Spring in my Room

Today I picked some really beautiful Flowers that bloom right now. The Flowers come from a tree called Magnolia Stellata or Star Magnolia. The Tree is native to Japan. In our parts Magnolia Stellata usually blooms in late winter and because of low temperatures flowers often freeze and turn brown. But this year we are lucky that we have a bit warmer weather.

Easter special: Egg Box Gift

You can make some really beautiful Gifts using Egg Box and Paper from magazine.

Cut the Paper in very small pieces. On the top and all the sides of the Box put some liquid paper Glue and sprinkle small Paper pieces while the glue is still wet. When the Box is dry, put some colored hard-boiled Eggs or some Candy in it and wrap it as a Present.

Children will be thrilled!

Easter special: Hen from Felt and Fabric

In order to make these cute Hens you need some Fabric and Felt pieces and a piece of rope for the tail.

In the beginning cut 2 Fabric (or Felt) pieces in the same shape as in Picture A, then cut 2 Felt pieces for comb and beak. Next sew together 2 pieces of Fabric, that you’ve cut out before, with the 2 Felt pieces and a piece of Rope in between, like in Picture A.

Once you’ve done that fill the Hen with some Cotton Pads or some fabric and sew the Hen together like in Picture B.

With some imagination you can make your Hen even prettier with the help of 2 Buttons for the eyes and some Felt pieces for the legs.

Fried Mars

Yesterday I found some really good and easy recipe for the times you are in great need for something sweet - Fried Mars

The ingredients are:
- 1 Mars Chocolate
- 1 spoon of All-Purpose Flour and 1 spoon of Corn Flour
- a pinch of Baking Powder
- 2-3 spoons of Milk
- Oil

Directions:
1.Put Mars Chocolate in the Freezer for a while – it mustn't froze, it just has to be cool so that the inner part of the Chocolate doesn't leak during frying
2.Mix All-Purpose and Corn Flour together then add Baking Powder, Milk and mix some more until you get a thick mixture.
3.Put Mars Chocolate in the mixture so that it is covered from all sides
4.Lay Mars in hot Oil and fry it until it's golden brown
5.Serve it with Ice Cream or with French Fries

Bon Appetit!

Clay Candle Holders N2

I also made these two Candle Holders from Clay. I used the same technique as with the one I described earlier.

On the black and white Candle Holder I glued some red plastic stones to make it more sparkly. This time I painted the Candle Holders using Poster Colors. When the paint was dry I protected them with clear shining Varnish.

The last thing I did was to put Candle Wicks and pour some Beeswax in the homemade Candle Holders. Natural and Easy!
