Housekeeping

I'm trying, yet again, to put my craft supplies into some sort of order

In the absence of a proper craft room I have them all over the place

And half of them I don't remember I have

I also need a system to sort the many photos that cram my computer

I did join bloglovin so my reading list is taken care of

If you can spend a perfectly useless afternoon 

in a perfectly useless manner

you have learned how to live 

The best portion of a good man's life - 

his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness 

- William Wordsworth

Keep Calm and Carry On

my favorite:

and another that I like:

now and then it is good to pause in the pursuit of happiness

and just be happy

Things We Made Yesterday

Another fun afternoon

Michal outdid herself with 

two pairs of snails falling in love under a cloudy sky

True Blue

Dana's world is in an uproar

ever since an irresponsible adult told her that Gargamel was not evil at all

one of the good guys, in fact

Now she has to watch a LOT for Smurfs just to make sure

But a big blue smurf is not the only thing on her bed

There is also a sausage-y pillow that I made

Hot Hot Pink

I made a new blanket and pillow set for a doll

This one in the bright hot colors of summer

I enlisted the help of an elephant and a tiger to pose for the shots

but when they saw the hot pink car assigned to them

they couldn't resist trying to make a getaway

You can't find good help these days

The Magic of Makeover

Michal had this rather busy bulletin board in her room

and what she basically wanted was a blank canvas

well, I went as blank as I could

I stretched a piece of fabric over the board

and painted the frame a matching color

I crocheted a few flowers to give some color

and pinned them so that Michal could move them at will

Where I went a little crazy was with the tacks

I covered each one with a piece of washi tape

the tapes are a bit translucent and they came out beautiful

but took a LONG time to make

Happy Birthday Yonathan

There were a lot of us gathered to celebrate

so we had to add a little table at the end

I turned that into a kiddie table

I spread a white paper table cloth

drew a little something on it to get the ball rolling

and left the paints on the table for the kids to draw

when they lost interest in the food

Cannes - The Nicest Little Corner

 I found this little corner during one of my morning walks

Hiding in a very busy corner of town

And being very serene
