Future gifts

Yeah! I finally managed to knit Mary-Jane's! I've been wanting to knit these for a while now, but the patterns I found were to hard for me. Then I stumbled across this pattern : http://home.howstuffworks.com/free-baby-bootie-knitting-patterns2.htm
They're not hard to make, it just takes concentration and counting. I wish I had made these for my girls when they were little babies, Baby A is trying to walk now, so these wouldn't be too safe.


These booties I've been making for a while now. Super easy and not much consentration!

New cousin

We got a new member of our family! A sweet little boy was born to my sis-in-law two weeks ago. Look at all that hair! Prinsesse E enjoyed holding him!
Every little boy needs a tie! I got this idea from Etsy ( love that site!) I cut out tie shapes and sewed it on onsies. So simple and fun!

A little bit of spring


We haven't had that much snow this year, but I have a feeling we'll have a really long winter. I actually really like winter, but by Feb I'm getting tired of it (since it starts so early here..... ) So a little bit of spring inside always helps to lift the mood.

Valentine's chair backers

I've been wanting Pottery Barn's kids chair backers for a while, but they are a little bit out of my price range. Anyways, I decided to make my own.
One with stripes for my youngest. Polka dots for my oldest.

I embroidered their names on. And of course everything I make has lots of mistakes, these are no exceptions....But they are still cute...
Now, all I have to do is to fill them with love notes and candy!

Daddy/daughter dance 2010

Last year my daughter and husband went to their first dance together. They had so much fun and couldn't wait for this years dance.
Where we live there is only one dance like this, and it's always close to valentine's day. It's a special treat for both daddy's and little girls!





My husband shaved his head and face, and put on his good suit. What a well groomed hottie!! And of course Miss E. put on her fancy dress, sparkly tights and shoes, and my jewelry.


And of course we had to curl her beautiful hair. Her hair curl so good (not like mine!), I just think it is so much fun!

Cheap redo

Loving to look around blog land for inspirations, I've seen this all over. It can hold a candle, or other decorative items. I went to the dollar store and got two candle holders and two vases. A total of $4! Add a little super glue, and there you have it! A whole new, more expensive look. I'm planning to do this with plates too, to make cake stands...

Valentine's pictures

Tried to take some pictures of baby. She wasn't too willing, but I got some shots...Moments after I took the one with the pram, it tipped over. Fortunately no babies were injured during photo shoot....
