I mean, is it even possible to turn a boring blue wood room into something cute and nice? Well, first there was the window and the door...with the ornamental wood border, which I found at the fleamarket, this was a start for sure. But even more worse was the plain side of the storage room. To give it some kind of a nicer character it took me some frames, a painting, hooks, metal signs and a lot of logs and…
Well, I don't really know. But at least my husband thinks it is as these things suddenly appear at our house. However what I know for sure is, that this will not be my last project regarding that matter. It all started when I found this great PomPom maker in a store in Cologne (thanks to Marius). After finishing all my inventory stock in wool during the first evening, I was overwhelmed when I hung up the pompoms at the…
Yes, I know what you are thinking: How many buntings does this girl need ?? This is not only my third bunting, I have the feeling that there are still even more to come... The idea was the following: I wanted to start some knitting again, and no, socks would have been too difficult for me, because I am a real beginner here...I needed something really easy, but still something I would deeply enjoy when it is finished. So, the…
Ohhh...I can do that! Thanks to the MOLLIE MAKES magazine, I am totally excited lately about the idea of knitting something, make embroideries, doing crochet, all kinds of this stuff...There are always so many ideas what you can do, and to start something I bought some embroidery hoops. The last days you could have seen me sitting on the porch always with a needle, thread and the hoop in my hands. The result does satisfy me very very much, and…
When my collegue and close friend Julia told me, that she quit her job and leaving the office soon, I was so horrified at first, after a few days it was clear, that I would need an appropriate goodbye gift for her. In other words: something handmade with a vintage look. As we have worked together for quite some years and had visited several places together allover that period, I knew that I had to prepare a nice photo album.…
Well, we all love colourful buntings. There are so many different ideas and you cannot only use nice fabrics, but allover printed paper as well. Today’s bunting idea for our porch was to use old handkerchiefs. The result is: supernice and quick to do project! The most difficult thing was to find enough of the vintage handkerchiefs in different dessins and colours (at the Diakonie Kaufhaus I found some and on Ebay of course). How many you will need? finally I had around 30 pieces available, thats why the front door got their own bunting as well….than iron it down diagonal. As a strap I used left over gift wrapping tape. Our porch and main door entrance looks fantastic. Hope you like it as well!?
Hello sunshine, this was the greatest, lazy sunday afternoon birthday party ever….so relaxed, easy going, enjoyable time with some friends and great cake buffet. When I searched for a nice idea for my birthday party, there were always blogs with this vintage fair birthday party theme and I loved it! In Germany we don’t have these kind of country fairs, so I tried to adopt the theme and built some other stuff around it. Most important thing for me is always the sweets & treats table (the empty spot on the upper right from the cake buffet is reserved for the cinnamon rolls – they were still in the oven). To get the country feeling I added some ponies and also ribbons patched on linen fabric to the table. Not to forget the homemade cherry lemonade in some vintage bottles with doily labeling. The surprisingly fantastic weather was enough reason to put everything out on the porch: cushions, blankets, even the decorated floor-lamp, ballons, the paper baubles, a Hello Kitty pinata, everything was set up outside… We did some crafty thing as well: I provided embroidery hoops, fabrics, lace and stuff and all ladies were sitting in the sun doing some needlework.
