Christmas cards

Now that all the cards are on their way I can finally show them to you. Made of balsa wood ...

 

... and embellished with some glitter left-overs that MiniMojcek Nr 1 needed for a school project.

I hope the wood didn't break in the mail!

So now the mystery is solved.

Feeling Christmassy

Getting in the mood...

Toys toys toys

You know that feeling, when you see something and you just want to have it? Eventhough it's not really ment for you? Eventhough it's just a toy?

But of course it's not just a toy, it's a Lego Atlantis temple. And you buy it because you want it. I got it some years ago but recently the kids - knowing that it was mum's - asked me if they could build it. I agreed but the temple remains mine. Mine. Mine. Mine...

Some people just never really grow up, do we?

A sneak peek

It's almost December and it's time to start thinking about Christmas cards!

You can't really guess what the cards will look like but I surely like these ... formations.

Hessian Tiger Vest

What do you do if a friend of yours is celebrating his birthday? Or at least you think he is...

You collect all the tiger scraps you can find in your house and make him a Hessian/burlap tiger vest.

What else, right?

Right?

Well, it turned out it wasn't his birthday at all. His birthday was in May. But he still loved the ... thought? The present.

Recently also MiniMojcek Nr.2 was celebrating his birthday and he wanted a "fruit cake with fruits and cake and cream and raspberries and mandarins and peaches and fruit and cake." So this is what he got!

And he got the truffles as well, although he didn't ask for them!

Update - C

C as cute, I guess :-)

As I already mentioned, we spent endless hours working on the terrace, making it watertight. And pretty. So we were extremely careful when applying the top layer to make the surface even, uniform and smooth. Which it was!

Until the next morning :-)

Update - B2

B as books.

Remember a few months ago I wrote about a book my mother-in-law was writing? Where I was the editor, photographer, page designer, pretty much everything but the author?

If you've ever published a book, you know how much work is behind it. If you haven't - you have no idea how much work there is behind a book. No idea.

So I'm happy to say that after all the work, the book is now here, in my hands :-)

I just love the smell of a new book fresh from the press!
