Yep, you got to live it all they say. Birthday in lockdown. Me and my 2 boys. My son decided that we needed chocolate cake with candles so I was shopping for candles yesterday. He also bought some extra cookies so we could eat a lot (his words). He has been SO VERY EXCITED the whole day that it is his mommy’s birthday, he has been asking every 3 mins when we are having cake lol. My partner had decorated the livingroom this morning before I came up! I got some awesome gifts! Poffertjes (google it lol) pan and a humidifier! And I got a lovely bouquet from my very dear friend in the street. I will certainly remember this one way or another hehe.
Coron lockdown and to stay sane!
Just like the rest of the world kind of, we are in a lockdown here in NL. Which means everything is closed (except for supermarkets, essential shops and pharmacies and stuff like that) and we have the kids at home. My kid is so far doing great with this. I have found enough things to keep him entertained + the weather has been awesome so he is outside playing a lot. The rule of stay inside does not apply to kids under 12. They are allowed to be outside and play together. So, here are some of the things we have done so far. Plus an awesome fabric I am going to make a shirt for my son of.

A thank you note
So, I was thinking how to solve the whole “how to wash and iron” in the clothes. Since I make a lot of small clothes, ironing tags in there will not look good. So I am going to print a thank you note with washing instructions and add that to the packages I give when I have finished an order. That should be a nice way of getting what you ordered?

Some of my latest work!
Lately, I have been up to quite a lot! School vacations and an ill kid but managed to get work done anyway. I have had some orders and right now I am working on a big cross stitch piece for my friends daughter. A calendar for December where you hang small gifts in.
I have had some orders from a new friend, one of the moms from my sons class.
And then ofc some things that are going up in the shop soon! I am hoping that I will have enough to make a summer yard sale in my garden!

Some items made and some items sent away!
Today, Sunday, has not been a rest day what-so-ever! I have fixed up some of the clothes I made with my old name and removed those tags. And also packed them to be sent to Sweden, to a good friend who will donate them to people that needs them.
Also I have sorted the last rhinestones today. My son tried to help me for a while but… he didn’t really get the whole idea that they needed to be sorted on size. So I ended up sending him down to get some stuff for me haha.
I have also finished up some headbands and bibs! And ofc placed it all online for people to be able to order. Well, the headband is for my son haha! I hope that I will be able to place more in the shop soon. I am as good as done with the stuff I had laying around.
Next week, I do have something very important to do before anything else though. Some of you, who is friends with me on Facebook, knows that I saved a girl last Thursday. An 8 week baby who had stopped breathing. I want to make her something, something pretty, so that is the first thing I will start on as soon as I have dropped my son in school tomorrow.

The most important shirt ever.
Today, I had the honor to make the most important shirt ever for my friends son. His No more Chemo shirt! He is having his last chemo the 23rd September. And for the rest of the family, I made #LexStrong shirts. That has been their tag through all this. Suck it leukemia! This kid is ours and not yours! Go Lex!!

Lowered price for bags!
At first, I thought 10 euros was a good price for the bags. But after thinking about it for a bit, 7 euros is better. 75 SEK. I will place more bags in the shop as soon as I have picked up my sons bestie in school!

Make a wish
Today, me and my family, got the opportunity to celebrate something fantastic. Make a wish, Netherlands ( https://makeawishnederland.org/ ). For my little neighbor Lex. Life hasn’t been kind to him and now that organisation made some of his wishes come true. He came to the place where we gathered, in a police car with lights on and all. He got escorted by motorcycle polices. And when he got out, all of us were there cheering on him. It was so awesome!
Chris was ofc overly happy with celebrating this, his friend Lex. So he nagged on me to have his new shirt on, rainbow with rainbow tiger. Who am I to say no, especially since he had a good argument: Mommy, I didn’t make the shirt dirty, may I please have it on again on Lex day?

Bed rest and then 150% speed ahead!
After a few days of rest (after taking a birthmark away from my scalp) I went 150% speed ahead today. I had 11 shirts to cut text for and press on. You might think that it’s not that much but… Oh my, the weeding of the htv. If it is small, it’s suck small pieces that they get stuck everywhere. I found one piece in my cola Hihi. But now the shirts are done and they became AWESOME! On the picture with my fingers, the tiny tweeny small pieces I had to get off the vinyl.

An old gaming friend
An old gaming (World of Warcraft) friend contacted me this weekend, asking if I could make something for him. And well, anyone who knows me, knows that I will not say no unless I think I can’t make it. So said and done. Today when C was at the neighbor, playing with his bestie, I had time to create. 1.5 hour from cutting the fabric til the text was on there. Not too bad 😀 The pattern is a Jelly shirt fro the creator Puperita. First one I make but not the last. Easy pattern and came out great!
