Carnaval

So just done with my 5th night shift.

Let's write a post.

Last weekend it was Carnaval.

So let me show you some pic's of us.

On Friday morning Kids celebrated Carnaval on school.

Noah for the 3th year as Jedi Luke Skywalker. No change in that.

Kira wanted to go as Elsa again , I needed to make a dress a bit bigger, it was already a bit smal last year when I made it.

Now it's too big, so need to make it smaller again, but she can wear it again.

This year wanted to make something new.

I made her the crochet crown hair . 

She told a girl friend who also was dressed as Elsa that only she was the real Elsa as she had the hair also :O :O..... I did not teach her that...........

That weekend we had a dress up party.

My clowns outft from the last years I wore at school, wasn;t alive anymore.

And as a big little red riding hood fan. I wanted to make myself a outfit!!

I did it

What do you think?

I made a petticoat for under the red skirt, so it's much more beautifull to wear.

I really love it.

For years not have been much sewing, I missed it, and was happy it work what I made.

The white peasant top I really love.. I remodeled it many times. Need to draw a new pattern.

And I think I will make it this summer again for my self. eally liked it!!

The next day a friend told about a kids ball, so we went there, for me the first time to see that

As you see on the pic's Kira wanted a Elsa face paint!!

And I wanted to practice again :)

Every time I did it a bit different, I really like doing this!!

On Monday we had really bad weather, heavy wind. so all the parades where cancelled.

On Tuesday the weather was a bit better, only many rain, and as I wasn't in the mood for sick kids we stayed at home.

So we didn't see anything od the parades ... to bad....

Hopefully next year we have a better change

So I eat them almost all.. hihi.. they where very yummy

Here Kira wanted to bake Apple Turnovers... they where very yummy too.

We will bake them more....

All my years I have never looked with yellow. but this color I love so much.

It's ochreous (okergeel NL), just made single crochet stitches...

I bought two colors. also a red one. 

Went looking on my pinterest for a other pattern. Found one.

Next weekend it's Carnaval here, and Kira her Frozen dress of last year is to small.....

So a while back went to my Grandma to ask how to make it bigger. she gave me tips, and last night finally started 

First cut it open again

 Then 

My sweet friend the sewing machne came back on the table.

And as I wanted to make something with it 

I started a crochet crown of Elsa, perfect with the dress.

Next Friday it's Carnaval at school, so it will be finished .

Noah wanted to go as a Jedi like the other years, so no sewing :))))

My Clown outfit didn't survived the last time in the washing machine, so needs something new. and I thought lets make something

Kira's party's.

Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes for Kira's birthday.

We / she had a lovely day.

Last friday was the kids party.

Some of you where very curious.. so let me show you what we all did.

First I wanne show a big ball of  yarn

Above Kira's part

Kira wanted to finger crochet a garland for her birthday, but after a meter it was hard to keep it up. So I promised Kira I would finish it, and as you see I did.

I hang it up together with some horse decoration we made togheter.

Can you see it, the small garland with the horses ?

It's so beautfull with the flag garland

* * * 

For the kidsparty we wanted to paint plaster ( don't know if thats the good Englisch word)

So I made some mold

Here you can see them done

Mostly horses, but also a few dino's for her boy friend and a dolphin for Noah.

It didn't look much, so I made it all again

Then on Friday at 12.00 we picked up all the kids. Kira asked 6 kids (5 girls, 1 boy), 1 girl was sick, so could not come.

First kids wanted to give there presents

I put there names in a balloon, so Kira could pick on and read there names

It was a lot of fun!!!

Then started with eating pancakes that i baked that morning, sorry no pic of the pancakes

after kids where playing, so we cleaned it out and put the first craft on the table.. 

Painting

We painted a canvas, and the molds, I glued it all together.

And after about 30 minutes the first finished pieces came.

Some make much work of there painting.

I so love to see it.

With my piece I saw the glue attracted totally in the plaster, so my beautifull horse broke on the floor in 3 pieces :(

(hubby was very creative too.... left below)

They where all so beautifull.

We played a few games, and went on to the next craft

making a bracelet with your name, or just some letters. What the kids wanted to make

I made one for me with both kids there name in it

After that we did somemore games, I printed out all kids of paper for coloring.

Then the party was on his end.

Kids and us had a blast.

* * * 

The that evening it was time to cook for the big party on Saterday.

I don't have pic's of all the food.

But most I have

 I made 2 apple-pie's 

 stuffed eggs

 Big quiche of veggies and bacon

Quiche of leek and shoarma

I also made tomato with mozzarella, a salad, stewed pears.

For the kids hotdog.

I also did one bad thing....... I ordered a cake ... yes I did..

But it was a very pretty one

A mother at school bakes cakes, in what you want. 

I asked purple, pink, frozen, unicorn and horses.

And look what she made!!! ♥

Kira was so happy with it

I always have a pic of the whipcream of the cake, but as I ordered the cake, we still had to make whip-cream.. also very yummy in coffee and on the apple pie.. hihihi

Kira had two awesome days.

She is spoiled rotten

Yesterday all day she was playing with her new toys, crafting he new crafts.

It was a great weekend!!!!!

Today the kids had a extra day off of school, so we went away to a swimming pool

It was awesome

Hope you all have a great weekend! :)

Happy Birthday little Kira! ♥

Today 5 years ago, our lives where blessed with a baby girl.

I can't say often enough that time fly's by so fast.

It really does

When I was little I wanted to  be finally 16 , then wanted to be 18 so I could drive. 21 so I could do more.. etc etc etc..

But now. I wished time would stop......

But it doens't so..

Happy Birthday to Kira

♥ That this year all your dreams may come true ♥

I was making Kira crochet horses for her birthday, but as craft time suddenly is much shorter, I took my till late last night to finish them of.

But as Kira was screaming of happyness this morning it was all worth it.

The beginning of the white one

 2 finished body's and heads

and then the legs... Ow My what a work was that.. inc - dec - inc - dec.... on and on and on..

But at the end it really does look like a horse leg, and very pretty one..

Then the finishing pic

A unicorn and a brown stallion ♥

Kira asked for a unicorn with pink and purple hair.. so tadaa...

It's awesome to see what you can do this with crochet

and make a little girl so happy

Just went looking with the kids if they still where under the blankets it's -5 degrees here outside.

And this is what I saw
