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.

Picture frame.

Hmm.....

Well, it wasn't me!

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!!

Therapy stitching.


Girls are still sick so I do not get much time over for crafting right now. This is however the result of some night-time therapy stitching in front of the TV.

First dummy.

Girls first dummies now proudly decorates the wall in their room. They got very surprised when they first saw that mommy had put their dummies on the wall and immediately wanted them down. After a long discussion they finally let them stay where they where.

"I do not like green pasta!"

Yesterday we had 3-colored pasta for lunch. One of my dear daughters decided that she does NOT like green pasta and carefully sorted out ALL the green macaronis. You have got to love them!

New curtains??

Found these curtains today in a thrift store. I can not decide though if to put them up in the girls room or to use the fabric for something else!!?? Any suggestions...

Not much going on...

The girls have been sick with chickenpox so there has not been a lot of crafting going on in my home lately. I have however managed to get some time to put 2 badges on the girls new cardigans.

When little girls go shopping.


The girls found this car in a thrift shop last week. It came together with its original box from 1970- something. Not bad for 1 Euro. They did not want to let go of it so it came home with us. But mummy liked it to so it was ok!

Birthday cake.

My sister turned 18 while she was here visiting so we made a delicious cream and strawberry cake for her. Turned out really good. The girls eat like crazy!!

Crafting with my little sister.


My younger sister has been visiting and she wanted me to make her a key change/jewelry to hang on her new bag. While I made this one she made a felt "bug" to also decorate the bag.

Bead necklace.


The girls like to play with necklaces. But one is not enough. It has to be all at once! So I have been making some using plastic and wooden beads. The favorites turned out to be the two with the plastic animals glued on.

Play Dough.





The girls and me bought play dough last Friday. It was a great success and the the only thing they wanted to play with the whole weekend.

One more.

New fabric.

It is a cover for a sunbed, or actually there where 2, that I found in a thrift shop yesterday. It has never been used so I am going to wash it and then hopefully it can be turned in to a new handbag. Or rather a "baby bag" to be used when we are out and about, me and the girls.
