Getting Ready for Easter

I try to hang seasonal wreaths on our door, but since we don't have anything other than a Christmas wreath, we always have to make the wreaths for the specific season. And....well...let's just say, that doesn't always happen.

Today I bought 65m/71yards of ribbon, and Ask and I cut it into pieces and tied it to a metal ring.

Then I glued the little chickens onto it with some very strong and smelling glue. My fingers got stuck to the container, the ribbon, the chickens, the table....evrything I touched. Now I am wondering, when I will ever get the rest of the dry glue off my fingers again.. 

Anyway, we are quite pleased with our new Easter wreath. I doubt we'll be able to save it - after it has been out in all kinds of weather! But it's cute for now :)

I bought (!) a quilt...

I saw this quilt at a store for app USD 50. I would not be able to buy the materials needed for that amount of money. So I bought one. I have wanted a solid color quilt for my bed for a while, so now I have one

So...the bed is made, and it looks a lot calmer than the patchwork quilts I usually use. I'll want one of those back in a couple of weeks, but it's nice to be able to alternate :)

I have also decided, that Easter is close enough for decorations to come out 

I also need a new wreath for the front door......must put the kids to work!

BeeFF for Tia

I finally finished my BeeFF blocks for Tia!! Tias month was February, so I am still behind :/
This is the first block

This is machine sewn. I am just not patient enough to hand sew!

The other block is hand sewn, and so took me almost 2 months to finish :/

I am still fiddling with the Christmas ornaments, I have some ideas. That'll be the next post...

The kids and I have been visiting my parents all week, we'll be going back to Copenhagen today. We have visited the artmuseum, aRos.

I really want to see the installation on the roof "Your Rainbow Panorama" by Olafur Eliasson, but it doesn't open untiln the end of May.

So....we'll just have to come back soon :)

We also found time to visit a fabric store - obviously!

Thank you Anne!!!

My friend Anne is sooooo generous! Look at these beautiful Easter baskets she sent for my children!! Needless to say, Viola and Ask were excited! A blue one for Ask and a pink one for Viola :)
Stuffed full of goodies, candy, a moomin scarf for each of them and felted eggs! They were running around ecstatically. LOL.

I have been so busy lately, that I have had a really hard time making Easter special for the kids...but Anne really saved the day! Here are their baskets all the goodies and the moomin scarves.
And Anne had packed some treats for me as well! Look at these stunning fabrics. The pirates will be perfect for the pirate quilt I hvae planned for Ask, and the birds..........ooooooh the birds!
That is such a stunning print, I can't even begin to tell you how much I adore it.

And last -but not least- there was this really really sweet figurine in the package too..
She is such a treasure!

I love everything, Thank you so much Anne!! You are truly amazing :)
