Decoration of a little boys room

I haven't been blogging lately. There has been lots going on, that hasn't been creative, so I have no new things to show right now, but some old stuff.

For example I did a little renovation to my little son's room. After six years use it needed some painting and remodelling. He insisted though to keep lots of his old treasures, what I can understand. It made me happy that he wanted to have a little wall hanging I made for his first birthday still above his bed. It is a stable for his toy donkey. 

First it has been hanging on the fence inside his crib. I just hung it out for a photo at that time. Later I took of the straps only leaving two for fixing it with nails to the wall. 

The roof of the stable is stuffed and springing forwards to give cover to the donkey and who else might be with him. At some times it had been quite crowded inside the pocket.

Little son is not playing with his donkey a lot, but he likes him to be near. 

Another wall-hanging I took off during the remodelling. Little son is a crafter himself and in continues production of things that needs space at the wall, on shelfs and where ever he finds a spot. Tidying up his room is always a major project :-)

This spiral wall-hanging I made before I had children from self-dyed fabrics.

It is off duty now. Also the blue dyed out from the sun and it is not as nice as before.

I hope to get back to sewing soon.

Second Yoga-mat-bag

For a day of Yoga and "bien-etre" that has been organised in our village I have been asked to sell bags and other stuff for Yoga. In march I showed my first bag that had been very simple. I made a second model that is very advanced and an all-inclusive Yoga bag.

As you can see the mat is outside the main bag in a tunnel (The matlas I had for the photo is a bit thick, with average mats it's fitting better). Above there is a little zipper pouch for key or some coins. The main bag is big enough to contain, everything else you might need like a light cover or towel, a water bottle, warm socks or a cushion.

The Yoga day was yesterday and it was very good visited. I didn't sell bad, but this bag is still mine. So if someone needs it ... let me know, because me I'm still not doing Yoga. 

A bientôt,
