Christmas

The tree is decorated by our children age 11, 13 and 21. Every year I say to myself, that I must have my own little tree to decorate.... Next year perhaps!

They have so much fun decorating the tree and my husband and I enjoy their laugh.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas. Enjoy the holiday.I hope it will be full of joy, love, presents, good food and nice people around you.

I hope to be able to show some creative projects soon.... Beside being in the kitchen the past days I have just decorated napkins.....

21

Finally it's time for Christmas Holiday! I've been longing for that for weeks - 12 days off from work, yes! No more busy day at work this year, now it is time for Christmas.

All presents are bought and ready to give away. Right now there is nothing on the shopping list. The boxes are filled with Christmas cookies. As I've told you earlier in December, not much creative is going on here. Every year ind December I promise myself to beging my creative Christmas plans earlier next year. In 2008 I will do it! Do you like these cute Christmas Stockings...?! I love them! If you take a look at the candle (for a Christmas tree), you can se, that the Stockings are small. Marie-Louise, has made more handmade swap gifts for me. The Stockings, fabric covered buttons and this beautiful box decorated with ribbon. Here you can see moore swap goodies. Thank you so much!

Now I will serve spicy Christmas tea for Olivia, 13, and to of her friends. Perhaps they will like some candy and homebaked cookies. Have a great December friday!

Saint Nick's Stocking

Another Christmas Stocking. This one is made of chocolate brown linen, which I have bought here. I like sewing in this linen and I must admit, that I had to buy other colours too. Light green and light pink.

A very personal gift for a dear friend. I like making Christmas Stockings!!

Endnu en julesok er færdig. En andet udgave end den røde uldne jeg syede forleden. Denne her er styet i hør fra Små Tekstiler. Det hørstof kan jeg kun anbefale! Det kan godt virke lidt stift, men det er holder faconen og er dejligt at sy i. Jeg må tilstå, at der har sneget sig lidt andre fristelser ind på matriklen, fra Små Tekstiler. Hvilket minder mig om, at vi stadig mangler lidt små detaljer på prinsessesengen. Stakkels prinsesse som mangler et sted at sove. Frederikkes opmærksom er lidt svær at fange til færdiggørelsen af projektet, så det venter på det rigtige tidspunkt. Kanten er syet i en rest brokadestof fra søsters rester og lidt blonder fra en lokal biks.

Christmas stuff

Paper box and envelope for Christmas gift wrapping. I like the mix of paper and the vintage tags. The tags are bought here and the red and green vintage paper here. 

The box is made of wall paper bought on sale in a local super market. I found the small silver cross in a gift shop. I like using it for decoration on gift wrapping.

A small but very cosy project. I like to give away a gift with a personal wrapping - at least to those who appreciate it.....

Have a great evening!

Christmas Cones

My girls Christmas stockings in company with two Christmas cones, I have just made.

They are made of wall paper and decorated with ribbon. The cones shine a little because, I have used decoupage vanish. I like that. An easy and fun project - try it! I think I have to make more cones!

You find other inspiring cones here, here, here and here

Merry Christmas Tree

Today my husband gave me this tiny tree from Medusa. I love it! It has been on my wish list for a long time. Thank you! You are so good to me. Medusa has the most wonderful Christmas decoration.

The Christmas Calender is finished - I have to start a new sewing project. In spite of all the inspiration and ideas everywhere, it's difficult to choose! Take a look at this inspiring picture or this one. Perhaps it's time for some knitting! I have a couple of projects on the needles - boring. What about this tree......?!

Time will show. Now it's time to prepare dinner. After that I will hang out with a couple of friends. Enjoy the good company, a cup of coffee, perhaps some knitting and exchanging Christmas gifts.

Have a great Wednesday.

Christmas Calender - FO

Here is my new Christmas Calender made with fabric scraps and some new fabric. The pockets on the calender are small, 5 x 5 cm. I have enjoyed sewing this zakka calender.

Right now it's time to enjoy a cup of tea before going to bed!

WIP Christmas Calender

This calender project is therapy for me! It's the project I needed. Happy monday!

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.
