The Story Behind The Picture

The Story Behind The Picture!
Who, where, when, why e.t.c.
Ok, you can laugh as much
as you want to!

Η ιστορία πίσω από την φωτογραφία!
 Ποιός, πού, πότε, γιατί κ.τ.λ.
Οκ, μπορείτε να γελάσετε
όσο θέλετε!
Who: Me, my siblings and my grandfather
from the side of my mom.
Where: On our unfinished backyard.
When: Easter, of course, maybe 1986.
Why: Because it was a special occasion, we were all dressed up and we looked like triplets
(all wearing the same color scheme)

This photo is so funny! My mother used to dress us up with similar colors and now that I'm looking back at it, it seems so funny! My sister was afraid of the lamb and she's kind of forced to be in this picture (me and my grandfather are holding her by the hand), that's why she's crying! hahahaha Surely a memory that needed to be captured on film! ;-)

Ποιός: Εγώ, τα αδέρφια μου και ο παππούς μου
(από την μεριά της μαμάς μου).
Πού: Στην μισοτελειωμένη πίσω αυλή μας.
Πότε: Πάσχα φυσικά, ίσως του 1986.
Γιατί: Γιατί ήταν ειδική περίσταση, φορούσαμε τα καλά μας και μοιάζαμε σαν τρίδυμα
(φορούσαμε όλοι την ίδια γκάμα χρωμάτων).


Αυτή η φωτογραφία είναι τόσο αστεία! Η μαμά μου συνήθιζε να μας ντύνει με παρόμοια χρώματα και τώρα που το βλέπω μου φαίνεται τόσο αστείο! Η αδερφή μου φοβόταν το αρνί και φωτογραφήθηκε κατά κάποιο τρόπο με το ζόρι (εγώ και ο παππούς μου την κρατάμε από το χέρι), γι'αυτό και κλαίει! χαχαχα Σίγουρα μια ανάμνηση που έπρεπε να αποτυπωθεί σε φιλμ! ;-)

Felt Bunny Hair Clip

το μικρό, χαριτωμένο τσιμπιδάκι;

Καλό Πάσχα σε όλους! :-)

Well, it seems that Kami has deleted her blog,
so I'm posting my tutorial here:


Today I want to show you how to make
this cute little Felt Bunny Hair Clip. 
A great gift for Easter!
The materials that you're going to need are:
  • A template. You can make it in any form that you like. I've made some that look like bunnies and one as a duck.
  • Pieces of felt in any color you prefer. You can also use scraps because you won't need a big piece anyway.
  • Yarn or thread and needle.
  • Metallic hair clips
  • Polyfill or even cotton balls
  • Ribbon in a different or matching color.
  • Hot glue gun, for making things quicker.
First of all, fold the piece of felt or use two pieces of scrap
and pin your template in place.
Carefully cut around the design.
Now you'll have 2 identical pieces.

Take the top one and start embellishing it
with anything you like,
beads, sequins, buttons, whatever you have laying around.

With some thread you can also stitch the nose and the mouth.
When you're done, pin the two pieces together so
that they'll stay in place as you stitch them together.
Blanket stitch around your bunny.
Before you reach the end, start filling it up
with polyfill or cotton balls.
You can use a chopstick, the back of a pencil 
or even a paper clip so that you can push the filling to the edges.
Finish it up!
Now, for the hair clip all you need is a simple metallic hair clip
and some ribbon in any color you prefer.
The good thing about this project is that you can
"play" with colors and make any combination that you like.
It's up to you!
With your hot glue gun, start from the inner bottom
of the hair clip and start  gluing the ribbon as you go.
You want to cover the whole hair clip around
so that the edges of the ribbon start and end inside.
Put some glue on top of the hair clip and
secure your bunny in place.
Your new Felt Bunny Hair Clip is ready to be worn!
You can make as many as you want to
and give them as gifts to little ones,
add them in their Easter baskets or even organize 
a Easter Hair Clip "Treasure Hunt" with
hidden little creatures all over the place!

I hope that you enjoyed my little tutorial and
if you make anything like this I'd love to see it!

Anzouya's Weekly Crafting Theme - No 10

After a week's absence I'm here again, hopefully, to stay!
Last week was a disaster! It even rained a couple of days!
The only good thing was that on Tueasday my sister came from Berlin but she's leaving tomorrow again. :-(
Enough with the misery... let's return to our point!

Μετά από μια εβδομάδα απουσίας εδώ είμαι πάλι,
και ελπίζω να μείνω!
Η περασμένη εβδομάδα ήταν καταστροφή!
Έβρεχε και 1-2 μέρες!
Το μόνο καλό ήταν ότι την Τρίτη ήρθε η αδερφή μου από το Βερολίνο αλλά αύριο φεύγει πάλι. :-(
Αρκετά με την μιζέρια... ας επιστρέψουμε στο θέμα μας!

Unfortunately, this week I haven't manage to make anything, so I'll show you just what was uploaded anyway to the
