Craft room corner

Here are some more pictures from my craft room. I felt that I needed to take some pictures when the sun was shining. It has been so dark and rainy the last days. So I took the opportunity to take some photos without the horrible flash!

The House Of Horror?

In the back of my trunk I had the dollhouse that I got when I was a little girl. Now I wanted to give it to my little girl. I’ve been at my parents house to get it. I was so happy when I drove home, thinking of how happy and thrilled my daughter would be when she saw what I was bringing home. When I showed it to her she wasn’t jumping up and down that I thought she would… She looked at it with scepticism. I got a bad feeling and quickly said that it needed to be cleaned and that I’ll be looking for the little dolls and furniture that should be inside. She said: ”Yes it’s so dirty and UGLY!”



I loved my dollhouse when I was a child in the ’70s, I thought the house looked stunning with wallpapers of brown and orange. Unfortunately my daughter has enter the pink period of her life…



Anyway...



I prepared a space for the dollhouse in her room and I thought that she just had to get used to it. Later that night when we put her to bed and I thought that she was sleeping, she shouted: ”Mum! I think the dollhouse is so ugly, I don’t want it. Can you please remove it from my room?!”



To be continued…

Butterflies

A while ago I saw this brilliant idea over at Chez Larsson’s blog. I thought it was so lovely and I wanted one for my self. I bought the punch at Papprika Scrapbook. I used various of scrap booking paper for the butterflies. I put adhesive pads on the back of the butterflies to give the hole thing a little height and depth. A 3D feeling so to say. The deep edge frame (RIBBA) I bought at IKEA.

My grandparents always had a bowl of candy in their living room. I couldn’t understand why they didn’t eat all the candy at once! I remember that I used to stare at that glass bowl; you were only allowed one little candy. I tried to keep it in my mouth for as long that I could. I must confess that it happened that I used to spy if the room was empty and sneak in and took a bit of candy… Always with a guilty conscience afterwards…

I love the autumn!

Autumn is my favourite season!
