Phyt plant

My friend Sofie got me a Phyt plant kit for my birthday. 2 months later (for shame it took me so long) I finally took the time to put it together. It was actually very easy because it had a little manual. 


 


Took me about 10 minutes to make. This is the result :-)



I now have the coolest corner in the world :-p

For those who want to buy a Phyt plant themselves, here is a link:

Bunny teddy

A week ago a colleague of mine gave me some fabric scraps.
Ideal for me to make a scrap bunny.


So yesterday I made this little ðŸ’™cutie💙:


It's available via my Etsy-shop, get this cutie here or click the last bunny picture.

Worry Eating Plush Pal

A few weeks ago I bumped into this site about helping children in need. Especially on how they don't always have the chance or courage to share their secrets or worries with someone. The site asks its visitors to make a teddy bear with a zipper for a mouth, allowing kids to stow away their thoughts. So whenever a child wants to share something he or she can write it down on a piece of paper and ask the plush pall to take care of it.

I thought it was a great idea, so I made one myself and it turned out pretty good. I'm going to give the plush pall to a colleague whose granddaughter recently lost her father to cancer.


This is the one I made:




I really hope it will help the child that gets this plush pall. It hurts me to know that there are so many children with problems. With projects like these we can help them to briefly forget their worries.

Casserole flower pot

Couldn't find a flower pot that I really like so instead I used a retro casserole that had been collecting dust in the cupboard. I think it goes very well together with our yellow closet. The colors really match :-)



In case you feel like doing the same, I put a plastic bag on the bottom of the casserole to make sure it doesn't rust. Nobody wants a rusty stain on their closet. (Not sure if it's actually gonna work, I sure hope so)

Chocolate croissants

Last time I went to the grocery store I bought puff pastry because I come across a lot of recipes using it, especially on Facebook pages like Tasty, Tasty Vegetarian or Bosh. Having bought the puff pastry, I decided to try out this one, and I gotta say: it was super easy. 

So here we go: roll open the puff pastry and cut it in triangles. Put some pieces of chocolate on top and roll up the triangles. Cover the croissants with egg yolk and put them in the oven for about 25 minutes on 190 °C. It's that simple.

Here's how they came out:

They were really yummy, just a little dry. So next time i'll smear some butter on the pastry before rolling it up. :-)

Pink basket

I've had this basket for years and never really did something with it. It stood in the basement for quite some time. So I gave it a new life and sprayed it pink with a Montana spray can. It looks so much better now. The plan is to use it when selling my DIY stuff on a market. So I can present some pouches in it.






The pouches look irresistible in the basket ;-)
PS: Interested in buying one of my pouches, you can get them at my Etsy-shop. Just click the picture.

Football cup

My boyfriend won this cup for a fifth place at a football tournament when he was 15 (awww, cute ☺💛💙💚). Because the cup itself wasn't that good looking, he gave me the green light to pimp it a little bit. So I took my Montana spray cans and made it into an art piece :-p







Arcopal salad bowl

This weekend I went to a flea market. I love wandering around at flea markets! Sooo much stuff for little prices. And guess what, I found an old Arcopal bowl! I already have some teacups, little plates and soup plates from that brand. And now I can add a salad bowl, check it out:
