More creative ideas for children (and adult children;-)
Cinnamon buns
The autumn weather always comes in November. And that’s the perfect time to start thinking about comfort food which – in my home – means cinnamon buns among other things. And we don’t spare on the butter-cinnamon filling.
Fire breathing dragon
Probably every household has a never ending supply of toilet paper rolls and so there aren’t enough projects to recycle them. I would like to show you how to do this little fire breathing dragon project with your children.
Showing off my Clover Bag :)
After I’ve made several handbags ranging from envelopes to a really big bag that can carry all the things I need for my kids, I wanted to try something less usual.
Pin birthday calendar
It took me a long time to publish this project but I think it’s worth the wait! I wanted to create a funny way for my kids to see whose birthday was coming up next.
Picture with plastic outlines
Easy and fun way to have your kids entertained for a while, especially when you want to teach them to color while staying within the outlines of the picture.
Homemade Gummy Bears
If you have kindergarten children, autumn might be the season of cough and runny nose in your house. We fight the cold by doping ourselves with our own fruit in summer and continue with it in September as much as we can. Once we run out of our own fruit, we get oranges and …
Hot glue bowl
When I was little, almost all the girls had such a plastic basket (today it’s already one of those vintage toys) that was hard to destroy and we all just loved it. I remembered the basket when I was making this bowl because the plastic it was made of was exactly as flexible as the …
Spanish Pisto Recipe
One of my favorite dishes ever, a summer hit from seasonal ingredients
Chocolate box
What is better than a box with chocolate pralines? I say, a chocolate box with chocolate pralines!
Toilet cleaning bombs
If there’s a housework I really dislike, it’s the bathroom cleaning. I don’t like it especially because of all the vapors from the bleach and other cleaning substances. I try to substitute them with homemade detergents such as these toilet bombs.
Chocolate pralines
Chocolate pralines are a great gift and even more so if you make them yourself!
Oil mixture for hair and skin
We are spending the summer break in the south where the tap water has been replaced by lava and a five minute walk to the store feels like a whole-day-march in a dessert. The seaside is much better, however, the weather has an effect on the skin and the hair and that is why I …
Pallet planter
Here’s the new addition to our terrace garden – the pallet planter! Between the household, the family and the rest of the field I never had enough time to take care of our strawberries which needed especially constant weeds removing. And so we decided to move the strawberries to a planter with a substrate in …
Homemade Degreaser
As I already said, I really don’t like all the vapors and chemicals in the usual detergents, bleach etc. I try to make most of the cleaners we use and this time I would like to show you how to make an ecological and skin-friendly grease remover. I use it especially to clean the kitchen.
The Science Behind Foams
Foams are a great culinary invention. They can be traditional as well as modern, they can be decorative and at the same time taste well. You can be really creative with the color, density, texture and airiness of the foam. There are quite a few foaming agents and tools that you can use to make …
Lavender face water / makeup remover
It was clear after today’s walk in the garden that the season of lavender cosmetics has started for me. And the first will be the face water that you can use as a makeup remover as well as caring face water because of the oils it contains.
Miniature armchair
Do you have a dollhouse at home? We do and sometimes I think it should be rather mine than the girls’. I enjoy making miniatures and one day I would like to make my for Victorian dollhouse. For now I practice making simple furniture, today’s tutorial is to one of such simple pieces, the miniature …
Cherry Blossom Lamp
The cherry trees are already out of bloom but here’s a way to have a blooming cherry branch all year round. I will show you how to make this lamp which also happens to be a great decoration day and night.
Daisy-chamomile face moisturizer
This year’s Mother’s Day gift was an easy decision. There are beautiful blooming herbs everywhere and I decided to use the daisies to make a moisturizing cream for my mom.
