New bedside tables for the kids' rooms

So I have these bedside tables that I inherited from my mother that I have been keeping in the closet, not knowing where to place, and then I decided that what if I slap on some new paint and do some nice sponging.....and voilá - new bedside tables for the kids rooms!

 A scotch sprite works well as a sponge :-)

Ta da!

Made some posters for the childrens room

So, I thought it would be a great idea to make a poster that showed the childrens names, dates, time, weight etc in a decorative fashion. Will frame them and hang them on the wall in their respective rooms....ones they have one ;-)

PilLove back on etsy.com

Morning glory...

Var ute och promenerade med Albert imorse och kunde inte låta bli att dokumentera den magiska morgonen, oj! vad vi bor fint!

Made a lamp...

...to hang over our dinner table. I got some help from my wonderful dad with all the more technical stuff and whatever handy work that needed two hands ;-) I'm super delighted over the finished result! It has a much more modern look then our old one. My husband wasn't too delighted but as I am that much more invested in the interior decoration of our home (as he pointed out himself ;-) he said he could live with it....how very kind of him ;-)

A collage

So I made this attempt of two collages in celebration of our 5th anniersary and the fact that we also have been together for 10 years (where did the time go?). I'm actually pretty happy with how they turned out and the printers did a fine job. The collages are ment to be hung next to eachother as I used loads and loads of photos to spell out the word LOVE...it's cute! Also included a few words in each frame....the last one inclueds a poem by E.E. Cummings:

I carry your heart with me
(I carry it in my heart)
I am never without it
(anywhere I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)


I fear no fate
(for you are my fate, my sweet)
I want no world
(for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

Here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

I carry your heart
(I carry it in my heart)

Feeling inspired...

...by the beautiful colors - inside and outside my house! With autumn knocking on the door there are beautiful colors showing up in the garden. I'm especially fond of my hydrangeas that are absolutley gorgeous now.

Happy 5th anniversary dearest Dennis!

The new kid on the block...

...and some of my fave pics at the moment ;-) So this little creature and the rest of the family will take up most of my time in the year to come. However I will ALWAYS have time for my customers, so if you have a request or a question about a product, feel free to send me an email and I'll get back to you.

All the best,

C.

PS. Oooh and we have decided on a name for "the kid" it's Albert

Bought a new mirror for our hallway/entrance

So I've been wanting for a big impressive mirror for the house for a long time but I haven't stumbled across one that I fancied - or one that had a price that fitted my wallet ;-) - until the other day that is! So here it is! I haven't decided if I will keep it as is...leaning against the wall or if we are to hang it properly. Either way I'm very happy with it....it looks great in our hallway and now I can make sure I don't look too awful before stepping outside and greating the world ;-) 

My latest DIY project finished...

...and hung in our entrance above our newly purchased shoe cabinet from IKEA (had an assembly manual on 25 pages!!). I'm so happy with the clean and uncluttered look of our hallway. All it took was a little creative work like punching out approx. 100 paper circles, scrunching them up and gluing them on a a piece a paper, and 2 hours of assembling one single IKEA piece ;-) Oh, and the frames were also purchased at IKEA....


Happy crafting out there!

Our new Fermob garden furniture

So they finally arrived! Our new garden furniture set of 10 chairs and an extendable table from Fermob and it looks great on the terrrace! It took us forever to agree on what colours to go for but I must say that I am very happy that we went all crazy and chose orange chairs as they just pop against natures own palatte of grays, greens and blues. Love it!

Some pics from the garden....I couldn't resist including them!

New project

So I have this new project that I've started. Will see if it ends up looking the way I've imagined in my head...they rarely do ;-)
