The Happy Snowman

It's been snowing for a couple of days, and I gone for a walk with my son and my little daughter to the post office to post some of my orders. The kids enjoyed the walk, and when we got back I was asking them if they want to build a snowman. We was looking for something for the nose and the eyes. I found an old red kinder toy for the nose in front of the garage and a couple of stones for the eyes. The kids put them on the snowman's face. But I thought something is missing. I broke off a dry twig from the tree for his mouth.

The kids loved the sweet face on the snowman, and I wanted to show you too.

Hope make you smile a little bit :)

My new Cristmas line jewellery.

I am so busy designing and making my new Christmas line jewellery. I have too many idea, but not enough time in a day. It's midnight again, and I am so tired. But I like to show you what I made so far.

You can find some of them already listed in my Etsy shop.

Here they are...

I used Swarovski Vitrail crystals, Tibetan silver and silver components with a hint of organza ribbon for a bookmark.

I love the Bookmark, because could be a lovely present for someone who loves reading. And is such an unusual idea to get bookmark as a present. With a sweet Angel wing charm, perfect for the Bible!

Falling stars at Christmas -Earrings

Silver wire wrapped with Tibetan Gold
metal stars on Silver French earhooks.

And my

PETALS Brooch

I made from Organza and Freshwater

Pearl with silver wire stamen.

Nothing better than cooking with the kids :)

Yesterday we made a White chocolate button mini cakes. That was so much fun, we will make one again today, but this time we making a Princess mini cakes.
While Edward was holding the bowl, Gigi was stirring the mixture.

After the kids decorated the cakes.

Yummy :p

My son and the Origami stars.

Since my son Edward learned how he can make the Origami Peace Crane. He made lots of them. I use to buy lots of origami paper for him.

But today I had an idea, to use an old newspaper. We was searching all morning on the internet how he can make an Origami Star. We learned it and it was so nice to spend some time together. While my little daughter was cutting some old paper up too. She love cutting things :)

I was asking Edward what we should do with all this stars. And he had an idea to make a mobile out of it and sell them on Etsy! You see the apple doesn't fall far from the tree :)


Here is a photo from the good ones we made!
