Karneval

Time flyes... my little boy Oskar is going to have his last karneval at the kindergarten!

It is a february tradition here in Norway for the kids to dress up and have a party. He is going to dress like Spiderman or Batman... he is not sure yet and the party is tomorrow! But no way he is going to make me decide for him. His independence makes me happy and nostalgic at the same time.

My older son Daniel had his first Carnaval when he was 3 years old and his favorite character was Mickey Mouse.

Mickey is a mouse, but he wears normal clothes, so it is a very easy costume every one can DIY!

DIY & Budget

This is the result of an idea that you can say: started in the bathroom.. hihihihi...

I've got my boys to help me collect toilet paper rolls, I was thinking to create wall art like I have seen in Pinterest. Nice decoration ideas for everyone budget and a very good recycling idea!

 The result is this chain. I wanted to make it easy with out using glue or paint and thought about using just tape for color it and to put them together.

I cut the rolls using the same width of the tape. The tape I use is markeringstape from Søstrene Grene, (that cost from nok 1,22). Put the tape on the paper leaving a tab and roll it around. Use the tab to assure and form a ring. Now do the same with another color but before assuring pass it thru your first ring.

Mi casa es su casa

After 10 wonderful years living in our cosy apartment we moved to a beautiful, brand new tomannsbolig, (duplex house), at the end of may 2010. It has everything we wanted in a house and more because the only thing to do was to move in and enjoy it. After almost two years living here we have made some changes inside and outside and we have more plans to improved it.

It's a two levels house, five bedrooms, two complete bad rooms,(one of them is private for the master bedroom), open plan kitchen living room combined and three storage rooms.

 I will be updating pictures.

Fabelaktig Konkurranse: Your Best Interior Picture

One of the pictures that I took during 2011 Christmas dinner that I host for my girlfriends is between Fabelaktig's 10 favorites photo competition:
Your best interior picture/Ditt beste interiørbilde



I am extremely happy about this because behind this photo were twelve fabulous girlfriends of mine getting ready to enjoy a delicious dinner that me and my husband prepared with great care and because there were more than 300 contributions to Maias competition.

Ønsker alle deltakerne lykke til!
