I find this chicken egg family really cute – and it seems that they aren’t very difficult to make.
And it’s more appropriate at Easter than a swan oder penguins ;-)

The older among us can remember more or less well the Macrame owls from the past – wasn’t it time to fetch them back?

Something different this time: make 3D photos without paying too much.
That’s fine, isn’t it? ;-)

Once I had the Kaleidocycles book from M.C.Escher and I even folded some of the kaleidocycles, but then I never thought about it any more.
Until I found the page where you can let make kaleidocycles from your own potos.
If you want to see a kaleidocycle in action, look at the M.C.Escher Kaleidocycles the middle picture.
Or look at one of the videos in internet.
You can also read more about kaleidocycles or simply look at photos of them.
But best is making one yourself and to ‘spin round’ ;-))

Well, one day I wanted to have a rage ball – a soft ball that I can bash hard against a wall without doing any damage.
I never had to use my knitted ball this way, but at least I know now how to knit it ;-))
If you feel this would be too easy for you, try the lace balls ;-)

These leaves are a kind of Peyote leaves and they are called ‘Russian St. Petersburg leaves’.
She made the tutorial because she didn’t find any – I find that great!
Ehm, I did find another tutorial (just in case) ;-)
If the leaves are called ‘Russian St. Petersburg leaves’ then I think that they are supposed to be made for the St.Petersburg necklace – that stands to reason, doesn’t it? In any case they would match wonderfully.

Hmm, it’s quite a long time since I last ate homemade potato chips, I do have to make them again ;-)
The fine thing about the microwave potato chips is that they are prepared without fat – not to sneeze at with my physique ;-)
I like them nevertheless when well seasoned (I’m using salt and paprika – I’m a purist ;-))
Personally I prefer the potato slices to be a tad thicker, but that’s a pure matter of taste.
I suggest: try it yourself ;-)

No, no, they didn’t turn the photo upside down here, it’s the whole bookshelf that’s inverted!
Great idea, isn’t it?
By the way, when writing about recycling books I put a link to an invisible bookshelf, you may like it still better (somehow I can’t decide ;-)).
