I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful, productive and Happy New Year !!!

Pakjesavond.

As promised. The gifts for our family by Sinterklaas.

My daughter draw a lot with my name. Because I like to do projects 1:12 she gave me a lot of little wrapped in Sinterklaas paper presents. Wood and paper inside the paper.

My sons girlfriend bought me a little birdhouse. She didn't know I had a birdhouse for my son also.

I draw my son. They're looking for an apartment but that's hard to find in 's-Hertogenbosch. So my surprise was.....a birdhouse. It was to small for my self made items. I put them in the shoe box.

A little kitchen with view. St. Jan's cathedral.

I used a pushpin for the top of the coke bottle.

Fimo clay for the coke and cap.

I used the microwave for the Fimo. 1000 Watt for 2 seconds. You put your bottle in a microwave dish filled with water. Then you put it in the microwave.

Bottle is not perfect but for this project good enough.

For the jar I normally use spar. But this was from a broken pencil. That was made of cork. As cover a thumbtack. Just paint and you're ready.

The dishes I also made of Fimo as well as the food. This is the first time a made food with Fimo clay.  I used the blog of :

Her video explanation tells exactly what to do. The sink is a painted cap. The tap is painted plastic wire with little pearls on both side. Counter is also Fimo clay.

So far Sinterklaasavond and the self made presents. 

I like to try this. But first I need permission from my husband. When I make a mistake he's the first one in line to solve the problem. And yes...I do create all kind of problems with my little projects. I'm an impulsive person. So that brings me in situations I could avoid. Have a nice weekend to you all.
