Doin' Things

After Easter we the princess and I had lots of carrots we made for hanging on the easter tree, so we had to come up with a possible reuse.  Finding something was easy, she loves making hairpins out of things so we made some for her and her best friend.

I never in my life thought of making so much stuff for easter.  The eggs with natural dyes, decoration and more decoration,  bread lambs and cookies with bunny forms covered with pink and blue sugar.  Lots of fun this time.  The children are getting older and we have more time to just be together and crate.



Pasta making is lots of work but also so much fun.  So we get to do it a lot lately.  The dough below made very nice Ravioli filled with ricotta and mintleaves.

I also just got myself a new very good book from with lots of easy fun stuff to sew from Pip Lincolne.  "Meet me at Mike's" is full packed with groovy projects like this purse I made for a friend's B-Day.

First collection

There is things that can just never get to be unfashionable, things you get to love over the years and can use them and reuse them again and again.

The boys know that very well and even the big guy now talks about his poor cold ears!  Now...

My first collection is here!!!!

some of the colours

 They will be sold in a Shop for modern childwear in Zürich and possibly also in Baden.  I will be taking orders on any size, also adult and in many colour combinations.  Making takes about two weeks (slowclothes remember?)

The "slow" shows outside and "clothes" inside

Pure 100% goodness, swiss made

Mango-Mascarpone Monument

I spent 3 hours fighting against all sorts of  ingredients to get this cake done for Kerstin.  She turned 45 so I decided that being 45 would be for me the half of a lifetime, so she actually deserves it.

Yes, girls... I'm not doing this for every B-Day.  But the one or other "old cookie" will get one of this for her celebration.
