One coat of acrylic primer 

sand it down again (using very fine sand paper) 

a coat of grey furniture wax (rub it on and buff it out)

 and a new toile de jouy fabric

Just a day's work and voila!! 

....so pretty again

Thank you for stopping by...

bunch of roses...

I found a great tutorial on how to make gorgeous

coffee filter roses on a blog called the white bench.

And when my friends saw the once I had made, they 

also wanted to learn how to make them.  

So we decided to have a genuine girly time 

one evening and make bunch of roses.

We were all so busy cutting, gluing coloring etc. that we

hardly had time for the cupcakes, delicious chocolate cake 

or the rose wine!!!

But we did have a great FUN

thank you Monica...

2000 divine cupcakes...

Our third "mömmur og möfffins" party (mothers&cupcakes party)

 took place at our botanical garden on a sunny Saturday the 4th. of August.

 It was a great success and we are so thankful to all the mothers that baked for 

us, for this annual charity event.  We received over 2000 divine cupcakes,

 and they where all sold out in mere 30 minutes!!!!

We where hoping to race at least 5000 euros, and yes, we did!!! 

(we got 5500 euros ;)  

Like the two previous years, the money goes to the maternity ward 

at our local hospital, and this time it will be used to buy a special 

resuscitation table for premature babies.  

this time, me and my two daughters baked 150 cupcakes  :)

and of course we made lots of pom poms...

just look at all the beautiful cupcakes we received...

happy

smiling

girls, everywhere...

and all these beautiful girls helped selling the cupcakes,

and we also had life music

and everybody gave their work to support the event...

we also auctioned an oil painting, made by one great artist 

in our group... and that was a lot of fun!!

it was such a perfect day, and hopefully we will continue

to do this for years to come...

smile and have a cupcake... 

and now its off to a Spanish island for our family summer vacation ;)

summer time...

I'm getting inspired by the beauty of the summer.

 Whether it's something I bake, drink, wear or make,  

it's all about bright and happy colors.

I guess in my heart, I'm a real summer girl!! 

hope you are having a nice summer time....

day of celebration...

Congratulations on June 17!!!!

Today is our national day of celebration in Iceland

 For the occasion

 I baked our favorite cake ...mmm

big old chair...

I bought this big old chair on a flea market, only because it's so 

incredible nice to sit in it (it wasn't the look, believe me ;).

I new it would have to be changed dramatically if I where to bring 

it in to our all grey living room, but the good thing was, that the cover of

the chair was not damaged or torn so the challenge was to some

how change the look of the chair so it would fit in.

so this is what I did ;

It did take some time & work but now we all

love this big old comfortable chair so

much more.

Thank you for stopping by.
