After a heavy rainfall that lasted a few days during the end of last week, this weekend offered nice weather for the children to play outside. I myself have done a little bit of sewing - I made Ronja a summer ...

Wild Nature Top

   I made this top for Ronja during the weekend. It doesn't go with the pants she's wearing, so you'll have to insert imagination here. But it looks like an easy project, right? Well, I can tell you, that I have never ...

Yesterday, we all went to Fastelavn - you know, the thing I told you about the other day. And Ronja was indeed an angel - here she is on the wings.      Saturday I had been making an outfit for Frida as ...

Oldie but goodie

This weekend I did some sewing. I bought a delicious Hilco velvet a few weeks ago at Dots N Stripes - who are having a sale at the moment. There's still a few months of winter left in Denmark, so it's not ...
