House from box

Boxes... My boys love them in every size and shape :) They make tunnels and all kinds of things out of it :) This time I helped them with a glue gun... It has a never ending options. We are still adding to it.

 

They love to add the details :)

Spooky window

This year I wanted to decorate a little different for Halloween then the last couple of years so I decided I'll go with the bright purple instead of orange.My vision was to have bright purple color coming from the window. But all the fabric I found in the store was little pricey to use it for only one time.So I went to the next craft store and I had the idea that I used couple of years ago to have a snow flakes on the window.I simply used the static of the wrapping foil to keep it on the window.No glue, nothing just the simple static from the gift wrapping foil :)

Now the black shadows can go on the window to create more spooky feeling :)

Ghost

The best idea with this little ghost is that if you have a kiddo I am sure you have everything you need to make it :) It is made from simply glue .The base you put it on is a parchment paper and you just have to let it dry for about 2 days. You can draw easily on it and it's a fun project with kids. The original idea is coming from here .

First I just outlined the shape:

Then after couple of minutes I just filled it out 

After it's dry I carefully peeled it off:

October is for Halloween :)

October is here and friends dropping by for a spicy tea and my kids are very excited as we are slowly staring to decorate for Halloween.One of our first project for this holiday is half cute and half scary ( I don't like scary things very much I can jump from somebody sneezing behind me) .Here is the idea I saw on the internet  here  It was so easy and fast to make and I love the result :

 I've got some simple foam balls:

Then I just used a toothpick to keep the together:  

Sharpie for add the "look" :)

Painting Polkadot Forest

I don't think I had a day without not saying at least once "polka dot" 

So here is a polka dot paint with an owl:

Nope! Not Photoshop :) Just shadow from the curtain but I thought it looked cool.

  

Lulu the hedgehog is giving you a mushroom :)

 Back to polka-dot :)

Yep I am eating pistachio :) 

Felt, garland, sunshine in the fall

I always loved felt so I started to craft with them again. My mom use to make beautiful things out of felt. I wish I could show you with pictures... She made puppets and all kind of things. She also used lots of beads to add finishing touches. I created this garland in this spirit and memory :)

  It was so sunny I had to push the table to the window so I could enjoy the last days of fall without rain :)

The play mobiles you see on the left corner? No I wasn't playing with them :) My little 4 years old was keep bringing them to me while he was talking with a speed of 1000 mile/minute.

It's done ! 

  

Do you remember the other two garland I made awhile ago ? click here and here

 I just blended them together 

It looks lovely on a wreath too ! 

  Happy felting ! :)

Ivy leaf garland

This garland can be made anytime it's the added detail what makes it different.Today a chose a red bird but it can be anything :) I can imagine this with mushroom or simply with gold bells around Christmas time. Wedding can be decorated, woodland birthday party, Baby shower with blue or pink ribbons on it .Ivy is available all year long and once you have it in your backyard you know you can't get rid of it .It is so simple to make it.I used a fishing string and needle to thread them .I fold the leaf in half so it wont tear easily .
