#384 baby goes retro

I always enjoy the vibrant colors and funky patterns from the Scandinavian designers, both my little boys have several items and I think it makes them look so fresh and happy ... it's nice to know that BabyGoesRetro from Australia sells many of these fantastic labels online so shipping gets a bit closer to home for  me here in Malaysia...

#383 Huset

I hadn't seen this beautiful baby journal by Sandra from ISAK before until yesterday when I visited the webshop from Huset and of course I had to show it to you too...from what I understand the journal comes with two development charts and stickers to record first achievements and milestones, very lovely! I also liked this blanket and pillow from Swedish design brand Brokiga very much ... although a bit too warm for Malaysia unfortunately ...

How to make nature craft crowns...

...oh boy did I have a wonderful week last week! My husband and I spend 4 romantic days on a island here in Malaysia and being with just the two of us was really nice ... no need to care of our boys and knowing that they were having a wonderful time with their grandparents ... of course I was extremely HAPPY when coming home and seeing their beautiful faces, but I can really recommend a short trip for all parents once in a while!

I apologize for not posting a new win-on-Wednesday, an open house tour or a new craft project last week, but I promise this week I'm back to my usual routine and will share super nice things with you! To start this week I will show you a craft project from Maya Donenfeld, who many of you probably know from her blog maya*made. Maya grew up in San Francisco and now lives in rural upstate New York with her husband and two young children, she is a very busy women, so it makes me happy that she still finds time to once in a while share one of her craft projects with us... today she shows us how to make 'nature craft crowns and cuffs'...
