Pinatafest ; the Uk's biggest pinata bash!

We're planning a party on the 3rd of August at Beaver works in Leeds. We've been making them for quite a few years but we've never had the chance for a proper celebration because we're generally too busy!


Tickets will be £8 plus booking fee available from http://www.jumborecords.co.uk/tickets.asp?sort=&event_id=15779.
There will be bands and acts as well as more piñatas (containing prizes) than you can shake a wet stick at! Although most of the piñatas will be for display purposes only we'll still have more than enough to out piñata the hardiest attendee! http://pinatalady.blogspot.co.uk/p/blog-page.html for more information. You can also find the event on FB

If there is anything you'd like to smash up then why not drop us a line and we'll get it knocked up for the party!

Papier mache coffins, cheap, affordable and kind to the environment.

We've had a few funerals lately and deaths of people we know. I  said that when I die I expect someone to make me a coffin but I've been told that when I do I'll have to make my own because no one I know is brave enough to attempt making one!

I'm not sure how I feel about keeping my own coffin around the house or even in the cellar but I definitely thought it was something interesting to look into. I like the idea of having a green coffin made out of recycled materials that will rot down into the earth quickly. I'd also love something that's quirky and suits me.I like the idea of having something that makes people smile when they see it. Maybe something bright and eye catching, that's more like a work of art than your typical funeral ware. Or perhaps I'd go for something black, iconic and ironic.I'll have a go at a couple and put pictures up, when I finally have time. It's not everyone who gets to design their own coffin!

I didn't make the coffin in the picture, it's actually a coffin piñata but I thought it was appropriate (for me at least)!

Pinata cookies!

We saw these online and thought we'd share! They are such a fabulous idea. The link above tells you more and how to make them. They're a fabulous idea for a children's party- although I'm not sure how many parents will be able to find the time to make them! If we've time me might have a go at making them later with our kids and put up pictures of the results.

Here's our most recent order, finished and ready to go. We're in the process of making a series of fabulous people piñatas that you just can't buy in the shops!

As well as some popular characters we'll be making stripper piñatas for hen and stag nights and some classier ones too. We might also end up making the odd less savoy character for parties, we'll just have to see what the future brings.
