Cute Fluffies

Already posted most of these pictures on my other blog, but I just had to also post it on this one! Sorry!

I'm just a bit smitten by these cute fluffies, so I'll post some pics here too!!

Lovely Surprise ~Adorable Cuties

Today I went to feed the ducks, and got a lovely surprise!

There was a family of swans swimming around! (click to see bigger pictures, it's lovely!!)

Oh how lucky I was that I had my camera with me!

They came so close! Do you see the grass of the bank I'm standing on?
These ones are pretty up close:

It was such a lovely site! I have never seen such a big swan family from so close!!

What pretty creatures.

Lovely Little Things

We've had very strange weather lately.

At first it was raining and cold (16° Celsius), then the tempature spiked up to 30° only in one day, and the day after we had a weather alarm! We had a thunderstorm last night and today it's windy and grey again with 16°!  Brrrr.

But when I opened my curtains today, I had to smile. My little trees are in bloom again!

Every winter I have to put them inside otherwise I'll freeze to death, but I'm never sure they make it. This is the 3rd year they survived! (that's a lot for me since they're also the first plants that survived - ever!)

Bless those lovely little things!

Old Jeans + Wooden Box = Upcycle project!

Upcycling is the process of converting waste materials or useless products into new materials or products of better quality or a higher environmental value.

I wasn't aware of this new term (which obviously isn't so new anymore, but to me it is) but I think my latest project falls under this category of "upcycling". This is what I've done!

1) I took my wooden "memory-box" (where I keep all sorts of memory-thingies, obviously (: )

2) Then I took one of my very old "should-be-thrown-away-long-time-ago-jeans" and cut it up into pieces (great to get some frustrations out!) and started gluing it on my boring box.. I figured, these jeans also have some memories, so why not intergrate it with my memory box?

Here's the result!

Very fun to do!

My First Crochet Pattern!

I made my own crochet necklace.. And by request of other lovely crocheteers I wrote it down! So now I have my first selfmade designed crochet pattern!

It's very simple and easy and not "oh-my-gosh"-beautiful, but it's cute and it's a start!
I have to say, I'm a bit excited and proud.. Just wanted to share happinez ;-)
