Unique Headband made with sooooo much LOVE!

Are you that person who wants to have something, that no other have? Yup, I am :) But just when it comes to handmade things!!! Unique things, made with Love. Means so much more to me, than some expensive stuff that some poor people,sometimes even children(who works all day in a factory to survive) make. Today I made something with LOVE for my girls! Headbands...
Let's see what I did,ok? :)
I bought some cheap headbands, for only 10 cents. I didn't like them, but I knew that I would do something with them :)

Then I used some colored felt and ''dress'' the ugly headband. I helped myself with a hot glue gun...

And here is the other one(different color), because I have 2 little treasures :)

My next step was to put some details on that boring headbands... I used felt balls and ribbon:

And the other color:

In the inner side i covered the ugly felt junction with some ribbon and hot glue gun:

And finished look... My girls loved this new addition to their hair accessories...

Hope you'll take some time and create something for your kids, because their little hearts are so happy when we do something like this for them and also teach them creativity and grow their imagination...

Wall Art

I was super excited today with what I made.. Wanna know?
Well... It's wall art :) but no, I didn't paint or something like that... I made something else :)
I bought some yellow fabric in Ikea few weeks ago.... And I made a wood frame out of some abandoned wood... I used ''floor foam'' as a base, to be more rounded on the edges... And than i just added fabric and attached it with a stapler. I had some fabric left, so I made - sew 2 pillows for the sofa. You can see everything in the pictures. I love this warm ''spring-y'' feeling in living room...

Sun and hot September,

First day of School!

We have a Kindergartener and a First grader in our house... And here are some of the pics that I want to show you...

I made those flags out of paperboard and fabric. I added some ribbon and leather rope and that's it. I print out the letters and stick them on a flag. I used a got glue gun and for holding the flag i used some plastic stick that i found in our garage and cover them with fabric. My girls were sooooo happy with them, carrying them around the house... If you'll make something like that, let me know,ok?

And here I have another photo(sorry for covering little faces):

That is the photo(without covered faces), that we will have in our scrapbook... And remembering it forever!!! The girls have the signs that I printed out:
- I'm a 1st Grader
-I'm a Kindergartener
I found them on a pretty little Blog called I Heart Nap Time . Check it out...
Send me your Back to School photos if you want. I want to see Your creativity!!!

Hot pink and smiling faces,

Old times - Good Times...

Do you agree with me? I love everything connected with good old days...  And that is why I also love antique carousel. Me and my familly had a fun filled day driving with the antique carousels. We were there with some very special people, who we love the most... My girls tried everything in the park, even got helium balloons - one Princes and one Smurfette :) they were so happy and sweet, that I could just ''eat'' them :) hihi And I'm not the only one :D
Here are some photos of the few things we had fun with... The weekend was amazing, hope that you had a fun and love filled weekend too!!!

Balloons and Cotton Candy,

Petra

Home-made - Ice-cream

Today I made something special for my little ones (and for little older ones too :) hihi). It's home made ice cream and it was yummy... :)
What I used:
 - Organic(from our garden) fruits
 - Strawberry yogurt
 - Brown sugar
 - Little bit of honey
 - Small kind of branches for the sticks for the very natural and organic look(don't forget to peel them)

What I did:
I just mixed all the ingredients together and put the mixture in a muffin baking cup and put it in a freezer. It was done after 10 minutes!


And here are photos so you could imagine our healthy dessert...

When you try it, let me know... And if you do Organic Ice Cream in some other way, let me know too, ok? :)

Sticky little fingers, Petra

Is honesty the Future?!?!?

Do you prefer people that always agree with you and smile at you or do you prefer

honest, direct spoken people who will always tell you the truth,

even if it's not that kind of a truth

that you would like to hear!!!

People are our biggest enemies... But can we do something and change that?

We can start with ourselves and look into our soul...

Do you like what you see in there?!?

If you think you could do something better, change that today...

We can't be perfect, no one is... but we can try to be honest

and not doing harm to other people...

And the sun will immediatelly shine in our lives!!!

Be the Change!!!

Be the Love!!!

Be the Sunshine!!!

And positive things will start to glue on you! But be patient with that...

And always choose good, positive friends!!!

They can change your life in positive or negative way!!!

Your friend,

Petra
