Autumn leaf masks

Autumn leaf masks: Remember my carnival masks templates? I shared them last year and used felt and cardboards to make them .

Last week I used the same templates to make autumn leaf masks,this time with different kind of leaves . The girls always love to collect leaves during our walks so that was a fun activity for them!

I used the owl template and added different layers of leaves,feathers and small branches. And made an Autumn crown for the little one,they said they were the “king of the owls” and the “lord of autumn” ?

It was a fun way to welcome autumn and we studied the varieties of leaves and trees,then they always came up with other ideas for imaginary play and games! Do you like them?what kind of autumn leaves mask are you ready to create? ?

Moana inspired birthday party

Moana inspired birthday party! As we were welcoming autumn I remembered that I’ve forgotten to share our Moana inspired birthday party !

That was for our girl’s 5th birthday,we weren’t at home so I needed really easy DIY ideas (I even wanted to cook the croissants and doughnut with our recipes but we haven’t an oven so I just bought them at the bakery shop,they were delicious!)

Before leaving the house for that vacation I planned a few easy things at home,like some templates from the movie that I laminated, the hook ( that I made from cardboards ), the coconuts and some flower necklaces.

Are you curious about the rest of the decor?Check the photos below!

What do you think about it! I only chose easy ideas and I am pretty proud about the result, and my girls loved it! The perfect ocean birthday party!

Now enjoy the new season!xx

Collar pattern

Collar pattern! Well I am updating the blog and just realized that I need to reshare my collar pattern! It’s one of my favorites so I hope the blog post finally works now! You can find it anyway on my Instagram and Pinterest ??

Here is my own pattern! An easy one, to start: the removable collar that you can mix&match with shirts, jumpers, dresses or cardigans.

I made a big one with an additional ruffle,but you can avoid the ruffle if you want an easier version! Also you can use the fabric of your choice. For this one I upcycled a white sheet,but all prints or embroideries are welcome!

You just need to print the pattern and cut two pieces of fabric,sew them inside out leaving a small whole (to flip the fabric) and finish the collar with a neat seam.

Vegan figs toast

Vegan figs toast! Already 18th September! Say what? The month is almost over! And autumn is almost here too… There is a lot of things I love about September, the cooler weather (but usually still nice) apples, figs,nice sunsets,my mom’s birthday…?

And as there are a lot of yummy veggies in September today I wanted to share an easy snack idea with figs. But let’s do it vegan?

So we picked some figs from our parents garden and made bread all together! Then I found a tofu cream as a cheese alternative and voilà, added some nuts and I don’t usually drink wine but if you like it must be yummy with it! Do you like figs? For me they’re the transition from summer to fall, like a September symbol ?

As I always say, I am not vegan but they to reduce meat meals and always prior vegan/plant based alternatives. So that’s why I chose that tofu cream, it’s really tasty and we already know all the benefits of a vegan lifestyle,so let’s promote it!

Hop you like it! xoxo

Eggplant pie

It’s time for another seasonal recipe! And it involves eggplants and tomatoes,two of my favorite summer veggies/fruits. I am realizing that I share a lot of savory pies,they are great in order to eat different veggies in one dish and easy to make too,so handy! This one has a lot of cheese so it maybe hard to find a vegan alternative (we try to have a mostly 100% plantbased diet but we do eat dairies and eggs,and reduce as much as possible meat and fish)

?Ingredients: 2 eggplants,3tomatoes, crust dough, provence herbs,1/2 cute parmesan,1/2 cup gruyere,2tbsp olive oil.

?Puff pastry: 2 cup flour,1 tbsp salt,250gr plant based butter frozen, 2/3 cup cold water. Grate the butter and add it to flour (I put the flour in the fridge 15min) slowly mixing. Pour the cold water into the dough. Mix. Wrap with a cloth and leave it in the fridge for 30min. Roll the dough,fold a rectangle three times and let it chill in the fridge again for 1hour.

Cut the eggplant in thin slides,drain and lighty fry in a pan. Preheat the oven 180°

Fit the crust into a pie pan,prick with a fork and oven 10min 180°

Make one layer with the eggplant slides,another with tomato slides,last one again with eggplant. Then add parmesan, provence herbs, gruyere add some tomatoes on the top and olive oil.
