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 ;)

my new amazing pincushion

I never had a pincushion but alreasy for a longer time wanted to sew one. But now I had a new idea :) Voila!

 Origionally this was a tealigth from the dollorstore... add some fabric, a styrofoam ball and some hot glue :)

before

 Now it decorated my sewing table... it was still a bit bleak... not now anymore :)

 The fabric I got from two very nice friends from Germany :) And it fits perfect to my sewing mashine :)

Ahh, I absolutly love it, it is so much joy to see it every day :)))

Thanks for reading,

Earring holder

My earrings were normaly in a small treasure chest and I had to search for the second one all the time, so I made this earring holder. I love to have my earrings organized now and I have space for more ;) ( I already got 3 new pair :D)

I love the white fabric and the black ribbon and sewed it together. Then I took a cheap canvas (2$ at the dollar store) and fixed the fabric with staples on the back, and ready. It was very easy and it it handy not to search for the second earring all the time :)
Here you can see the white fabric more detailed... I alsolutly love it!!!

Thanks for stopping by,

Lukas's 6th Birthday

My big boy turned 6 on friday. Wow, how time flies!!! I'm a mommy for 6 years now!!!
Here Lukas in the morning opening gifts from germany!!! Thank you sooo much!!!

 We had rice-casserol with apples, raisins and cinnemon... his favorite menu :)

 I asked him which cake he would like for his birthday, and he wanted strawberrycake... here it is.

 For Saturday we planed a Lego-Birthdayparty. Lukas helped me with the preparations and did the invitations and the name tags. I'm so proud of him!

 His crown

 Mini-cupcakes

 ... and the Lego cake :)

 At the party... all kids who were invited came and so we had 12 kids here (with ours). They had fun to play... of course Legos!!! and ate too less... we also had raspberry cupcakes and a legocake with m&m's... so the parents had to help eating :)

And the party was over...
Lukas was very happy with his presents, he liked the Legos the most... of course ;) Thank you very much for making my boy smile!!!
