Dino Project!

My son Ferdi is almost 14 years old and is not into mini's
at all,haha! But something changed over night? He decided
to make his own summer project...A Dino Museum!



He asked me if I could help him with this project and
as I am his mom I was gladly to help him.
We Googled some inspirational foto's and started to make
a showcase for in the Museum. A box with a glass window
we used,was his own collection box,were he kept all his
treasures in he gadered over the years.
All the treasures will be used in his Museum project.






Here he is cutting egg carton to make a brick wall.

Today we went to a Museum to see some real

stuff for inspiration,Naturalis in Leiden.

This was not our first visit and I know for sure

that it is not the last,haha!

He bought a dig up dino to use in his museum,

he already had one but that is not enough for a

Museum....

The show case for so far... at the wall he will put a print

off the Deinonychus when he lived.

One of his treasures he found at our last visit to Normandië.

We sent an email to Naturalis if they could tell us more off this

fossil? They sent him this massage......

Beste Ferdi,

Mooie vondst, hoor!

Het is zeker een fossiele zee-egel, zo te zien van het

geslacht Micraster. De zee-egel is hartvormig, en de

vijfstralige lijntjes liggen vrij diep. Het lijkt er op dat

het fossiel is bewaard in vuursteen. De vondst toont
veel gelijkenis met soorten als Micraster breviporus

en Micraster coranguinum.

Vergelijkbare fossielen zijn ongeveer 65 tot 100

miljoen jaar oud (Boven-Krijt).

Some New Kitchen Stuff !

This picture I googled was my inspiration
for making some new mini kitchen stuff.






All the mini's together.....
The basket I made with the materials Sylvia
gave to me at her last visit.



The wooden scoop I cut them myself.

Inspired by Josje,I made a salt cellar.

I used only metal to make it....

I'm working on a new project,these are the

mini's I will use for it so far.

Kitchen Chaircase!

Some time ago we had a Kladblog meeting,
we did a swap with workshops.

Lisette had made a kit to build a kitchen
chaircase,and the fun part of it is, that it
acctually works.

Sylvia!

As some of you know, Sylvia came to visit me.We had the
most wonderful day and I wanted to share the beautiful
gifts she brought with her!

Yes, I know.....!!!!!!!!

I still can't beleive I own this piece of art!!!

She also made me these wonderful flowers... soon to

be plant at the flowerborder in the little garden.

This beautiful basket came along with the flowers

and has taken his place in the store...

The basket is used to collect the old wood I found

at the beach.

She also brought me a lot of materials to make mini's...it was

to much...!!!

I had a great time,thank you Sylvia!!!!!
