The last supercraft kit arrived a while ago, but I only had a look at it today. This time its about felt and wool to do cool stuff for the kitchen. In addition, there is a little booklet for your seasonal recipes!
I am not sure yet what to create, but I wonder if I can use this piece of felt to make a mountain pillow that I have wanted to do for a long time!
My newest acquirement is „Yellow Owl’s Little Prints“ by Christine Schmidt. I love the design and all the products from Yellow Owl Workshop. They make greeting cards, stamp sets, ink pads (I use them all the time) and many more.
This new book presents little workshops for you and your kids. It’s organized in categories such as Celebrate, Play or Wear. At the end of the book there are many templates you can use if you are not the best drawer (like me). I look forward to start a project very soon, maybe to print a Sweater for my nephew or make adorable labels for the next birthday child.
This year starts pretty awesome! I had my third order! So I decided to start producing a lot of whales, that I am not always sold out. And it’s less time consuming than carving each whale separately.
I wish I had not already made an advent calendar. But there is always next year, right? I made my calendar, inspired from the autumn supercraft kit. Cute little black and white boxes, which I folded. Little did I know, that I would soon find the most awesome advent calendar ever on the DIY or DIE blog.
My nephew will almost be two next Christmas. I bet he’ll love it!
The grapes are ripe and the leaves turn yellow…
We did not want to drive around in the US like crazy. But that is exactly what we are doing right now. On one hand this country (we have only visited two states and yes they are two of the bigger states) is very large. In Switzerland we think twice if we have to drive for like 20 minutes. Here a 4h drive is normal. And I can see why this is the case now. I already new this, but you easily forget these things, when you live in tiny country.
Oregon has approximately the size of the United Kingdom or Ecuador. Especially in the Eastern part you have to drive far to see things. And now the situation gets even more complicated because the government closed down all national forests and parks, because of a political game. I might not understand what is going on here, but I don’t really get the point of all this. People who don’t get payed, parks closing down and then they get payed to check that nobody enters the parks…
Anyway we did not go to Crater Lake and headed directly to Bend. Here we spent two nights going to the Bend Film Festival, finding new coffee roasters and walking in the desert. Today we drove again for several hours (I don’t even dare to tell you how many) and visited the most exciting place of all times. But I won’t tell you until next time!
Tomorrow we are flying to Vancouver. We’ll travel around in the Pacific North West for about 7 weeks. Misty coasts, giant whales, wet rainforest, fluffy bears, delicious fish and chips and tasty coffee is what I expect. I’ll keep you up to date what we are doing!
Some time ago I made myself this zipper pouch to store all the little things in my handbag. It is made of coat fabric on the outside and a plastic fabric on the inside (usually used as tablecloth). But this protects your handbag if something goes wrong… Get it here.
The crab is made!
