Crocheting with mom.

My mom is making these beautiful crocheted scarfs. She is so good. She made this one while visiting me in Mallorca.
Girls wanted to model.
I was so inspired that I had to try it for myself. So this is the result of my first ever (!) attempt to crochet; a dolls blanket. I need to fasten all the loose threads and also cover the back with some fabric to even out the crocked sides. Hopefully the girls will want to play with it when it is done.

Girls helping with gifts.

The girls helped me put together these gifts for the teachers at their preschool before we left for Sweden. It is a "thank you" card together with a button flower brooch. They really love helping mommy and always want to join me when I am crafting. Sweet little things they are!

It is like candy!

Pimp my ride.

Got this trolley as a gift from Rättvisa barn. It is an Emmaljunga from 1980-something. My mom has redone it a bit, made a cushion to sit on and also covered the handlebar with new fabric. It is lovely! Thanks mom! Since it is about 20 years old, I guess, it is much more narrow then the new trolley we have back in Majorca. At first I thought this would be a problem and that the girls would not be comfy. But I was so so wrong, THEY LOVE IT!!! The cuddle up together, fall asleep on top of each other and want to go in all the time. Success!!

The blanket is a thrift find I picked up a few days ago. Goes perfect with the trolley!

Posting again!!!

Here I am again. I know I have not been posting in ages but this is because I have been so busy first with my mom visiting for two weeks then my little cousin, age 10, came to visit and then preparing for my yearly 2 months in Sweden. I have now finally arrived at my moms house and can after settling in start enjoying my holidays and hopefully also spend some time crafting. Mind you, the girls will be with me all the time so they will also help with the crafting I guess. Hmmm...

More show and tell.

I have got a new bag again. This time it is Johanna over at Skaparstigen that is the creator. Thank you Johanna!

Show and tell.

Since I have not been doing ANY crafting at all the last few weeks I have nothing to show. I can however show you something else "homemade". These beautiful dresses are all made by ladies volunteering for the Red Cross. The make them to be sold in the second hand shop, Kupan, run by the Red Cross in Karlstad, Sweden. So cute and a perfect fit for the girls!

Flower power.

3 makes a collection right?! Old bedspreads with flowers I got from different thrift stores. Realized yesterday I have got a theme going on.

Wonderful Bag.

I got a nice delivery last week. My new bag from syfroken.se. It is perfect! Fits all my things for when I am out and about with the girls.

New brooches.

Here I go again with the cutting in old children's books.

Recycling.

This t-shirt is now a little girls dress.

In the morning sun.

A friend that came to visit saw these and wanted one for her little girl. Said and done.

Decoupage.

My first ever attempt on Decoupage. Got these little jugs at IKEA for the girls. Decided to try to Decoupage them with pictures from old children's books. I will let you know how it turns out.

Hmm.....

Well, it wasn't me!

New ribbons so that we don't loose our dummies!

Crochet carrots.

Look what I got in the mail today!! Crochet carrots! Made by skaparstigen.blogspot.com. Thank you so much Johanna!

Girls immediately started frying them.

Different kind of art.

Drawing.

Hard to see in this pic but I could not resist to turn my little girls drawing in to a bird. She did the brown part and then I added on the red (head, wing, tail and one leg). I love doing this with their "art"!

Girls are loving our new arts and craft table in the living room. And mommy too!!
