Dreaming of a birthday party...

Imagine it's your birthday, and among the party guests are a cute shiny squirrel, a dinosaur and an elephant... these candle holders from Hank & Hunt can make this dream come true! The DIY post can be found on The Sweetest Occasion.

Summer projects

Beautiful beach bag by thimble, also the bike seat cover is very cool- in a fabric, that I love! I covered my kitchen table in this very practical oilcloth- but it's also extremely pretty, I think.
The pretty lace headband from The Red Kitchen would add a nice touch to any head of hair, I think.
And if you need a nice skirt for summer, you could try this breezy summer skirt by hippos & dinosaurs. Or this elastic waist skirt from Freshly picked. I also loved her ombre tutorial a lot- you could make a bag, or a skirt or napkins, or curtains...

Flower Alphabet

This is a beautiful Alphabet... made by artist Anna Garforth, first seen on Creature Comforts.

Sewing Project

Recently, all of my zippered pouches that I use for various things broke. But the internet is full of wonderful tutorials- these are some that I really like.
