In Danish

Fun! The stick horse DIY in the online magazine Keiki.dk (p 84-85).

From now on I'm hip!

These were born one year ago. But apparantly still are discovered and wanted... A while ago I was asked to contribute to a hip Dutch magazine. But I'm not hip at all, my objection was. Being published in Kek Mama will increase your 'hippigheid' (degree of being hip) at once, Diana assured me.
So there they went for a photoshoot. If you're curious like me, just buy the newest item that is available in the shops now. For those new visitors on my blog, here you can find how to make the stick horse that is published. Go ahead and enjoy!

Published again!

Some weeks ago the great editors of a German family magazine called Nido gave me an assignment to contribute to their magazine. The job was hard to fit into our busy schedule, but finally it turned out great to do! By taking a quiet day off to exclusively make a sweet stick horse, together with plenty of step-by-step pics to show all crafty Germans how to make a horse like this. With a little help of F's mother tongue a German how-to was added.

Now finally the June item of Nido is published and arrived in our mail box last week. May all readers increase the stick horse family!

They planned to publish a large picture of M or L too, so that's why we had a photoshoot in our hallway, just like I was asked for. But hey, I'm not a photographer! Sadly for M and L the editors preferred to redo the shoot in Germany, so there the stick horse went by post.



This time the result was a slightly improved stick horse, note the bridle. Here are my girls, playing with the new member of our horse family.
Last Saturday all stick horses went for another photoshoot, this time for a Dutch magazine. To be continued after summertime.

Catching up

It's quiet on my blog, I know. I'm quite busy both professionally as privately. M and L are into a lot of activities: yesterday we all attended M's circus performance, this morning she was playing her violin in a childrens orchestra. It was the first time for M feeling nervously. Furthermore I'm organising with a group of parents the so-called Springmarket, a feast in school on a Saturday in May. We made a design for the schoolyard, but to get it realised we need a lot of hands... I'll get you posted about the result in a few weeks.
A few weeks ago I got an invitation to contribute to a German family magazine called Nido. It's my first time this is happening through my blog. This week I took a quiet day off to get the work done. Of course it's still top secret ;), but in a few weeks I'll get you posted about that too.

Published!

Today I got a special email: my blog is mentioned in the April issue of an Australian lifestyle magazine, called Home Beautiful. How about that?!
