With Valentine’s Day fast approaching I’ve been wracking my (cheapbastard) brain for a final sweet n’ simple prezzie to make for the hubs…cheers to Mr. Internet for showing me this so I could create this:
a kissin’ couple clothespin that’s the mirror image of us!
it’s a cinch to make your own in minutes with stuff you already have on hand…
Huzzah! The new Ikea brochure has arrived! Packed full of funky furnishings we don’t need but will hopefully find in the As-is section when we next pop in to waste a day browsing. The clever Ikea flyer designers included a delightful Tipp:

We’ve been on the look-out for a play kitchen for our pots & pans banging girlie – a fabulous first birthday present, right? Unfortunately all that seem to be available are craptastic plastic cheapos or exorbitantly priced (but totally groovy) wooden creations that are nicer than our own kitchen! Argh!

As I’m actually starting to see results from my baby-weight-battling workouts I thought I’d treat myself to a fancy cool-down top…until I saw the price tag. €40 for a shirt to wear at the end of a workout is a wee bit out of my budget – not to mention insane…it’s basically just a sweatshirt with holes in it…hey…think I can make one for free?

We’ve searched everywhere for sugar & chemical-free baby biscuits but apparently they don’t exist in Germany – even in natural food stores, bah! After a few bizarre & slightly frightening results I finally came up with a quick & easy 3 ingredient combination that the baby, the hubs & even the dog love to munch on!
How absolutely fabulous is this?
An über clever refashion from Shrimp Salad Circus a.k.a. the ludicrously lovely Lindsay!
