Do Ghosts drive? Well.. this one does.

craftiness and other things

I have been a little crafty lately.. I've actually finished several project but I haven't photo documented everything. But today I feel like sharing some of my projects.. and most likely a bunch of photos of my favorite little guy.

Last weekend our 2 sweet nieces were celebrated. Eline turned 8 and was baptised and her baby sister Silje was blessed and named.
Eline has asked me ages ago if I would make her a purse out of paper.. you know the kind.. the candy wrapper purse. I had told her that I didn't know how (and I knew that it's a rather slow process). I had tried part of the process before (I made a bracelet) but I decided to 'youtube' the entire purse making process. Youtube was a great help, and I jumped into making my first paper purse ever. The result is not perfect but Eline was very pleased, and so was I.

For baby Silje I had the chance to use my "new" (I got it for my birthday in June) butterfly paper punch to make a paper mobile.

My earlier mobiles have had problems with the wooden sticks I used as the hanger. I made a star of 3 sticks, but the had a tendency to shift, because my tying skills apparently are lacking greatly. This time I tried making a triangle instead. It proved a lot easier for me to to tie 2 sticks together at a time, than 3.

I used fishing line so the butterflies really looked like flying.

The entire family from Norway came down for the celebrations, so we had a busy but fun weekend with the family. Adam loved, loved, loved spending time with (being chased around by) all of his cousins. (below with cousin Leo)

I'm a hopeless party-photographer I forget taking pictures. So I don't even have a picture of baby Silje. But she was there too.. cute as a button.
