Keys

Alana loves parcels as much as I do.

Today I got the lovely keys I bought. I love old keys.

When I was about 9 I found an old huge key and I was very proud of it. Because of my find I wanted to become an archeologist. That summer I went around the neighborhood in search of old archeological finds. Collecting old pieces of plates and even bones I found. I saved it all in a shoebox. I can also remember it only lasted for a summer and I don’t know what happened to my key.
 

But the love for keys never ended. They remind me of secret gardens, diaries, old cabinets, keys to the heart and everything mysterious.

Husband was watching soccer so I made a key necklace instead.

Button mirror

We were¨ een beetje dom¨....Yes, we were a little dumb!

I finally finished my mirror today. For a few weeks now I had the plan to spice the mirror up my husband and I bought together with a side table we really loved. I was actually planning to decorate the mirror entirely but this just suited me better. I just love the result. It will hang in the hallway resulting in the mirror being a spectacular welcoming for anyone that loves creative beauties.

So, this was the idea; I wanted to show my button mirror on my blog and also to change my blog picture in to something else. The mirror would be perfect and we only had to find a way to include the blog title.

We, my brother in law and I were talking about writing it reverse and hang it opposite the mirror and then take a picture of it. Ok, that was dumb because we could easily write on the mirror….(we had a real epiphany moment there.)

Lipstick would be perfect and was all we needed. But because we still had the whole reverse thing in our head, we ended up writing the blog title in reverse…..and we only figured it out when we finally made a picture that we shouldn’t have done that.



Bugger that was dumb! We spoiled my lovely lipstick and we still didn’t have the result we wanted.

After a few laughs we tried again….and VOILA…my new blog picture.

My brother in law loves the camera also:

Thank you for helping!!

Paintings

My cough is limited to the mornings and evenings. My throat is back to its normal size and the claw, biting, stinging creatures have moved out. The bugger snot monster found another cave to hide in so my nose doesn’t drip liking a leaking tap anymore. My ears popped open and that was a special relieve making my head feel normal again. My voice is no longer a whisper….my husband misses my softer voice already. And last but not least my sick, frumpy sick outfits can be stored away. I am cured. Well nearly.

(I haven’t smoked a cigarette since Saturday….will I be able to keep it up? I will keep you posted about this one)

We had a busy day on wednesday, with lots of creative moments. Like when I tried to be artistic and made two ¨paintings¨.

Vampire

So don't be alarmed but I am kind off a vampire. I inherited this from my father. Pointing my finger at my father ended with my finger caught between his teeth far to often for me to forget. It was a game, exciting and fun. Would he catch my finger...? Surely I did awful things to get back at my father. Like making pony tails in his hair, or playing ¨shop¨ over and over again.

I feel horrible. My nose is runny and my throat burns every time I reenact a seal. But after two hours lying on the couch I felt liking doing something. So I decided to make our own bookshelf - tower. Off course with help from my loving husband who actually will end up doing it by himself. Being that, in the end, it still will be my idea when people ask about the creation. Anyway back to the whole vampire thing. I bit my husband. Yes. Apparently a little to hard. Now this wasn't the first time. And apparently he still doesn't enjoy it.

I sunk my teeth in his finger. The bite marks sadly proof it. The poor man had to work on our lovely bookshelf with a sore finger. The whole exciting vampire part would be the bite marks because sucking blood is something I haven't tried. Hmm. I kinda suck at being a vampire.


P.S Don't you love the bookshelf tower?
