I hope spring will be here soon!


I really do! Now it is snowing like crazy and even though I'm born in January, I really don't like snow. Spring is my favourite time of year and I can't wait for it! :) Especially for the longer and warmer days! I'm freezing right now! Ok, I'll stop whining... 

Oh, I cannot forget about the flowers :) I like them very much :) And because there aren't any flowers outside, I made a little piece of spring for the house :) 

First, cut and paint small flowers :) I like blue, so blue was my pick, but you can make purple, red, yellow, violet or anything you want :D



With pins, colourful or normal silver, start in the middle and work your way up :)




And that's it :) It looks great on a candlestick or you can leave it like so :)

Movie Thursdays: Aladdin





Aladdin, a street urchin, accidentally meets Princess Jasmine, who is in the city undercover. They love each other, but she can only marry a prince.





My favorite Disney movie!
Now who hadn't watch Aladdin?! It's one of the best Disney movies and I think everybody should watch it :) 
And don't think you are too old for this, I don't think you can get too old for this :)

Lovely button rings!



And here it is! The DIY project containing my beautiful buttons from Lots Of Buttons!

As you all know, I won a voucher on a contest on Cut out and Keep for this wonderful site.

I picked 20 different buttons for one reason. I won with button rings, but now I want more of them! So ... I made rings out of buttons! And I think I've picked well :)

Let’s see how I made them!

Here I used: 
- buttons Erlinda, JanieRikki, Mazie, Layne, Elza, MilagroBethany and Misty
- silver ring base
- pliers
- sand paper
- super glue

First, I cut the back of the button, and if that was needed, sanded it a bit.



Figure out how you want the ring pattern to be. After that I added some super glue (E6000 would be the best) on the ring base, which I bought in a local craft store, and glued these two together.






And that's it! It cannot get any simpler. I hope you like it as much as I do! I'm really in love with them.

And every Monday I'll be posting one ring at the time, so you'll get a closer look at them :)

Movie Thursdays: The Perks of being a Wallflower


An introvert freshman is taken under the wings of two seniors who welcome him to the real world.




You probably know the novel by Stephen Chbosky? Well I must confess, I haven't read the book, but I'm sure I will one day! 

The movie shows ups and downs of a young man growing up. Love, loss, fear and hope are the main themes in this drama. But the main question is how important is to have friends.

Definitely a must-see for all!

Small Peek...

Say hello to my little Piggy!


Yes, he lost his ear a looong time ago. I don't even know when I got him or how... He just was there :D

Movie Thursday: Into the Wild




After graduating from Emory University, top student and athlete Christopher McCandless abandons his possessions, gives his entire $24,000 savings account to charity and hitchhikes to Alaska to live in the wilderness. Along the way, Christopher encounters a series of characters that shape his life.



Free of society? Now that's a bit crazy? Or is it? 
It's a good question to discuss. 
I really recommend it to all of you, because you might think about everything a bit different. 
And I'm sure the last quote will trigger thoughts

Tea boxes!




I've bough these very cute wooden boxes for 2€ and I've simply decorated it with some napkins both on the inside as on the outside :)




And yes...that locker is broken..that's what you get for 2€...oh well at least you can still store tea :)
