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. :-)

See what I did there in the last picture? My pink basket is presenting my new pencil cases ;-)

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:

Kitties

I made a whole bunch a kitties to pet :-) You can get them via my Etsy-shop. Miauw!

 

 

Old before and afters

I just LOVE 'before and afters'! In the past I have done a few, pictures aren't that good unfortunately... and here's the result:

 

Painted a flower pot for my mother in law, she really liked it, she put a plant in it right away :-) Got the idea yet again from makeit-loveit.com. 

Bought a white purse with the intention of pimping it. When I was going through all of my fabrics, I took the one with the most colors and ta-dah! 

Here I took one of my plain coasters and painted it. Nothing special, but it looks more fun now. Still have to paint the other ones.

Took a big pot, painted it white first because washi tape is a little see trough. When the paint is dry you can stick on the washi tape. The yellow-blue one was my first. I made some more:

And my last old 'before and after' are some clothes hangers that I pimped with washi tape and markers. They were a present for my sister in law. They've been repinned a lot of times on my Pinterest :-)
