Sometimes, for instance while riding a bus or train, my pre-schooler asks me for a story. I always get stuck on my own version of Snow White. Not because I lack imagination, but that’s just the first thing that comes to mind.
That’s why I love these Story Telling Cards by Eeboo so much. Just pick [...]
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 [...]
I’m a big fan of the Dutch crafty blog ‘Deze is ook leuk‘ - they manage to find one cute DIY project after the other! A while ago I found this great video tutorial, that was originally posted on The Storque by Julie Schneider aka yoursecretadmiral. I like how they’re showing us how to do [...]
Lately I’ve been reading some very interesting, but very uncool books. Books with names like ‘Twitter marketing for Dummies’, for instance. The book is great and very helpful, but I feel slightly embarrased pulling it out of my bag when in public. I’m also hooked on Stieg Larssons trilogy about Lisbeth Salander, and that’s also [...]
No excuse not to recycle your magazines, newspapers & used-wraps! With this beautifully crafted raw wood-grain template you’ll make a whole bunch of little pouch size envelope in no time.
Comes with a twine tie for hanging and instructions, but it’s really simple:
find a nice piece of paper
put the enveloppe template over the piece of paper
use [...]
Op de blog ZenHabits van Leo Babauta, een vanuit-huis-werker-met-6-kinderen, vond ik deze lijst met maar liefst 30 tips voor iedereen die vanuit huis werkt. Als veel-te-drukke WAHMer ben ik dol op alle tips die op welke manier dan ook enige rust in mijn leven kunnen brengen. Vooral punt 3 vind ik erg nuttig - en [...]
Cute & handy, these mini clasp purses by Em en Gee Designs! Ideal to transfer your iPhone, a small stash of money and your creditcard form one bag to another. (and if you’re a good stasher, you might even wriggle in your lip balm and an emergency tampax too ;-))
Me, I bought myself a fake [...]
My kids love tents. I’m talking about indoor tents here, not actual tents out in the field (well, they’ll probably love those too, but they have never really experienced one, poor things).
This morning I read Babyccino’s newsletter and found these great colourful pegs, from Mommy Toolbox. On their site I also found a lovely idea, [...]
GaatjesMakers zijn strijkapplicaties waarmee je in een mum van tijd allerlei gaatjes in (kinder)kleding herstelt. Makkelijk, snel en nog superleuk ook. En bovendien doe je zo een stuk langer met je kleding - altijd fijn in tijden van crisis!
Met een enthousiast hollende-en-vallende praatjesmaker in huis hebben wij namelijk aardig wat gaatjes te herstellen. En [...]
As a designer, with an internet connection, I get frustrated inspired every day. There’s so much great stuff out there! In the early days, there was great stuff too, but at least you didn’t know it existed, so you could feel like you actually made something that hadn’t been made before.
I felt the same [...]
