Little Weekend Links 62

This week, I’ve been working on my new project that will hopefully be ready to share with you soon. I love having something so hands on to do that doesn’t involve staring at a screen – a simple craft. There’s something to be said about the relaxation that can be found in measuring and cutting and gluing and creating.

Jorge and I celebrated three years together this week with a dinner at the lovely Apero (where I decided I still don’t like the taste of snails – something I decided in Paris at the age of 15 and never tried again until now) followed by sweet, minty mojitos at the little Mexican cocktail bar where we had our first date.

I’m hoping to have some decent weather this weekend so I can take the camera out and about. Fingers crossed. What are you up to? Anything exciting?

Here are some links for you:

• Bored Panda’s great for a laugh with fun kitchen gadgets, banana art & creative pregnancy announcements.
