Fastelavnstreats

Fastelavnskostume til baby

Here in Denmark, there is a carnival called "Fastelavn", it's lots of fun and all the children wear costumes on that occasion.

For my little baby I took the idea of thredbanger's last video: Monster hoodie project

and applied it to a handmade cape according to the following instructions from a doll artist named runo

Cape instructions

the measurements are for a 80 cm tall baby

Rawrrr!

My Babybag

Coming back to work but feeling like I still had to carry tons of things for baby... I needed a huge bag like the Elodie bag I used during my maternity leave but at the same time, it had to look a bit pro and not to mama like... so I copied the pattern of the Elodie detail bag on a black fabric:

as I didn't know how the bag was originally sewed together, I just sewed the ends at the shoulder and covered it with a white and black piece of fabric

Now the nice thing about this bag, is that my purse (a furla) fits very nicely, without drowning in the bag

A little pocket is handy to keep a little bottle of milk to soothe a tired baby when I have to pick him up from the daycare....

And worn, it looks like this

moreover it hangs on nicely to our umbrella stroller and as the bag and it's weight hang quite low, it doesn't imbalance the stroller

Doorhandle Protector no 2

Back to work, back to the dangerous world of bactery-sharing and having lost my old doorhandleprotector :-(

I made a new one enhanced with a closing feature: a button and an elastic to keep the bacterias trapped

Happy New Year - Bonne Année 2010 - Godt Nytår !

This is a very nice Christmas present we received from the person who takes care of our son: a little piece of art with his hand print.
Thank you very much!

God Jul - Merry Christmas - Joyeux Noel

Julefest

This year we decided to organise our own little "julefest" a christmas party to gather friends and family. Besides baking biscuits, biscuits and biscuits...I used two decoration ideas from the Marie Claire Idees of December


The "Papillottes"




And the candle light deco touch

Swap 7 merveilles

Ma swappée Coquelicot a bien reçu mon colis

Voilà ce qu'il contenait dans le détail:

La carte



Le sac, à partir d'un modèle du livre "Bend the rules sewing" d'Amy Karol



et sa pochette


Dans laquelle il y avait un vernis à ongle argenté


Et comme j'ai cru comprendre qu'elle n'était pas trop maquillage, j'ai opté pour un petit accessoire pratique: une écharpe avec son petit détail argenté

Le modèle pour l'écharpe vient de ce livre: "Last-Minute knitted gifts" de Joelle Hoverson


La déco: une poupée tilda avec des cheveux argentés, je trouve que cela fait très nordique :-)


La gourmandise: du marcipain, quelque chose qui se consomme beaucoup ici


Et pour la lecture, un magazine danois
Bolig = Maison
Jul = Noël

Je n'ai malheureusement pas pu en trouver un en anglais que je trouvais approprié pour le thème de ce swap.


Et enfin, une mini peluche pour la petite de Coquelicot, un truc tout chou que j'ai trouvé chez un fleuriste! Très diversifié comme commerce...


Ah j'oubliais le bijou: un bracelet qui se vend ici pour collecter des fonds pour la prévention du cancer du sein, j'ai malheureusement oublié d'en faire une photo.

J'espère que le tout lui a plu, j'ai eu en tout cas beaucoup de plaisir à réaliser ce swap car la combinaison noir/argent m'a beaucoup inspirée...

Wall Sticker - Baby's room

A friend of mine lives in a very small flat and has a little bundle of joy of about 9 months, it was decided that it was time for her to sleep in her own "room" but they have no extra room for her so she very cleverly managed to decorate a "hall/corridor/corner" with a super nice wallpaper, fairy tale stickers and added a curtain to be able to close this little space. I was very impressed by her craft skills and unfortunately I just can't manage with wallpaper! But the new trend anyway nowadays is to use wall stickers, but as they are quite expensive, I decided to try to make my own with the help of Threadbanger's tutorial on wall decals and the inspiration of this online shop:the wall company

Bought some contact paper on e-bay (no idea where I could buy this in DK), drew my shapes directly on it


And paste it on the wall next to baby's bed

Kurt baby doll

In a Panduro shop in Copenhagen, I saw this very nice craft idea, took a pic and tried to reproduce it at home. My son loves it, especially because it's sooo big compared to him :-)

Here is the original

I cut twice the following parts in different fabrics: the body - the arms - the legs - and the head

Adorned the body with scraps, added some eyes and a smile to the face and glued 8 cm long wool threads on the top of the head

After sewing the legs and the arms right sides together leaving an opening to turn them inside out and filled them with stuffing material, I placed the parts on the body facing up and covered it with the back of the body facing down. Pinned it and sewed leaving the top of the body open to turn it inside out.

Sewed the head, turned it inside out, stuffed it and then attached it to the body with hand stitches
