That's why I made various mobiles to hang up all over the place.
At first I made a sweet birdie mobile. He loves it:
Then I got a little more ambitious and made a whole forest mobile for the babies room. We haven't tried it out because the crib isn't ready yet and I want to hang it above it. But I worked many hours to make the animals and some of them look really cute:
Then I thought that a little mobile above the changing table would be nice. So I made a really fast butterfly mobile which the baby loves. After waking up in the morning he really is as merry as a lark when he sees his beloved butterflies:
And a few weeks ago I read that babies can only appreciate light and dark contrasts at first. So I made a very, very simple mobile with what I call coloured fried eggs ;-) He loves this mobile, too.
But I really have to say that he is fascinated by any mobile. It's really satisfying to make mobiles for this baby! Perhaps there will follow some more ;-)
Today started the advent season. It's a wonderful time in Germany. Everywhere you can see the christmas lights, folks are baking christmas cookies with many different spices, there are christmas markets with spiced hot wine and everyone is decorating his home. Traditionally we arrange an advent wreath with four candles on it - for each advent sunday one. But lately there are many variations of it.
Below you'll see some of my advent decorations. I tried to keep it natural and simple this year. I hope you like it.
But before I wanna show you a pincushion that I made for my niece yesterday. She turned eight and got a kids sewing machine from her grandma, so I made a sewing accessories package for her and the pincushion was a part of it.
