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. And I sort of volunteered the whole family to craft with me! We all needed a break and with the weather not cooperating it was …
This Easter wreath was so fun to make! I glued a whole bunch of plastic eggs to a styrofoam wreath. I glued glitter onto some of the eggs, white and pink and yellow glitter. Then I added a whole lot of small pretty feathers here and there. It’s like instant Easter when I hang this …

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 …
I don’t know about you, but I definitely need distractions nowadays! Fun things to do, friends to talk to, cute bunny-videos to look at. I try to dream away and step into my fantasy land for a little while – Pargasia, where everyone who wants to be a princess can be that! Or a pirate …
When you’re quarantined, you need fun stuff to do. Here are some the crafts I’ve made that you too can make at home. You only need some old books, newspaper, scraps or paper and maybe some pipe-cleaners (and if you want to go crazy with pipe-cleaners, there are lots of great resources on Pinterest!) Make …
