Have a rainbow dreams!

Setting up this blog is a huge difference as this time I do not have that much of free time. The layout is not yet what I want it to be and it will take more time than I planned. But you can now Follow my blog with Bloglovin, you can also find me on Facebook!

The New Year has just come bringing new hopes and new dreams. I don't really have a list of goals fo 2015. Instead of that I wrote my dreams on a piece of paper and I wish myself at least some of them came true. This is what I also wish for all of you. 

If we speak about dreaming and having head in the clouds... I came with the idea of a rainbow cloud somewhere on a Pinterest (where else...) and fell in love with it! It reminds me of my Little Girl whose imagination is just surprising. But this one was sewn for another Little Girl called Lea, who has stolen my heart recently:) Little Girl and Little Boy will have their own as well.

As I finally got a concept for Little Girl's room I can start collecting things and you can be sure that I will share the progress in works:) Little Boy's room will also be done, even though he feels comfy in our bedroom. So stay tunned if you want to see what I planned for them!

I share that post with Linda on

 

  

Advent calendar 2014

Last year at this time the whole house smelt like cookies. This year I barely can do anything. I don't really have to mention how time can shrink with two offsprings... Especially when both of them are ill and the littlest one has got a mental leap in addition. I do dream about mind reading! And additional pair of hands, as even my mum, who came with a helping hand got ill. In fact, it is only me who is not ill. Yet...

 

So, I managed to finally finish my advent callendar and bake one kind of cookies. Not much, but still. At least Santa got his cookie! I guess that the plan for this year Christmas is to survive. But there is also a light in the tunnel! Maybe Little Girl will change the nursary, maybe she'll start school earlier, maybe I will finally finish her room which was a big pain as I lost the idea (found it back again), maybe my recent dream will come true...However, in the meantime I'm leaving you with some pics!

Here it is! This year advent callendar (you can see the previous one HERE and 2012 HERE). I love the fabrics and they match perfectly with the garland and hearts above! As far it is the nicest Christmas decor this year.

And that's the work in progress;) (before Little Boy fall into mental leap) 

Did I mentioned that I ABSOLUTELY  A  D O R E charity shops? No? So now you know:) I could spent hours just hunting for goodies like that :) Nothing gives me more joy than something almost digged out, something what could have been someone's favourite, precious, loved... Well, nothing else apart from that and creating something new. My house is full of "things with soul".

I have finnaly found something to keep my ribbons in. I kept them in a shoe box but now it is much better and I don't have to hide it anymore.

I also find quite useful to have my ribbons and laces on  wooden cloth pegs. The just look better on them and they match my new jar perfectly! I just wish I could find another one like that. It would be perfect as a flower pot!

Yes, this is definatelly one of my favourites now! Just wonder how others store their ribbons. Any ideas?

High contrast panel

When Little Boy was born I was desperate to make something in contrast colours. I bought some felt and stucked with the idea. The question was: "what, how and when" ... Had no idea. Two months passed and still nothing, as the last time I sewed felt I said "never ever....", Little Girl is quite demanding, Little Boy has got his needs, and I struggle with diary, sugar and gluten free diet ( due to Little's Boy buttom problem).... No way I'm gonna make it...

But then I just came up with the idea of making it without sewing. And that was it!

I cut out shapes and left the rest for Little Girl. Well almost the rest;) You can imagine what fun she had gluing and sticking felt shapes for her Little Bro! Great time spent together:)

In case you wonder why Little Girl doesn't have her hair done... Yes, we do have a comb, a brush and enty of girlish hair stuff, but that individual stage seems to never end... But getting back to the panel...here you can see the result:)

In the end I sewed all squares together, so they create a panel, but you can make a book or just simply stick/hang them in different places on the wall. And the most important thing is that you can make it with your toddler (if having one) when the baby sleeps :D

As Little Boy sleeps with us he doesn't have own bed yet and his room is actually a guest room or landury, we've decided to make him place on our chest of drawers. There are still some things missing but I'm working on it:) You can't see it, as Little Boy is ill, so doesn't want to cooperate but he is delighted!

So, how do you like it?

For the begining...

Kids change everything. They turn your world up side down and you forget that you had something called "own life" . But they give something much better instead, at least in my case:)  I never considered myself as creative or talented. I wouldn't even try to make anything. But having kids you either have to be filthy rich or talented. I was a bit unlucky so had to search if I have any talent.

So I found that I can cross stitch, knit a bit (very simple things) and sew. A bit again. I don't really have to persuade anybody that thing made by your own bring more joy, or do I?

 

Nothing special but yes, it makes me happy :D
