First diy toy for our baby

This past weekend we made our baby her very own plushie toy. It's a bit large but it's meant to keep her company while she's asleep in the crib, taking up most of the space I guess. I hope the baby won't mind. So, I started by going to Ikea to get the cheapest pillow (for its filling) and a cosy, white blanket. 

I used this tutorial, followed it carefully but managed to mess things up anyway (the belly piece fell under the table and was completely forgotten) so our lady whale now has only one fin, but I think it only makes her special. 

the forgotten piece

Kamil prepared and printed out all the pieces, otherwise I'd have to draw them myself and god knows what creature that would have made. 

 

Apart from all the crafting going on we also started collecting some baby clothes. Since I'm not feeling a hundred percent I thought there is no point waiting until the very end to get all the stuff. It's also super exciting to pick all these tiny outfits, little socks and hats. Let's be honest...I just couldn't resist and my feeling a bit worse was just a perfect excuse :)

And the most exciting event that's happening this friday iiiis....Roxy's wedding. We are really looking forward to it. These paper flowers are just a little sneek peek of what's going to be one of the prettiest weddings I've been to. More pictures to come. 

And speaking of previews, here's one of our flat. The makover is slowly coming to an end. There are some final touches left but hopefully, within the next few days, we'll finally have a new flat. Yay!

 Have a fabulous day!

Lately...

We've been enjoying this almost spring of ours recently. We visited some friends, family, spent some time away from town, bbqued a bit (in the rain), watched several films and listened to loads of music, it was what we wanted minus the bad weather. Here is what we've been up to these last couple of days.

During a very short visit at my brother's he magically prepared (seriously, within just a couple of minutes) a super delicious salad, this forest fruit coctail and coffee (I think of my brother as a coffee master, that's for sure). He once said (or at least I think he did) that if he didn't do what he does for a living now, he'd definitely open his own restaurant. 

Next, some quality time with our friends. It's a pity they live in Warsaw, we don't get to see them too often.

This is Henryk. Don't ask.

Ginger made some new friends, too. 

We went to a pottery club in Warsaw called Formy Kolory. We made this lovely cup/pot as a bday gift for our friend. I think it's just the most wonderful idea and we had so much fun painting it. 

We spent the last two weeks at Kamil's parents' house. They were away and we were in charge of the house. We love being there, it's always a little bit like holidays. We even sunbathed for almost an entire 15 minutes.

Kamil had a chance to cooperate with his friend on a small project in Słowacki Theatre.

But then he was back and we ate delicious baked potatoes.

Had some guests over.

We love having these around.

We completed some DIY projects together.

...and ate more delicious stuff.

Drank good wine...

...and ate some more.

Watched beautiful sunsets

...and got to see our cute niece.

Yesterday was super special. My dear friend Kasia gave birth to this handsome boy Mateusz. For the second time in my life I was lucky to meet a new little person just minutes after they were born. It's unbelievably amazing waiting to hear their voice for the first time. Kasia & Łukasz you have a Son and I am soo happy for you!!! Congratulations!
