Food, glorious food....

Two days ago my B didn't feel well and slept not too much during the night. I wanted to surprise him with a unique breakfast to make his mood a bit better. I woke up quite early so went to the supermarket and got goods. This is a recipe we tried years ago but somehow it was obvious for me to make it.... I bought two pieces of bread so we ate the second one this morning....
He was happy to get it so the idea turned out very well....
Just put anything you like between the slices and put the whole thing in the oven for some minutes.... We ate it with fresh vegetables like spring onion (there was some in the sandwich too), cherry tomatoes (also in and out), pepper and cucumber.
It was a very good spring breakfast!

Happy Easter!

We got the Easter ham from Mum yesterday and also the eggs boiled in the ham's water.... Yumm, they are wonderful with smoky taste..... I hope your Easter is Hoppy, too!

Spring is here at the door

Last week I let spring in.... We still had the winter wreath with snowman and penguin, but last weekend I finally finished the new one.
My favourite fruit is strawberry so I decided to use strawberries for the wreath. I found some nice ones in Tilda's books. (I love it as some of you know) It was not easy to get a pre-made wreath this spring what made me surprised. Finally I got this very simple brown one which was too small for the spring angel I made. Then I decided to make the swing to the girl so now she is swinging happily.
And some things about the girl: she is also a Tilda pattern but I made her a lot smaller. Her trousers are made from green fabric I got as a present from Maple (a patchwork friend of mine), the jumper is also made of a present fabric (got from my mum's colleague). The cherry one is a Luxembourgian fabric as I call it. I visited a patchwork shop with a kind Lulu patchwork lady who I met through the net and later there personally. The kind owner gave me that fabric because I was a customer from 'so far away'. This fabric was waiting for the perfect project to be used, and I think this is very good because I can see it every spring. This angel is mostly a collection of nice memories for me.
I hope you like the wreath as well. Happy spring!

Still living

Hello again, sorry for the long break....

I was busy during the break, so I am sure I'll show you some things. We had the last snow a week ago and yay, now it is spring, so time to start to feel the 'spring spirit'. Today we got rid of some old clothes and other stuff. Last week we sad goodbye to the christmas tree and other decoration, now I am busy with making the new one.

Plus spring means the beginning of 'theatre term' for me, I am also working on accessories for the plays.
Unfortunately it is too dark now to take photos, so you have to wait a bit more for them.

But: HAPPY SPRING!

Carnival

So we had a carnival in school. Last year i made a huge mistake - I didn't have a costume. My class was a bit disappointed and I didn't want to make them upset this year. But I had not too much time (and not a single idea).... for weeks. Then I had a small talk with a little girl. We talked about old nursery signs of our childhoods and the idea came: MUSHROOM.
So I decided to make this 'half an hour mushroom costume'. I had an orange sun-hat which I covered with a piece of red fabric and some white spots on. I asked my B for his white T-shirt and I wore my brown trousers (mushroom on the ground:D ).
That was it. My students loved it and me too. I hope you will like it as well.

Ball of 2010

On Saturday we had the usual school ball of the parents and teachers. I had some problems with clothing (as usual). I have only one beautiful dress to wear (and I was in that last year) so I tried to change things a bit. At least the accessories. So I made a necklace and earrings from the fabric I had to cut down (the skirt was too long) and I finished the bag (I started it last year but because of the flag - if you remember I had to postpone the plans). I also made something (a huuuuuuuge scarf to wear), thanks for the idea, Kicsoda!

Snow, snow, snow...

I still love winter. And snow. I am happy every day when I see things like this.
Enjoy!
