Crafting is such a lovely thing

I would like to keep adding to a blog in the “Crafts” category, divided into themes such as Halloween, Christmas, Easter and more. A proper craft blog! My son Felix and I really enjoy making things, especially now that the colder season is gradually beginning.

As Halloween is coming up next, we have already been busy making something for it: a lovely Halloween decoration. Take a look…

I think our pumpkin turned out rather well. What do you think? I gave Felix a lovely birthday present: one of the wonderful craft kits from Folia. We have the Jumbo craft kit, also available from amazon.de . We are very pleased with it. It contains great ideas, templates and lots of paper. Highly recommended!

Next up is our real pumpkin, which we want to carve together. Once it is finished, you will find a picture of our creation on this page.

And then the run-up to Christmas begins…

…we also enjoy crafting during this peaceful season. Our next craft post will be about Christmas. We are already looking forward to showing you our creations.

 

Update – 20 October 2016

As I mentioned above, I would like to keep adding to this craft blog. A few days ago, we carved our pumpkin for Halloween.

Here is our creation…

Last year I also bought some carving tools. They work much better than ordinary knives. I can definitely recommend them.

Now Halloween can come… the pumpkin is ready.
