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?

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 ~*~

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!

Thank you

good time.
It was FUN!
