Best B’day Ever

Long planned and well prepared was today my birthday party. I have seen this funny pop-up cake stall on the internet and was eager to build one of my own. Wood and colours I got from the DIY store in the Netherlands and I am proud to be able to show it today. Fully loaded with cakes and stuff.

Pop-Up Cake Stall

I finished the cakes yesterday and the guests had to decide between caramel brownies, cherry-raspberry-coconut slices or leopard print cake or peanut butter or banofee pie or rhubarb streusel or three chocolate cake. Hmmm, I for myself love the cherry vanilla custard tart. Yummy sunday to you, too and thanks all of the friends for today’s visit. As I said: Best B’day ever.

Deck the halls with spring colours

I could hardly believe my eyes when I was looking outside my window this morning – it was snowing again and everything was covered already in white! Come on! It is the 17th of march today and everybody is waiting for warm weather, sun and the daffodils to start growing in the garden. Nobody wants snow any longer.

House Entrance Spring Decoration

That is why I started working on the spring deco inside the house, trying to just ignore what the weather is doing outside. I brought the ladder in, hung up some birdcages and wooden letters, put mom und child hedgehog in place and feel suddenly not so winterly any more. Lot´s of spring inside!

Crochet Flower Garland

Well, I really have had to hurry with this garland! Since the weather forecast says that the winter is coming back later today with lot of snow and minus temperatures again – I wanted to keep the spring feeling and hang my new garland in the window.

It was raining the whole day yesterday so I had enough time to put all the flowers together and decorate everything…I am gonna try to ignore the snow and think forward of all the warm days that will come very soon! have a nice sunday to all of you! I will do that too, maybe with some cake in the left hand and a nice hot cuppa tea in the other.

New Bunting & Vintage Table Runner

Oh my gosh, it seems like forever, since I posted some pictures on my lovely website. The reason for that was not, that I am the laziest person in the world, no, I was really down with the flu, but it seems like everybody has that at the moment. But Friday was the first day, when I felt a little better and I immediately turned into crafty-Andrea.

Vintage Table Runner

I can show you my new bunting, made out of different sized doilies and my new tablerunner, made out of left over fabrics and lace. I dyed everything with black tea before I got started, to get a more vintage outcome and the different patterns and colours would be closer together and match nicely.

To turn the Saturday into the best day since weeks, the sun was shining and I could enjoy the first latte with marble cake sitting outside in the sun! love that!

Happy Valentine’s Day !

My hubby is getting a supercute gift, which I secretly finished last week already! Well, the original idea I had in mind, seems to be unworkably. I wanted to scratch our both initials in some wooden bark. but: how do I get the tree inside our house? and: how should I wrap the tree up?! so, at the end I decided to embroider everything, and I am quite happy with the outcome!

Valentine's Day

But of course I need a supercute valentine’s card as well! at the end I loved 3 cards and could not decide. That’s why I ended up buying all 3 of them and thinking it over: I am gonna use the one with the cats! I like it the most! hope you do agree with my decision?
