We wanted to try out these birds a long time ago, because we really love their shape, and finally the opportunity came up with this mobile for our friends and their fantastic newborn twin daughters.
A small wood rack for a tiny workshop
As you could see from our previous post our workshop gets a little messy from time to time and a bunch of pieces of wood rolling around the shop (literally) was starting to be a problem (and potentially a hazard).
Workbench With Drawers
For a workshop of any kind, two things are fundamental: surfaces and storage. You need solid and wide surfaces to work on and large and secure storage capacity to store your tools and materials when you are not working with them.
Easy gift idea, travel Tic tac toe.
Here is a very simple and fun idea for a birthday present or a very quick DIY project.
It requires very basc sewing skills, and a few rocks!
The socket for the closing rope.
Sew the ribbon to one side of the bag
Secure ropes with a knot
Choose colored rocks, buttond or whatever…
First, cut two pieces of cloth, and prepare a socket to hold the two ropes that are going to close the bag. On one of the pieces sew a grid using a colorful ribbon and sew the three sides of the bag. Use two ropes or laces to make two loops around the top of the bag.
Remember to choose 10 rocks, beads, buttons or whatever you prefere, as long as they are of two distinct colors, to play the game.
And there you have it! If needed you can look here for the rules and strategies to the game. Enjoy!

Sourdough Focaccia
A good friend of ours passed on his sour dough to us. We tried out several bread and pizza recipes, but considering everyones thumbs up in the family (ranging from 2 to 85 years), our favourite recipe using the sour dough is the Focaccia!
