Cold Weather and Creativity

Yesterday I cleaned up in my "creative corner".

My mother's aunt got this desk probably around the 1930's from a family she was working for.

In my little creative corner I have trinkets, treasures, ribbons, scrapmaterial, inspiration, books, magazines, pearls, wool, thread, glue, paint, pretty papers, tools, scissors, pencils and a lot, lot more!

And when I get a moment by my desk, this might be the result.

A bit of decoupage,

cards

or some jewellry.

Today we went to pick up a dear friend at the airport and have lunch at our favorite Chinese restaurant. It has been a cold and windy day, but with the evening came the sun. I really hope we will enjoy real summer temperatures soon!

Jeans and necklace Forever 21, Cardigan Gina Tricot, Tank American Eagle, Earrings was a gift from mom and dad (one is  black and one blue and they are REAL pencils!) and the shoes are thrifted.

And I got this cute award from the lovely Silver Strands! Check out her inspiring and empowering blog!

Desperate Housewife

No, I am not desperate, at least not yet! ;) Today I'm having a day at home with the kids. I'm going to look for jobs, make a few calls and I should bake some bread. We'll see where the day takes me.

Cardigan, United Colors of Benetton. Tee, Freeze bought at Ross. Jeans, Forever 21. Slippers, Shepherd.

The cute pencil earrings were a gift from my parents.

These earrings and headband I bought this saturday. I like!

Here's the inside of my wardrobe door. The very colourful plastic bead necklaces are made by my daughter.

Oooh, I got this catalog in the mail from my favorite jewellery store. I really like the necklaces with the bird and angel. The other ones are cute too. They are made by Aagaard. Maybe I should make a wish for Mother's Day!
