Dreamcatcher

Around this time of year or at least when the first snow falls, I become a crazy craftswoman. I start creating things although mother nature gave me two, not very skilful hands. Last year I made these and these purses. I promised myself I would definitely make some more (they made a great Christmas present) but it wouldn't be me if I didn't find another thing to do and forgot all about it.  This time it was flu that forced me to stay in bed. So I had to do something with all this time on my hands. Inspired by pinterest of course, I made my first dreamcatcher which I always wanted to have...and then I made four more. They are supposed to filter your dreams, the bad ones stay in the net and only the good ones are allowed to pass through. Well, since I have five of those now I hope not a single nightmare will ever haunt me again :)

What's for dinner - Butternut Squash Cream Soup

After our recent pumpkin hunt, all we have been eating is pumpkin. We love it but we're also glad pumpkins are available only for a while. It's just like with strawberries, having them only in the summertime, makes me yearn for them even more when they're gone. And then I eat nothing but strawberries, all day long. 

So, here is another version of our favourite pumpkin soup. This time with rosemary. It was really tasty...and gone within 10 minutes.

Little Helper

A few days ago I got to babysit my friend's super cute girl miss Ewa. I was more than sure that after a short while she'd be really bored but apparently we had so much fun I really didn't want her to go home. I had no idea how exciting it can be to cook with a kid. She's one clever cutie-pie this one, she made cupcakes from scratch with just a tiny bit of my help. While waiting for them to bake we made some autumn crafts, we drew, painted, glued and played games. Spending time with kids really makes all your worries go away.

Oh! and while playing one of the games, Ewa got tired of the standard rules and decided to come up with her own. After thoroughly explaning them to me (amazing how a 3,5 year old mind works, I couldn't be more creative) she said "ok, so I'm first" I asked her why and she replied "Cause I'm better at this and I have a piano at home"! Well, I don't know about you but it's hard to argue with that.
