December

A cosy afternoon in December

I wonder, what these two are talking about...?!

Advent Time

We are ready

Enjoy your first advent Sunday. I will, I have a box full of gifts to open in a while.

She gets an A

When I wrote this post, some of you asked me,if if the Amercan student was crafty. She is! While I was making the stuffing for the Thanksgiving turkey, Brittni had so much fun taking pictures.

She's a good student. I have learned her how to knit, we have been cooking, baking, making fabric covered buttons and much more. She will leave us soon, too soon. We still have a lot to catch up with! Just have a look at the pictures - the babushkas are handpainted by Brittni.

 

If you want to see more pictures, you can visit her blog, Beatific..

As you can see, she really deserves an A!

Borgato

On my Saturday trip I passed this inspiring shop. I felt a need to spoil myself and bought pattern and yarn for this bolero by Design.Club.

Not only the shop was inspiring - talking to the shop owner made my day. She told me about these beautiful Aboriginal cushion covers. Each cushion tells a story and the colours are beautiful. We talked about knitting, chrochet, yarn, scarves, blogging and much more. Do you know the feeling, when you meet a really inspiring person..?!

If you happen to pass by, you must visit the shop.

Saturday Life

Today I made a small trip all by myself. I love these small trips on my own.

 

 

Now I'm sitting in the kitchen listening to Christmas music, while it's getting dark out. In fact it's pretty dark in the kitchen too. I love candles.

How is your Saturday....?

  

Where's the Hyacinth...?!

Hyacinth hat made of paper by Blafre Design.

Friday I went to one of my favourite shops in Copenhagen, Garn-Iture.

Retro flowers, japanese fabric and retro owls. You can also get lovely tin boxes from Blafre Design. More pictures here - Garn-Iture blog.

If you haven't visited this lovely shop, you must! If you don't live close to Copenhagen, I'm sure, you can send an email, if you have any enquiries.

Stripy Scarf

I guess, some of you recognize these stripes

The stripes made my day on a very dark November day. You knew that, Karen, thank you.

Now I have two favourite scarves. Lucky me!

Friendships

My friend, Karen has given me an award for being a fantastic blog friend.

Thank you, very much! I wish, I could give you the award too, Karen! Then I would have given this blog friend one too, but she has already got the award.

Instead I have picked these three fantastic bloggers.

Emily, Ravenhill

Kay, Kaylovesvintage 

Hanne, Tulipaner og Tomater

X-mas List-Taker

I can't find my Christmas notebook. Instead of searching for it I decided to make a Christmas List-Taker.

 
 

I'm ready! I hope, I'm not the only one thinking about the up coming Holiday.....

Cheerful Hearts

If you think it's too early to talk about Christmas, stop reading now. This weekend I can feel Christmas and I enjoy it. I have even bought some gifts too. I will try to do as much as possible in November. I hope so.....

I think it's more than 25 years ago, that I sewed a lot of Christmas hearts. This year I have developed the design a bit and made these two hearts.

I hope you enjoy your Sunday as much as I do.
