I like to organize. I like DIY projects. I like doing crafts with my children. I like Ikea. So really, what is not to like in this particular project? 😉 Do you know the term “Ikea hacks”? If yes, you know that that is what I did here and if not, a Google or Pinterest […]
Why it is worthwhile to be creative
Because of a stupid and not very encouraging comment from my third grade art teacher, I put off most artistic activities for close to two decades. It was probably not meant as I understood it and anyway, I should definitely not had taken it so personally and let it influence me that much. In the […]
Getting Organized with a Lego DIY
It is like a never ending story. Trying to get organized, that is. I start somewhere, get it done, and after a while it is again a big mess! I have this dream of a clean, well-organized home, but I guess that that will just never happen. And probably I wouldn’t like it, if it […]
DIY Felt Penguin (with template and tutorial)
A few days ago my youngest came to me and asked if we could sew something together. He was specific like he always is. A felt Penguin. And so a felt penguin it was. My son is very visual and very precise. He is very into crafts at the moment; drawing, painting, beads and sewing […]
DIY Fabric Printing with Fruits or Things to do with the Kids
I apologize in advance that I am going to rant for a bit. Summer holiday was 2 months long. It was fine and even fun. Then they went back to school for a week and a half and again holidays. On and off for a month almost of which we are now in the very […]

How Old Chairs became New(er)
It is called old, used, second-hand or, when it has to sound a bit fancier, vintage. These are all things that someone doesn’t want while another choose to give it a second life. Once I wasn’t into old things at all. The newer the better was how I liked it. In recent years, though, I […]
Chimichurri
On our journey towards preparing more of what we eat ourselves, this time I want to share this recipe with you. Dear Husband has been in the kitchen and made this great Chimichurri. He is really good at that, trying out new things and as (almost) always it turned out great! It was originally for […]
DIY String Bag for (Summer) Kids
It is summer. It is summer holiday. School is out and summer camp is in. They still leave the house in the morning and return after noon at the same time as they did for school, but there is a big difference. For me. No packing of school bags in the mornings and even more […]
Homemade Mayonnaise
I really don’t like complicated things when it comes to cooking. The simpler the better is my cooking motto 😉 For years my idea of baking would be a “mix-it all-in- bowl” kind of cake and it took me a long time to build up the courage to bake something as complicated as cookies! I […]
