This necklace was so fun to make! I had already made a template for a snake-necklace, so I decided to make another one. I gathered all my turquoise beads and went to work. And it turned into a real statement necklace – you can’t help but feel pretty when you wear it, it has such …
Spring is starting to come to my parts of the world, but it couldn’t spring fast enough so I made a whole bunch of flowers out of paper. The yellow and blue ones got to share space with some birch branches for a while. Look how pretty with all those patterns in the paper! And …
…or well, you can, but where’s the fun in that?! (read all about our Påskris-tradition here) This year I made a teeny tiny påskris, with extra feathers, and extra colorful.

This is one of my favorite pictures of my daughter – we had so much fun there in the woods surrounded by all those flowers and all that greenery! My daughter wore a crown I made out of glass beads, a gown made from two old curtains, black pants and boots and my favorite necklace …
