Would you like a sneak peek into the houses and lives of twelve Dutch craftygirls - including ours? Then read on…
Some of you might know that earlier this year 3 sweet japanese ladies came to our house to take pictures of our interior. They were making a book about handmade Dutch interiors. We spend a [...]
I’m always on the look-out for cute and funcional lunchtime items. And this handy fork with cute casing definitely comes to mind when making a wishlist of all things I’d like to put in my 4YO lunchbag! It would make eating her daily fruit salad even nicer AND keeps her bag a little cleaner afterwards.
It [...]
Cute birdy bookmark which gently grips itself to pages for a better hold - and a free download too!
There’s no escape: autumn has come upon us. No crying over losing summer (as there still might be hot and sunny days ahead), but instead let’s celebrate all things you can do in autumn! Like: long [...]
Summer holidays: it’s great once you’ve reached your destination, but the roadtrip can sometimes be tricky…
We went to France, by car. It was a 8 hour drive, with two kids ( a 4 year old and a 1 year old). Thankfully, it wasn’t too hot. And we prepared very well: we had a great travel [...]
A little while ago I posted a craft project for DIY I Spy Bottles. I made two! For Lena I made a fairytale themed I Spy Bottle, containing a single shoe, a crown, Snow White, a pink heart, a golden coin, a real pearl and so on. I put them in a big bottle and [...]
…and yes, they actually work! Just balance them, by the head, on the top of your finger, and these butterflies will look like they’ll fly away any moment.
I love the fact that you can make them yourself with a piece of paper and two coins. It’s a perfect craft to do with your kids, and [...]
Stitchable stationery - well, why not? Just kidding, I love these embroidery cards by Jenny Hart! They’re a great way of learning kids how to use needle and thread. And the result is bound to be cute, so it’s very rewarding too
These ready-to-embroider folded cards become mini works of art when stitched—simply follow [...]
A while ago, we build a cute wooden bunk canopy bed for Lena. The lower bed is for sleepover parties, the top bed is hers. It’s really cute, but it does need some decorating. So for her birthday, I’m collecting a lot of bird posters and pictures, which I want to hang on ther wall, [...]
The day before yesterday I posted a blog on these supercute I Spy Bags. Like I told you before: I’m too late to buy one online, and I’m a no good crafty girl (can’t sew, can’t knit, can’t build a closet) so I thought up a little plan. I searched the web a little further [...]
I’m late.. again! We’re going on a holiday soon. To France. It will be a 12 hour car trip (well, 6, but I insist on a mini-break every 2 hours). And only now, the last weekend before we leave, I start thinking: ‘Maybe we should buy some car appropriate stuff to entertain the kids with…’
After [...]
