Vintage dinningroom pictures

Hello :)
I guess I better start to blog more often again, over the summer I didn't have very much time for blogging and crafting/sewing/baking, but I did some projects that I didn't share yet... here is one of them... our diningroom pictures :)

Very easy to make ;) I sprayed the old frames and the cutlery, clued fabric on the back of the pics and the cutlery on the fabric :))) That's it.

We had a nice summer, especially the last 3 weeks, when my sister from germany was here for a visit. We did lots of fun things, which I'm going to share an other time... Now school started again, Lukas joins grade 1 and JJ's preK is going to start on Tuesday :) Than I will have 4 mornings a week just with my baby (mostly sleeping baby :D) So lots time for lots things to do... I can't wait!!!

So, see you hopefully more often the next time ;)

I did it! My first wedding cake

I made the wedding cake I tried before (preparation weddingcake) on thursday and friday.

 This was my instruction ;)

 The blue icing covers chocolate spongecake, strawberries and choco whipp ;)

 The white decoration is on

 sprinkled with white chocolate shavings and finally stick the hearts in... ready!!!

I was so happy and relieved when I was done :) and I got such a cute compliment: "Yummiest wedding cake ever" :))) That makes me smile :)
