Weekend's Fun: Towpath Café
















We love a good brunch here at home. At least on day of the weekend we try to go for a brunch somewhere. The most popular place since we moved to Broadway Market has been Little Georgia - a tiny restaurant from the region of Georgia with excellent sandwiches, eggs with smoked salmon, berries smoothies and delicious coffee.

Nevertheless, today we've had such an incredible sunny autumn day, with blue sky and a very pleasant cold breeze. So we decided to take the bikes and visit a very cute cafe near Dalston, on the Regent's Canal towpath - The Towpath Cafe.

The pictures above are not mine. Unfortunately I always forget to take pictures from the nice places I go here in London. And today was so sunny, AAAAAH, what a missed opportunity. Anyway, the place is really good. Lovely staff, nice vintage furniture, welcoming atmosphere, and the food was super tasty.
We've shared a grilled cheese sandwich with spring onions and jam (YUMMY!) and a sausage sandwich. Coffee was creamy and delicious as well.

I recommend! Next time I promise to take my camera with me :)

Weekend's Fun: The Thrifty Stitcher

These are the snapshots from the sewing class I went to this morning!
































It was so cool! In the end I dragged my bestie Silvia to come with me, it was amazing!
The teacher, such a lovely girl called Claire-Luise, was really great. Each of us had to finish a cushion by the end of the class. Do you like our designs? The tweed one is from Silvia, I did the denim cushion. 
We learned how to use the sewing machine, how to do different types of trimmings, it was so cool!

I am really excited now to keep going with my craft projects, that was all I needed to push myself again and give life to my dream of making Made By Who more than just a blog online!

If you're in London and are interested in this class, go to their website!

Weekend's Fun: Boat trip

I've finally got the pictures from Silvia's birthday boat trip we went on a few weeks ago. We spent 5 hours, on the Regents Canal, from Angel to Little Venice. The boat accommodates 12 persons maximum, and you can bring food and drinks. I made THE best cake I've ever baked, it was a vanilla sponge with strawberries and cream, YUMMY!

It was such a lovely autumn day, sunny but chilled. The canal is so beautiful and so alive, full of families and friends walking, cycling, chatting in the cafés on the sidewalk. Every now and then you cross with another boat - a big part of them are proper homes and you can see someone making tea for breakfast or reading the newspaper - or hired ones like ours.

Here there are a few snapshots from my LCA camera:
