What makes you happy on a Monday? Kristina’s colorful, oversized wooden bead necklace /rose-gray - beautiful colored beads of misty rose, light gray, sand yellow, charcoal, deep brown and mustard yellow make a happy combination! Her color choices and creativity are always inspiring. See her color diary for more lovely color ideas ………….

Ahoy, sail away with your kids with these 2 DIY crafts, complete with PDF patterns. The paper mache boat from Ann Wood and cardboard ship (complete with tiny lifeboats too) from Li-Er. Good weekend to everyone!

If you have not seen Olivelse’s products before, drop by their new shop. I love the new vintage fabric range of totes, toy bags, signature ukeleles & swallows, bibs, baby sleeping bags, duvet covers  …….

…… and see the lovely hanging mobiles and displays from a corner of their house.

MotherBabyEarth’s first store-wide spring sale is here! Some sale items in the shop have really limited quantities, so do drop by quick and see what you like.

Though we don’t get the different seasons here in Malaysia, it’s good to know spring is coming (for those in the northern hemisphere). Hello to new growth, hello spring!

What makes you happy on a Monday? Fine, delicate Japanese paper balloons made of washi paper with pretty colors and designs - penguin and globe, balloon fish and white bird, ladybird and strawberry - see all here at Uguisu Shoten, an online shop by Hiki selling lovely Japanese zakka, paper goods, tapes, magazines and gifts.

Made by Joel is a blog (and now a website) by Joel Henriques, an artist and a father of twins who posts projects on crafts and toys he makes for his kids. Ingenious projects that you can make with your kids too. Just look at the myriad structures you can build with your kids with his slotted building discs. Handy to bring along everywhere.

I like this modern dollhouse including the mini furniture he made for his son - clean lines, contemporary. Inspired for the weekend? Good weekend to you.
