I am a little bit obsessed with the bear making. I think it is addictive.
Some pictures I want to share.

We where married last week-end and we had a good time.
Rain and sunshine and everybody happy! :)

All this body parts lying around in my house, a little bit creapy,
I am curious to see the result! The head I will make bigger next time, but I love to work with this velvet material, I will post the finished one later.

painted cupboard

I have painted my dark blue cupboard into an other color.
It did not really match in the livingroom off the new house.
To dark.
The room is alreadt very dark and not so big and that is why I wanted to let the cupboard disappear a little bit into the colour off the wall.
I find it better.
I still have to finish.
The underneath colour (bright green) has to peep trough here and there.

a few pictures in the new house.

New arrival

Hello,
A new teddy cat has been born. I am very pleased with her.
She is a very young and cute cat and I love the way she looks.
I have made her a little ball to play with.

hello again!

Well at last, pfff, here I am back after a long struggle, Sorry but my mind was occupied elsewhere, trust me I have been busy.
Since a few weeks I have a new addiction and thats why I wanted to share this,
I make stuffed animals now.
It started buying a kit to make a bear and I liked it and I made a second one and one more and another...
Then I wanted to make my own design and here they are. Well, the bears became pussmans , of course :)
Will you help me finding some names??

home alone

Again I enjoyed being alone tonight(Tai chi for the husband)
And I don't know why, but making miniatures is a lot more fun and relaxing then.
So I began to make a dresser with a lot of drawers, Will finish it later.
I want a big one like this, to put all my crafting stuff in.
Anybody suggestions for the handles?
Maybe polymer clay that I give a silver coating.
All ideas are welcome:)

made by Emily

My daughter made her second stuffed animal this week. An elephant. I adore him, he is so cudly and cute. I would love to adopt him.
Maybe she will give it to me.

garden planning

How it is now(click here)
No miniatures or crafting this week-end, but working in the garden.
I have been planning also, this is what I came up with.
You can see how it is and how I want it to be.
It is very difficult to plan a garden where you don't live yet, but I have to begin somehow!Because now is the season and I want to move my plants also!

Little table

In all our stress I managed to make a little table this evening and I painted it and I finished the cabinet too, But the handles keep coming off!
What kind of glue should I use to attach aluminium to wood?
I lined the drawers and the bottom shelf with scrapbook paper and I think it has a cosier look that way!
I enjoyed making it and it relaxes me.
But my eyes are getting worse, I think I will buy a magnifiing lamp,(Help, how do you spell this?)
