Vinyl record bowl - Step 2.

This is step 2 in my making-vinyl-record-bowls-process. Paint to decorate and thick felt to glue to the bottom of all the bowls.

More Lego.

Yet another Lego bracelet design. This time with wooden beads as well. I have to say though, crafting can be very dangerous sometimes....I almost got a severe injury while drilling all the tiny little holes in the pieces of Lego!!! That does, however, not stop me from doing it all again tomorrow. I am making a couple of these to bring, together with some other things, to a friends house at the end of November. I am hoping they will find some new owners there!

Me and the Girls.

I have been out and about with the girls all day today. I know I usually just complain that they are a handful, but today they have been SO good and we have had SO much fun together. My little sweeties!!! We even went Pony riding for the first time ever and the girls loved it! Above is the result of the visit to the photo booth. Me and the girls!

Zip zip.

I have not been doing much crafting this week. Girls keep me busy and when they are at school there is always something else going on. Anyway, I did however make this little pouch. First time stitching a zipper turned out ok. But only ok, I need to practise! I think however that I have to ask Santa for a new sewing machine for Christmas this year. The one I use now, called Real 510!!!!, is starting to give up on me. I got her at the local hypermarket and she has been very good up until now. But it is time for something else, maybe a bit more advanced than the 2 types of stitches my dear Real can do!! I will send my list to Santa and hope that he will get back to me with something good!

One more season.

Another pair of old, to short, trousers that have been altered to fit one more season. Since I am a "stay at home mom" in a country where you get absolutely nothing from the state this has proven to be a great way to save some extra "dolares"! And the girls are actually very proud, parading around in the park, showing off their new pants that their mama made from old curtains and so on!! So there you go!!!

Papas old Jeans...

This is Papas old Jeans. Now modified to fit 1 of the 2 wild girls that live in my home!

9 weeks and a bit until Christmas.

Its only 9 weeks and some odd days left until Santa knocks on our doors. This means that I have already started to think about Christmas gifts and homemade decorations. The above pictured bracelets are the results of watching the girls play in their grandfathers garden last weekend. The blue ones are 5 separate ones and the white is one long with a little shoe, a Buddha and an elephant. This one is going to be a gift for a shoe crazy friend of mine, for her birthday though. I hope she will like it!

Vinyl record bowl.

A new bowl for the girls to put all their dummies in. I hope the neighbours didn't see me cook the vinyl record in the kitchen oven!!

Hello Kitty and her "patinete"!

This is before and after. The pants where way to short but they fit perfectly otherwise. So mommy transformed them and also decorated with a Hello Kitty patch. The girls where over the moon with happiness when they realized that Hello Kitty had a "patinete", scooter. Our favorite toy at the moment!

Kitchen.

My grandmother is here visiting me for one week. In between entertaining her, the girls and trying to keep up with the ever so boring housework there is no time over for any kind off stress released crafting. I did however paint the kitchen this past weekend, turquoise. So now the kitchen wall matches my kitchen apron!

Super pants.

This is super girl in her new super pants. I changed the pattern a bit so now they fit better. Now I just have to make one more pair!
