I was thinking I would spray paint my project but I started to get impatient and figured I could paint it the other way too. It might never stop snowing and raining enough to be able to go outside and spray paint. And I want to see what it will look like :). Impatient :).

Moment of truth
I am glueing the mirror to the sticks, the moment of truth! Once I laid down all the glue I remembered I need to spray paint...but I am deciding now that it was good to glue the mirror down first to make sure it worked. Yeah. That's it. Sure. I can cover it to spray paint later. That was the plan all along. Yep.

It's a zoo!
I finally got the magnets stuck to my slaughtered animals! Which led to slaughtered animals stuck to the fridge! Very exciting :). Some of you may remember the blog post ages ago concerning the slaughter. Well here is the final result. I think they are great! I am tempted to go back for the pack of dinosaurs as well....

Ninja star?
Nope. I am making my very own sunburst mirror out of plant sticks, cardboard, and a cheap round mirror. I wanted one for over my bed but even the small ones are insanely expensive. And for over the bed I need a bigger one. This one will probably only end up costing me a couple hundred crowns. I think I am off to a pretty good start, but I let you know how it ends :). Need to get the kitties to stop trying to play with the sticks.
Our blanket
When I went to wash my blanket I got two furious glares from my little babies. Needless to say I showed them who is the boss in this crackpot little family. Yeah. I ended up washing that blanket like three days later....after they had moved....at least I know I am not the boss right?
Hello Stockholm
Since the one who makes me smile a lot lives in Stockholm I have, of course, been spending a lot of time in Stockholm. It really is a pretty city. This is my favorite part, Gamla Stan.
Best invention
Since I have gotten a few people addicted to Hand and Foot (including the one who makes me smile a lot) there has been a lot of card shuffling in my life. I finally broke down and got a card shuffler. And it is great :). Still do some the old fashioned way, but this makes it easier on the hands!
Real Chinese food
Baby Mia had her one month old day and some of us were invited to dinner to celebrate. It was really nice and I got to meet Xue's mom and grandma. It was kind of cool that there were four generations there all together. And they made a huge feast of wonderful food for us. It was so yummy!!! And I am getting better at the whole chopstick thing :). Have not flung food on anyone recently. That I know of....
Hot chocolate mountain
Not sure if it was possible, but I did manage to get the whipped cream in. But I had to eat the marshmallows right away. Darn :).
Pretty bedspread
I finally got to use one of my vintage finds. I fell in love with these bright chenille bedspreads from like the fifties and sixties. I have this one with two peacocks and another one with lots of bright flowers. I love them :).
Kitty Camp
The one who makes me smile a lot was visiting last weekend so the kitties had to go away to Kitty Camp at Uncle Jimmie's house. The one who makes me smile a lot is allergic to my babies :(. They totally had fun invading Siri's territory though lol.
