O que fazer com os potinhos de papinha?

Que tal potinhos bonitinhos para guardar temperos?! Sempre guardava os potinhos na esperança de um dia ter uma ideia genial do que fazer com eles. E sempre me irritava que para achar um tempero eu tinha que tirar todos os potes e saquinhos do armário para achar o dito cujo.

Problema resolvido!

Pintei as tampas com tinta preta - assim que eu lembrar de comprar giz de lousa, posso escrever na tampa o nome do tempero. Por enquanto, fica na tirinha de papel.
Agora é só guardar na gaveta, e fica bem mais fácil achar os temperos, e mais ainda de manter a gaveta organizada!

Quem quiser algo diferente pode também pintar as tampas de alguma outra cor, algo mais colorido por exemplo e ai usar uma caneta permanente para anotar o nome do tempero na tampa. Isso também é otimo para guardar saquinhos de sazon e temperos do tipo (nos potinhos maiores) e também cubinhos de caldo knorr!

Esse foi um projetinho super rápido, coisa de uma tarde. Afinal é só limpar bem os frascos e as tampas, deixar secar e pintar a tampa!

Thomas' Room (and weekly menu report)

As I mentioned a while ago, I've been working on a few things for Thomas' room. I've been wanting to give it a big boy look for a while now but after a failed attempt at one of the things I wanted to make I set it all to the side and never got back to it. But now, with the nesting instincts boiling inside me, I've decided to finish off Thomas' room before I started on anything for the babies.

This is my color scheme:

The colors may seems a little brighter then in reality, but I did want to go with something more colorful and bright (yellow and white are also sort of part of it but in minor details). My initial theme was something with starts and planets and robots. But then I realized a more neutral theme that could grow with him and fit with anything interests he develops later would be better. So I just picked the color scheme and decided to stay with stars as a side note sort of detail.

I made the pillow Thomas is laying on. He loves it and especially loves all the stars.

So here is a sneak peak at a few things I've been working on. It's still not done. I still have a curtain to make, a new bed-skirt, a few other decor things, a toy box and I also wanted to make a quilt for him (we'll see how that goes, my first attempt at it ended up in the dumpster).

There is a lot more... but I'll wait for the grand reveal once it's all done and his new room is all set up.
I plan on being done with everything before the end of April. So that then I can get going on all the cute things I have planned for the twins... which will include butterflies and this color scheme:

Cute hum?!!?!?
(the green looks really bright, but it won't be this bright, don't' worry)

Mission :: Weekly Menu
Day 1

Success! Everything was way way fast to make, I had it all ready for when Johan got home and we were able to sit down for dinner with no drama at all!
I'm extremely please with how it all turned out.

For the Rosemary Beef Kabobs I followed this recipe from Recipes by Britta and it was delicious. I paired it with a ceaser salad (for which I made the dressing and the recipe is here) and some potatoes chopped up tossed in olive oil, salt, parsley and bacon ( recipe to come). Way good!!!

so many ideas...

and I have all the time in the world! The only thing is... where do I start?!

We're moving in about a month. I love moving, weird I know, but I do. It's a new start, a new place and best of new - new decor!!! So considering the fact that I will have a colored wall in my new place, Thomas gets a big boy room(which has been a work in progress since he turned 1 but will finally be concluded) and there is a new nursery to take care of...

Spring Fever Throw Pillow
Toilet Paper Roll Wall Art
Planet Looking Mobile Thing
Frame Your Silver
Ribbon Frames
Ribbon Flowers
Growth Chart (make 3!)
Shell Topiary
Quiet books
Necklace Organizer
Headboard
Stars and Planets Mobile
Framed Initial
Ribbon Lamp
Project Display Board

... and that's only a few of them. I have about 5 pages on my journal of sketches and ideas/stuff that I want to make. And let's not forget all the burp cloths, blankets, and other cute baby things that my fingers are itching to make as soon as color are defined (as in blue vs. pink... even though I'm pretty pink wins).

So... let me stop talking and get to work!
