A few more pictures of the dollhouse toilet.
Today I've done no working on the house, but I did start to make a "money robot" with TeeBee.
It was his short day at daycare today.
And while I was at the dentists he had to stay at his dad's work, and he was so sweet and good behaved that one of my husband's coworkers gave him a "tip"! For that tip he wanted to buy himself a special yoghurt, and then he got some coins back and didn't wanna put them in his piggy bank so I suggested we should build a money robot. So we did!
It's not completely done, but it can eat money and the money ends up in his tummy just like TeeBee wanted. We have only the legs and the eyes left for tomorrow.
I'll take a picture of it in the morning, it turned out very well! it's made out of an After Eight box, a fluidliner box, paper and steel wire and some decorations.
It's so fun having kids and do this sort of things :)
In my mind I live in a wonderful, scary castle filled with amazing designed goth items (instead of this white, white and white apartment mostly designed to carry as much stuff in the smallest area possible).
In my "mind home" this lamp will have a certain place.
Sure, a "bit" costly, but to my fortune, my mind home also carries a huge "mind account".
I love this idea! I'm not a huge octupus fan in general, but this I just can't resist!
It got all of it's 8 arms wrapped around me!
I did a root filling before Christmas. Last night I went nuts (well, HAD nuts to be correct - can't become something you already are ).
Filling fell out. Must see the dentist today.
One thing dentists do really well is smudging your make up. So on "dentist days" I'm not that particular with my make up.
Still, like to wear much but I focus on waterproof and non smudging make up.
This is today's dental make up. Lipstick are less clever to use (been making out, have we?) so I just put some on my finger and colorize carefully, or use the kids permanent lipstick.
I'll have to do an "after" shoot to show you.
Haha, I often ask them to put paper on my head as well to not be sprayed with water. I think they think I'm a bit on the crazy side...and I know they are right.
This is how the two beds turned out:
I made a small mattress for them today as well. How I wish I could shrink and try one out. But they aren't comfy I suppose. I'm used to a soft, poofy princess mattress myself.
And the toilet is slowly getting there... Today the kids wanted me to make a small round pool for the outside as well...
"-Hi, kids, I'm your mom, and my life is only about pleasing you."
Nah, the truth is I love making things like this with, and for, them. When they are not home I play myself :)
Computer games? Never! Playing with dollhouses and making fun games about pee, with the kids - that's my kind of fun! I'll tell you about that pee game some other time!
This thing, dollhouse decorating, would very much be the best thing ever!
I have seen some real pro people out there that makes a dollhouse so real, it's fantastic!
I'm still but an amateur but I enjoy myself and the kids are so happy with the progress. After all, it's to be played with, not stand and collect dust.
I just made Synthias blue bed and will now make Fairlight's pink bed.
I just took a picture of the web, transformed it a bit in Photoshop, printed and glued on both sides of an old ice cream carton for stability and put together. For legs I used the stick from the ice cream, painted white and glued them on with my glue gun.
Ta daa! One bed made!
It's getting tested right now for playing, and so far, so good.
I'm guessing this is getting a bit boring since I always look more or less the same, but I will continue to show my daily make up every once in a while anyway!
Close up.
Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft, D.A.F., have a few of the best electro tunes according to me.
I must admit I know very little of them, mainly because their appearence didn't shake my tree - and I AM that shallow! (just ask my husband; who I'm only with because I think he is sooo pretty and handsome), but I have caught them live on several occations in the 90's and forward.
It's another German band, from Düsseldorf.
Germans sure know how to make electro!
Wanna know more? Here's the Wiki on them.
Their biggest hit all around must be Der Mussolini. A song that will fill any electro dancefloor within 2 seconds.
(I take no political stands on my music - to me it's just music. You can't take everything too serious according to me. What the hell, my lyrics is about shooting and dismember people, and that's not something I "support" either ;))
The first song I ever heard of them was Brothers. I remember me and my friends were in love with the lyrics.
Then we have my ABSOLUTE favorite!
Kebab-Träume.
This song have been on my top 20 list since the first time I heard it. I can never get enough!
I hope this appeals to you as well!
I do think I must add this lovely, and bit annoying tune as well;
Der Räuber und der Prinz.
At least they made an effort to make a somewhat interesting video to this one...
This Christmas card was a bit different than the ones we usually hand out.
I like putting people in jars so this turned out pretty okay. I just wished I have had more than one hour to make them...
They could have been so much better.
Only a few selected relatives got this "de luxe" version, the rest got a similar paper version.
My poor Fairlight and TeeBee is sick :(
Fairlight's got nettle-rash all over her body. She says she looks like a leopard.
It's some allergic reaction to something we don't know. But doctor's gave her some medicine and salve to make it better.
But I will probably be a bitch mom and nag until she gets an allergy test.
TeeBee is suffering from high fever and complains about having a sore throat.
At daycare they told me both scarlet fever, impetigo and strep throat are going around amongst the kids right now... poor TB.
When I called the doctor they said to wait until tomorrow to come see them if he still suffered from a sore throat then.
So today: much cuddling, movies and goth mommy was sweet and made the kids small pancakes for dinner. A pamper mom, I know, but it's awful seeing them sick and not being able to help.
Small pancakes helps a bit :)
Tomorrow Iwill be serving them another favourite just to spoil them even more: turnip mash and pork sausage. Whiiii, I'm the best mom there is!!!
Today's look was inspired by the lovely Veronica Lake.
Of course I'm nowhere near her beauty but I feel glamourous anyway!
I'll be at a dinner party with 6 "adults" and 7 kids. Lord of the flies might occur! if you do not hear anything from me tomorrow , that's what happened... (not hangover since I will not drink anything with alcohol).
I wish you all a fantastic evening and may 2012 be the best year ever! 2012 all your dreams will come true <3
Thank you all for making this such a special year. Hugs all around!
My promise to you: to be hell of a lot better at blogging....I've really been a slow fucker lately and been super busy elsewhere. That's not nice to all of you who give me so much positive feedback...
