Labels for favors and some cakes
Hello! It's been a while but I have spent the last month in Spain :))) In that time we celebrated my niece's baptism and these are the labels for the favors, sorry about the pics, I know they are not great (done with my phone, not good) I also made some cup-cakes and the cute girl face went on top of the cake!
It is a shame I don't have photos of the cake, it looked awesome!
I hope you like it!!

Handmade Wooden Play Kitchen / Cocinita de madera hecha a mano
Hello everyone!
I have been meaning to do this post since Matilda's 1st Birthday! And here it is a month later!
This cute little kitchen was her birthday present from "Papi" and "Mami", we made it so it was ready for her birthday, it is made out of an old TV stand and I think it turned out quite nice.
I really like (looove) play kitchens and play food since I was little and I wanted Matilda to have her very own one, I thought it was the perfect present for her birthday! I wanted a wooden one as I think they look way better than the plastic ones and they are more durable ( good point, specially with a little one who loves banging things against each other!) but I soon realized that they were more expensive than I had thought (waaay more expensive) so we decided to build one instead and to be honest I enjoyed this project quite a lot (despite the fact that it took 4 coats of paint plus the primer).
Thanks to "Papi" Matilda has a great kitchen at a very low budget and the best part is that she plays with it every day! (more than 3 min which is her average with everything else). I couldn't have done it without him, he was in charge of the "measuring, sawing, drilling and hammering" and I was the one in charge of the "designing, painting, sewing, painting, painting".
Now we are working on a play fridge! what a lucky girl! ;)
If you have a little one I assure you that it will be the best present you can get him/her so don't think twice, get yourself a piece of furniture that you can convert into the perfect play kitchen!!
It doesn't usually look this tidy ;0)
"La Abu" bought the cutest little set of pans and pots for Matilda and the rest of the pottery, tea set and play food were presents for her birthday.
I hope you like it!

Red & Pink 1st Birthday Party / Fiesta de Cumpleaños en Rojo y Rosa
Matilda is one year old!!
I had been planning the birthday for a couple of months and I started with the decorations, invitations, favors, etc a month ago. I wanted everything to be handmade or as much of it as possible. After some web searching ( visit Paula's blog at blog holamama for great birthday parties and more ) and the ideas I had in mind everything turned out quite nice and what I like the most is that it was on a low budget!
We celebrated it at home and had all Matilda's little friends round, everything went perfect!
We had great fun and the little ones were brilliant.
The entrance so everybody knew where the party was!

This one ended up smashed by little hands! a lot of fun!
Coffee, Tea, Sugar
These were the favors given to the little guest, homemade jam, each of them had the guest's name engraved on the jar and spoon.
My sweet little girl who was on her best behavior, she enjoyed every minute of the party!
I hope you like it!!

Birthday Hat / Gorro de Cumpleaños
Matilda has got her party hat already!
I'm not sure how long she will wear it for, when I tried it on her it lasted for 2 seconds!!
We'll see, I may be lucky and have time to get a shot! :)
