Polish Star Pillow

Image
Almost don't dare to say it, but I made another pillow. I must, after seeing this beautiful pattern .    www.betweennapsontheporch.net   My only excuse is that I want to do a little make over in my bedroom, before we start renovating there next year. But, don't you love this pattern, too?!

As Good As New Spanish Lanterns

Image
At the moment we are renovating our living room and plans are to do the whole upstairs next year. While renovating the living room, all of our books were living upstairs, in our bedroom to be precise. Now that book shelves are finished one by one (because as you should understand a simple book shelve isn't good enough, it has to be done with a grinder, says my husband, so it takes quite some time), I can finally move the books out of our bedroom to the shelves. And because renovating the bedroom isn't happening anytime soon, I've started a mini make over. I painted the Spanish lanterns, to begin with.  Here's the before... ...and after.   www.betweennapsontheporch.net Yep, you see that right: I found another item to use the copper paint on! ~*~ My Gingerbread Cookies were featured by The Cottage Market this week!  Thanks, Andrea!

Folded Bunny Head

After making an origami sort of Tea Light Holder , I'm a bit into folding. And my daughter is a lot into rabbits and hares (which are all pretty much the same in her four year old eyes), so when I found this pattern I made one  for her.  www.betweennapsontheporch.net You can buy this pattern (and a very nice one of a fox, too) at Chloe Fleury's shop!

Star Garland

Image
I was thinking about some decoration for X-mas and thought about crocheting stars for a garland, but since I have about a dozen crocheted garlands already, I wanted something else. While preparing for baking gingerbread cookies I found the star shaped cookie cutter (that is never used as a cookie cutter, but for cutting polymer clay for tags that I use for presents). There came the idea: polymer clay stars garland!   www.betweennapsontheporch.net And one to embellish a vase.
