Such a wonderful weekend with friends

We spent the loveliest of weekends with our friends who were visiting from Denmark last week. It's so special to have people in your life whom you can't see that often but who stay so close in your heart... we did a whole lot of catching up, lulling in the park, making loom bracelets, dancing and singing to the soundtrack of Frozen, and eating good food... it felt like a holiday!

A modern house for a small family of Sylvanian rabbits

It's been months and months since my last post... apologies!

I thought I should share these adorable little rabbits though, and the shoebox house I made them as a birthday present for a very special little girl who had her birthday on Sunday.
I guess this isn't quite the style of houses Sylvanian families usually live in but since I had mostly modern interior magazines lying around (and since I much prefer this esthetic) this lucky bunch ended up in a pretty modern pad! 

 
I sticky-taped a piece of cardboard in the middle of the shoebox to add a level to the house, glued 'wallpaper' and flooring, cut furniture out of magazines, glued them to the walls and... voila! :-)


Oh, I also made a tiny little garland out of hole-paper-punch left overs; I couldn't resist! 


And since the birthday girl turned 4 I wrapped the whole thing into... four packages!
