No Friday Bunny today – we are changing the apartment and the moving out is processing.

For a small compensation I suggest you to watch one episode of my favorite cartoon from childhood:

The music is very catchy, I warned you!

Here it is one unexpected Friday Bunny!

But it is great, isn’t it? Even if not made by me, but by IKEA.

Thanks for the good friends who made me this wonderful gift!

Here, there is a short video that shows the Bunny in it’s full glory:

For the ones who really want to fly, but are too afraid of it…

…there is always an alternative!

(The bird is from clay, the basket from cork, paper and hay, the balloon is standard paper mache technique with decorative paper.)

The cookies this year (thanks to two of my best friends that helped me a lot):

Two of the cookie cutters seemed perfect for making some pigs 9and one with a banjo, of course!):

Then I wanted to sew something and that’s what happened:

And I guess all this was just not enough, so I’ve made some felted little things and added them to every present:

I hope that everyone of you is having happy holidays. I did what I could.

Remember the dueling banjo pigs that I mentioned recently?

Many people already caught this disease, but my case seems to be very bad. Or it’s not a disease, despite being contagious – it’s more likely a way to deal with stress, which I have a lot, don’t let me say on a permanent basis. Nixo and Michel are contributing to the project, too.

I will show you here the last picture of mine, which I like the most:

Here you can see all of my pigs (16 so far) and don’t forget to check the link from time to time. There’s no doubt that this number will grow.

There is this strange site – it’s called “Dueling banjo pigs”. Two nice people – Stacy and Guy, will welcome every illustration of a pig with a banjo. Nixo showed me the site a long time ago and I was thinking about it, but only recently sent them a doodle. Certainly will try to make a better one some day.

This was just a joke with Michel and his version of the classic Batman logo.
I uploaded it few days ago in Twitter – last pic is actually the logo of the Bulgarian National Railway Company.

In the beginning, this charming little chair was not at all very appealing.
It was old, scratchy, dirty and lonely.

This kind of “projects” attract many assistants by the old principle of “Tom Sawyer and the fence”.

Some white paint, decoupage glue, nice paper serviettes motives and enthusiasm and that’s the result:

I kinda like it, even if it is far from perfect.

It was fun to make and it makes me smile when I look at it now.

Probably every house can make a good use of one of these. It’s comfy when you are putting on your shoes, you could use it to reach most of the shelves at home, and it’s priceless if you have children to play with it.

Me and my husband just love the lights of candles. Therefore our home is full of candlesticks of all kinds, but it seems there is never enough of them, so I’ve made some more from jars:

It’s easy to do them even without being a decoupage-guru. All you need is a jar, paper napkin with nice design, some C-200 glue and some free time.

I made them this summer, while playing with a piece of Cernit clay.
Nice embellishments for gift wrapping or such things…
