Happy Spring Cleaning

~*~ Happy Spring Cleaning ~*~

I so prefer cleaning

in short short bursts

throughout the day

instead of all at once.

What about all you lovely ladies?

Are you into Spring Cleaning already?

First week of Spring

This week I received

Miss Baptista's sweet Giveaway,

these 2 lovely hearts.

Miss Baptista

has a wonderful

collection of

Christening gowns

in her own Belgian studio.

I also received the beautiful Giveaway from

Paulette of Beedeebabee.

This cutest little white bunny

was wrapped so so beautiful.

The silver bird's nest

with the gorgeous colored eggs

was on top of the present.

Spools everywhere

Love all

all these great spools

gathered

on the floor!

My hands were itching ...

Sparkling Strings

Last weekend we visited

an event

in a furniture store.

At the entrance

two big beautiful vases welcomed us.

So simple and sweet:

The finest ribbons

decorated

the leafless branches.

It made me think of

our tree

in the middle of our lawn.

Last year I knotted

lamina paper

hope this is the right word ..

in all shades of blue

in the tree.

When the wind blowed

or the sun rays

touched the

strings,

they sparkled

Too bad I did not take pictures that time

this year it's a little too late because the buds are almost bursting out!

Spring pops up everywhere around here!

Yahooooo

Creative with Cardboard

We've been creative

with cardboard and

brown & red wrapping paper.

It started with the tractor for Bresten's room.

He loves loves loves tractors.

We just couldn't find any nice pictures

to hang on the wall.

And so we decided to give it a try.....

Drawing, cutting, cutting

and finally we used

some duplex tape to stick it on the wall.

Looking quite good on the white wall

and most important

Bresten adores it!

For the girls we made the princess

using cardboard, brown wrapping paper

ribbon and some sparkling* sparkles*

~*~ Have a Sparkling Spring begin this weekend ~*~

Colorful & Cozy

Hope all you lovely lovely ladies

are having a Colorful and Cozy day!

I know for sure Quinten has

Bright light

The pursuit of perfection,

then,

is the pursuit of

sweetness and light.

~*~ Matthew Arnold ~*~

Today some images

around the house

from my favorite lamp.

I just love

the unadorned wooden stand

in combination with the

simple black lamp-shade.

The lamps in the first mosaic

hang in the girls room

and in the boys room.

Have a bright & beautiful brand new day!

EasSteTerWart

This afternoon we did some DIY

making those lovely

flower arrangements in eggshells.

We turned some

hollowed-out eggshells

into naturally vases.

Thank you

Martha Stewart

for your lovely idea.

We had a real

good time.

It was FUN!
