Paris is one of the loveliest cities in the world! From the spectacular Eiffel Tower to the banks of the River Seine, we love everything about this wonderful place!
But if we had to stop for a quick treat, we'd choose a delicious macaron 'tous les jours' (everyday!) Parisienne shops have windows filled with stunning displays of pastel coloured pyramids of macarons! We love food that is equally good to look at as it is to taste!
These pom pom macarons are super sweet in a different way. You could make them in several different colours and hang them from a bag, or display them in a bowl.

Shakespeare's 450th birthday craft
This week we were lucky enough to be in Stratford on Avon, Shakepseare's birthplace, on the 450th anniversary of his birth!
To celebrate, we've made a gorgeous Shakespeare craft project inspired by one of his most famous plays, the sad love story 'Romeo and Juliet'.
We reckon that if Romeo had got his hands on some salt dough and bright acrylic paints, he'd have made his sweetheart Juliet a 'Lovestruck Romeo's Beautiful Bracelet' too!

Woolly woven Celtic cross
Greetings from beautiful, bright, sunny Scotland!
We're staying on a farm surrounded by cattle, geese and sheep. So we thought it would be fitting to use gorgeous coloured wool to wind around sticks to make a stunning Celtic cross. Once you get the hang of these crosses you'll want to make more!
We've seen these crosses more than 1 metre across which look incredible too!

Crufts gorgeous golden broach
This week we're in the UK, which is home of the famous Crufts Dog Show! We're missing our golden retriever Scout, so we've made a little golden retriever broach.
We're not sure if she'd win any obedience awards at Crufts but she's certainly the best dog in the world to us!
This broach can be made in any shape and with any pet. Just make 2 copies of the photo or picture and use one for the basic shape and one for the features.
