Birthday Playdate

This year we wanted to celebrate Miss Kiki's birthday a little bit more special than the last few years. She hasn't had a party with outside school since her third birthday. Instead of hosting another party, this year we opted for a simple playdate at home.

As a cake alternative, I ordered these yummy macarons from Liel Patissier. The macaron stack used 2 dozens of assorted macarons and she was so nice to print me the banner to go with them.

For lunch I ordered the usual Nasi Tumpeng from Regina's Bakery. We regularly order from them for events and this time my friend there gave the whole tray as a present for Miss Kiki. How nice! Thank you so much for your generosity!!

Nasi Tumpeng from Regina's Bakery

So I had about a dozen girls playing in the house, and it seemed like they all had a good time. It took some time for them to warm up to a new place and new friends (this is a mix of friends from the different classes and schools), and it was raining in the morning.

When Miss Kiki found out that I had ordered Nasi Tumpeng for her playdate, she requested pasta to serve to her friends. So I made spaghetti bolognese for the kids and it was a hit! Miss Kiki was spot on after all.

The rain finally stopped so after lunch the kids were able to go in the trampoline.

We also had Ice Jelly drink from Kayu Manis, courtesy of my friend V. Thanks a lot, dear!

Then we made a volcano.....

And we blew bubbles...

Then another friend came....

And more friends came!

I forgot to take a picture of the heart shaped macarons I ordered for the kids to take home... they are from Dulce Bene and are also yummy. Well, I managed to take a picture of the only two left....

And here is the picture of more wrist wallets!

My back was sore for a few days afterwards, but overall it was great!

Thank you all who came and made Miss Kiki's day extra special!

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan. I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Japan Trip June 2016 - Part 9 - Osaka

It was a super hot and bright morning and we were all packed and ready to ride the train to Osaka. We had no excuse to take a taxi so we walked to Kyoto Station... It was a rather short ride considering we moved cities, it was still around noon when we arrived at Osaka Station. The AirBnb property I had booked looked close to the station on the map, but it was further than expected. We were so sweaty by the time we got there, mostly because of our backpacks and our suitcases! I was very impressed Miss Kiki carried her backpack without complaints even though it was pretty stuffed by then. Taken from Osaka Station We had to change our wet and sticky clothes upon arrival, and after a bit of rest we decided to head out. First to Tenjimbashisuji Shopping Street listed on a tourist guide just over 1 km away. It was so hot and sunny I regretted not taking a hat for any of us. I was lucky I hadn't forgotten to bring my sunglasses. When we got there, we real...

Motykas in Asia 2016 Part 7 - West Java

One day after we arrived in Jakarta from Phuket, we went on a road trip to Bandung, West Java. We were on a roll! Hahaha. Our first destination was the White Crater, a beautiful place located in Ciwidey, outside Bandung. We left our home at around 7 am and arrived at the crater at almost noon. It was a loooong drive. Nonetheless, the view was breathtaking. It was a bit chilly up there, even the Winnipegers pulled out their jackets. :D The crater was pale green with strong sulphur smell, they recommend a maximum of 15 minutes at the bottom. Around the crater were serene looking tree barks with little or no leaves. During a certain time of the day, there would usually be fog coming down over the crater but we didn't get to see it. We spent about an hour at the crater and we moved on to the Rancabali Tea Plantation about 3 km away for some pictures. Miss Kiki was so...
