First diy toy for our baby

This past weekend we made our baby her very own plushie toy. It's a bit large but it's meant to keep her company while she's asleep in the crib, taking up most of the space I guess. I hope the baby won't mind. So, I started by going to Ikea to get the cheapest pillow (for its filling) and a cosy, white blanket. 

I used this tutorial, followed it carefully but managed to mess things up anyway (the belly piece fell under the table and was completely forgotten) so our lady whale now has only one fin, but I think it only makes her special. 

the forgotten piece

Kamil prepared and printed out all the pieces, otherwise I'd have to draw them myself and god knows what creature that would have made. 

 

Apart from all the crafting going on we also started collecting some baby clothes. Since I'm not feeling a hundred percent I thought there is no point waiting until the very end to get all the stuff. It's also super exciting to pick all these tiny outfits, little socks and hats. Let's be honest...I just couldn't resist and my feeling a bit worse was just a perfect excuse :)

And the most exciting event that's happening this friday iiiis....Roxy's wedding. We are really looking forward to it. These paper flowers are just a little sneek peek of what's going to be one of the prettiest weddings I've been to. More pictures to come. 

And speaking of previews, here's one of our flat. The makover is slowly coming to an end. There are some final touches left but hopefully, within the next few days, we'll finally have a new flat. Yay!

 Have a fabulous day!

Little toilet makeover

We live in a flat designed and done by my mother in law. She has a real flair for such things. Although we love this flat we really need to freshen up one or two things here. Toilet being the smallest space became our first project. We decided to do it on our own, without any help and I must tell you as much fun as it was, having a construction site in your house for over 3 months can be really annoying. I'm sure a professional would have done it within a week and we struggled for so long. However, we couldn't be more proud that we made it and it doesn't look that bad afterall. 

I don't have a proper before picture. I tore down the wallpaper in a frenzy and forgot all about that. Here are just a couple of pics I made some time ago to show you bits and pieces from our house. The whole loo was covered in wood and oldfashioned wallpaper with a "window" at the back. 

     

And after

I am particularly proud of my project 'sink'. I didn't want a regular sink so I searched and searched and found the perfect vessel, made from my mom's old clay mixing bowl.
