This pdf was created in August last year. I kind of forgot about it. But it’s still a fun summer activity pack.

My plan was to come out with a brand new 10 page freebook each month, then 2 months later I was hired to do a very similar thing (but for a much bigger blog) 🙂 I’m thankful for the opportunity that continued through the year. I can give you that link in a post later today (I want to collect all the published links in one post).

This paper plate DIY bunny craft might not be the simplest to make. As you will need to paint lines. However, it looks cute and it’s fun to make

You will only need paper plates and:

paint,

brush and

scissors

We paint on the plates only and cut out the bunny ears from a second plate. You can use any paints. I used tape to stick the bunny ears to the body.

I like to use black as a contour colour. Apply it at the very end if all the paint has dried already.

Here is a little printable activity mixed with a cardboard DIY. I loved talking about the Snowman’s and our emotions with my little one. We had some snow here three days ago. It made her a little bit sad that all the snowmen are gone by now. So I thought this was a great opportunity to talk about our feelings and emotions. She is 2.5.

First I created the printable files on my ipad, then printed, cut and coloured the carrots and the accessories. Then I cut and glued them to the cardboards.

You can download the files writing any number to the input field (including 0), then it will ask for your email address to send the file. Have fun!

This is the beginning of the end. It’s the last month of 2020. December the 1st.

And if you’re like me, you can’t wait this year to end…

I’ve got a feeling that almost everyone feels this way. So I started planning early and will decorate the house later today.

And others may find this time of the year difficult and I just want to send them a million virtual hugs, to everyone who feels like this. We all need to give and receive millions and millions of hugs.

I’ve never been waiting for Christmas and end of year this much before. I had a lazy attitude to put the tree up on the 23th of December or even later. This wasn’t that uncommon amongst my friends and family. But now I have a daughter who will love her calendars (she has a chocolate calendar that I might regret later, and wooden toy animals).

I will upload the rest later this week. You can sing up to my monthly newsletter here if you want to be notified:

I can’t believe I forgot to post this. I started illustrating animal letters back during the first lockdown when we were living in Kingston Upon Thames. I left it unfinished as it is a big piece and I knew I would have countless iterations. Shortly after the lockdown ended, we moved to Milton Keynes. Summer was almost back to normal, unless you went outside to see everyone social distancing in a mask. I made an Etsy listing with the unfinished cards, only showing a few of the letters (three of them to be exact). Then a lady from the United States ordered a pack of cards from Etsy. Wohooo, that first sale dance… but now I really needed to put myself together and do those last iterations I had in mind. So I finished the alphabet during second lockdown. And I made a youtube video.

It’s our first proper* Halloween in the UK and still, it’s not going to be a real one this year (because of 2020). But we’ll visit a Pumpkin Patch next Monday and carve pumpkins and decorate the house. I’m experimenting with a not too sugary, agar-agar based zombie bear jelly candy. We still can find so many things to do. But not sure we will go Trick or Treating as we planned.

I’m not encouraging my readers to go and Trick or Treat like you did last year, as it’s not recommended to grab sweets from the same cauldron. I found this article that I recommend to read: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54180119

The second thing I would recommend is what we are going to do. I will prepare little treat bags and place some in front of our house with a sign that says: “Don’t wake our demons” – our dogs, as they go mad if there’s someone at the door knocking. I’m not sure if anyone will notice us at all, as our house is the last one in our street and a bit behind other houses. We’ll see 🙂

I have two printable pdf files if you want to prepare treat bags:

There are two bag designs: a monster and a cat 🙂 Please tag me on instagram or facebook if you make them, I would love to share it.

Have a nice Halloween Everyone!
