Our Lily is becoming quite the craftsy kid. She likes to make furniture for her dolls, she makes origami flowers and small gifts for her friends. We made this origami mini book together and actually not just one. We made a pile of them which comes handy now before Christmas. It’s an ideal gift for …
Winter has come and I realized we are completely out of protective lip balm. So yesterday I got down to work. I prepared several new recipes and bring you the first one, our shiny new winter poppyseed oil lip balm which will accompany us this winter.
A mess in my handbag is a kid of diagnosis. When my children came, a handbag became a huge diaper bag where my things were mostly replaced by wipes, bottles, cookies and biting toys and most of the time I couldn’t even find a pen. I could empty the whole bag and still I wouldn’t …
Lately, I’ve been really enjoying the work with polymer clay and after I finished a little bigger and scary piece, I wanted to try something really tiny for my daughters’ dollhouse. Not so long ago I made a folcloric breakfast for our dolls and I wanted to continue with some more food, so here comes the tiny …

I decided to give our girls creative suitcases for Christmas. And I wouldn’t be the Creative Mom if I didn’t think instantly about not buying them but making them. Fortunatelly, I had two great shoeboxes at home.

My girls decided to make small gifts from salt dough. Do you know this miracle? It’s a great alternative of plasteline or play d’oh. You can dry or bake it and the result is pretty hard and resistant. In this tutorial I will show you how to make a keychain from dried salt dough.

Nice giftbox easy to make. Pick a paper with some nice pattern to bring it to the next level.
Lately I’ve made the exploding box for my husband and I decided to stay creative when it came to his birthday. I made him this matchbox suitcase as an alternative to a birthday card.
