts and packaging workshop I teached at Elle Aime. They are fun to make and look so cute!

A lot of Buttons....

So it's quite busy here, baking button cookies and chocolate cakes and preparing the fabric piles for the girls sewing tomorrow. Thank you all for the sweet birthday comments!!

10 today

My sweet Sofia is 10 today, I cannot believe she's a teenager now! And I cannot believe I have been a mum for ten years, I'm so lucky having my sweet Sofia as a daughter I love her so much and look forward seeing her grow up even more ( but not to fast please!!) We started the morning with croissants and presents, we gave her a sewing machine.....oh you should have seen her face, she loves it! We made some cupcakes for her classmates with icing and chocolate buttons and decorated with flags made of fabric and patterns. Today we will take it easy and go out for sushi, just the four of us, saturday will be the big party!

Sofia's party invitation

Tomorrow is the big day and my sweet girl wil become a teenager!! Here are the finished invitations for Sofia's sewing party. It was fun working on them together, with the invitation comes a tatoo Sofia designed, the idea is that all the guest will wear one and we also have a dress code red/white and black. There are still so many things to finish before tomorrow but they are all nice things like baking cupcakes, sewing a party dress, decorating the house and wrapping presents so no complaints from me. Better get back to work! Thanks for all the sweet words, I still have a cold but i'm feeling a bit better now.

Sofia started collecting ideas and making drawings for her party in this notebook I made for her and I went to the fabric store to buy some of the fabrics we want to use for the party and some cute ribbons and cherry's too...

Here we start again...

Sofia's 10th birthday is coming closer and we really have to start to work on party preparations. She really wanted to do a sewing party with her friends and I thought it would be a great idea. Here is a mozaik I made with the inspiration for the party, lots of buttons, gingham, red, white and black and red summer fruits and lots of icecream and cupcakes.
