DIY – witch costume

DIY – Witch costume

This year Clara will be a witch for Halloween. She has been helping out, making the witch broom, with finding just the right sticks and branches in the forrest nearby. For the rest of the costume, I made a cape from some scrap fabric and the hat I bought last year at Panduro, a craft store here in Sweden. Normally I would like to have made the hat too, but Clara was going to bring it to the Halloween party at preschool and I thought if was best to find a durable hat 🙂 Happy Halloween!

  • Today is “Fat Tuesday” and here in Sweden we eat “Semlor” and we made some for our mini Mouse family too, using a play dough recipe from the lovely book “Hidden Places”. Making home made play dough is super easy, you just need flour, water, salt and oil, things you always have at home 🙂 We used a piping bag nozzle to make the whipped cream and baked the clay pasteries in the oven at 100° C for about 2 hours. We then painted them with white hobby paint for the whipped cream and water colors for the bun. . . . #makencreate #hiddenplacesbook #mailegmouse #homemadeplaydough #fattuesday #fettisdagen #homemadetoys #miniaturedollhousefood #miniaturedollhouse #cutefood #creativekids #kidscreate

  • Om Tuesday it is “Fat Tuesday” here in Sweden and we eat “Semlor” - a small, wheat flour bun, flavoured with cardamom and filled with almond paste and whipped cream... yummy right?!

  • Tomorrow is Ella’s name day and I have made her a spool knitted name sign for her room, made out of an old wire hanger. Spool knitting is really fast and fun, the tricky part can be what to use the long yarn tubes for. And here is one example, I guess we can come up with more ideas?
