Ho, ho, ho

Let's get some Christmas fun - it's December tomorrow.

Rocking around....

....the Christmas tree!

Todays project is this small linen tree. I like to mix crazy decorations with the traditional Christmas decorations.

I'm tired and I can't find the right words today! I will make some dinner, sit by the fire and knit. Perhaps drink some Christmas tea. Have a nice evening.

 

My own Christmas stocking

 

An early Christmas gift from my dear friend, Marie-Louise. She has made the Christmas stocking herself and I love it. I have wanted my own for years, but I've never got one. Now I'm just waiting for Santa Claus to visit our house. She gave me the cutest mushroom ornament too.

Thank you so much!

Barefoot Roses by Free Spirit

Even the name is romantic! The fabric is more romantic. I have swapped the fabric with Linda and I'm going to mix it with some linen.

Not much creative is going on here... I'm way to busy at work - which I hate to be - and beside that, I have a cold.

I have two more swap parcels to finish before the weekend is over. I like that! One of the parcels is for a dear friend, who lives close to me and the other one is going to France. To Provence - a place I love very much!

Purple and Orange Coasters

 

This is great! I'm hooked! This is my first set of log cabin coasters. Crazy log cabin has been on my to-do list for years! Thank you, Malka, for your inspiration and "permission" to use your idea.

That's all for now - I have to make more coasters, pillows and...... Perhaps a Christmas gift or two! Happy Sunday!

Thank you, dear Helle, for giving me the You make me smile - award.

Patchwork Sewing Basket

A scrabby log cabin basket made with fabric from stash. I think it is a delayed October project. Finally I tried to make crazy log cabin! It is not the last time. I'm so inspired by A Stitch in Dye, who makes the most beautiful log cabin. A very talented crafter.

You find the tutorial for the Sewing Basket here. It is a very easy project and I think the Basket is a great gift. Make one in some colourful childish fabric for your childrens room. The button is made of glass and it is from my collection of vintage buttons.

Christmas Hearts

A heart for every taste. I think I will use them as hostess gifts together with some homebaked cookies. Perhaps I will decorate the giftwrapping with a hearts.

It's a great project to make with your children! Go looking in your stash and find some colourful fabric and buttons, ribbon og beads to decorate with. Perhaps some stitching!

The Winner is.....

Normally I don't win anything - but yesterday I was lucky!I'm looking forward to receiving these beautiful cards from Seed Prints. Thank you, Esther for making the Card Giveaway and thank you, Livvy, for picking my number!

Today was a lucky day too. I received this swap package from another blog friend, Magda. What a great package! When I receive a package from time to time, I feel so lucky to have friends around the world, who really want to spoil me. I love cupcakes - take a look at this one made by Magda. It looks delicious!

More pictures here. Enjoy the handmade ribbon, stamps and tags from Craft Pudding.

By the way - have you visited Sweet Paul.....?! If not you must do it. Beautiful pictures.

Rossil design

      

A couple of pictures from the winter collection by Rossil - my sisters design. I love her dresses so much and I think it is time for a new one - or perhaps two!

This one was my Christmas dress last year. It's so difficult to choose between all these beautiful dresses.

Her ser i et par kjoler fra vinter kollektionen hos Rossil, min søsters design. Tiden er ved at være inde til en ny kjole eller to - her ser i julekjolen fra sidste år. Den er blevet flittigt brugt!

Skulle din vej falde forbi Hillerød eller omegn den 2. december, er der åbent hus i Rossils hyggelige systue. Jeg vil også være der og holde søster med selskab.

It's a secret.....

It is a needle case and it's a Christmas present for a creative woman, who needs to tidy up her knitting needles, She loves to knit and I hope she likes the present. I think I will buy her some new needles too! You can take a look inside here.

I'm so satisfied with the three handmade christmas present, I've made so far. I hope to make just a few more, maybe....

If you want to make some handmade presents take a look here. A new idea or turorial each day in November!
