This and that!

Yesterday when we were over at Max and Linda's, Maja really liked to play with Max's soft toy elephant so i decided to make my own for her. I used the same shape elephant as i use here on the blog and boy did it turn out ugly! At least she likes to play with it.

Today we went to the aquarium with Rebecka and Linda. It was alot of fun and the kids really enjoyed it. Afterwords we had a stroll through the city, sat on some stairs and ate amazing sushi. Now we are home and Maja is playing off all her energy on the floor. I'm exhausted, its hard work going to the city with a kid.

Maja loved watching all the fishes.

Seriously massive and scary crab.

The swedish crew!

I have almost finished our picture wall now. I still have some frames to fill. I'm happy with the result. I didn't plan it at all, just put them up as i went. Some of them are a bit wonky but i don't mind.
Spring is here now and i love all the beautiful blossoms that you can take inside. The water for these does need a changes tho, the colour doesn't look to nice.

Cot bumper!

We got this cute cot bumper from Diana, she got it from a friend and my plan was to use it as a base and sew new fabric onto it but when i got it i saw how cute it was and it was also in really good condition so i decided to keep it. Its handmade and i can see a mum or grandmother sitting making this and it being used by maybe two kids and then passed on to end up at a charity giveaway and finally it ended up here.

Every morning when we go into Maja she is lying with her head up at the top of the bed. No matter how low down we put her in the beginning of the night, she wriggles up. So hopefully this will protect her little head a bit, not that it has been a problem with her hitting it or so but better to be safe than sorry.

Here in Australia they recommend you not to have cot bumpers to prevent sids but i have no problems with using one. I know Maja will be fine. The only thing i can see that will be a problem is she having fun with the ties and trying to pull on them.

Dream!

So I'm continuing on my dream/wish list of things for the home and this time i wish we had H&M here in Australia. I would love to have these linen sheets and curtains.

Old and New!

Diana gave me these old side plates and a bowl. They came from the house that Arron was born in and this is whats left So beautiful and old. I really do love blue and white together and i also love to match old with new so i would love to get some of the Marimekko Siirtolapuutarha, In Good Company series below, actually, those four items would be perfect and then maybe some white dinner plates. Its good to dream sometimes!
