Fairy lights

Today we have been packing away our Christmas decorations. “Oh no!” screamed my daughter when we started to ”undress” the tree. I want it to be cozy! And she is right, much of the coziness disappears when the holidays are over. But in our daughters and our bedroom we have ”fairy lights” a little bit longer, at least until springtime when it’s going to be brighter evenings.

Merry Christmas!

Today I have been wrapping Christmas gifts and tried to keep my daughter away from them…
Have a Merry Christmas! See you in a couple of days!

The sun was shining today!!

Today I was out in our little forest we have on our lot. Luckily we have some spruce trees there. So the material for decorations are not far away… I took some branches and put them in an old container for soft soap. I think it smells so good! And some mushrooms of course… :-) For the front door I took some decorations that I usually have in the Christmas tree.
And the sun was shining, it couldn’t be a better day!

Red ribbons

It don’t have to cost a fortune to decorate your home for Christmas. I use ribbons on a lot of things. An easy and inexpensive way to get a little bit of Christmas spirit!

Advent 2nd

Today I have ironing curtains and tablecloths for hours. Decorating for Christmas is so fun! I love the advent candlestick! It is needed to have lots of lights and candles this time of year!

Christmas Tags

I've updated my shop with a set of 5 Christmas Tags.

Here are some lovely tags for your Holiday gifts or maybe your scrapbook pages. Or why not put them in an envelope and send them as a Christmas card? The back is blank so you can write your own message. The Christmas stocking is printed professionally and around the edges of the print is some beautiful and very sparkly glitter!
I have attached a white and red ribbon to the tags.
The tags are 6 x12 cm (2,3 x 4,7 inch).
Will be shipped in cello and a protective sleeve.

Merry Christmas!

Finally I’m out on the Internet again! It took a bit longer to get the Internet connection up and running than we had expected.

Here are some photos from what we call the “middle room” in our new house, simply because it’s located in the middle of the house.

The last day of Christmas

Today it is in Sweden something we call “Tjugondedag Knut”. It is 20 days after Christmas and we dance the Christmas out. We take away all the Christmas decorations and dance around the Christmas tree and eat candy.

Wrapping

I’ve started wrapping all the Christmas gifts. But I don’t think they look so good… Does anyone of you have some tips or links to share of how to make beautiful or cool wrappings?

Tomorrow we are going to decorate the Christmas tree, yippy!

Gingerbread biscuits

Last week we baked gingerbread biscuits. It’s one of my favourite Christmas sweets. We had some glögg (mulled wine or hot wine punch) to the gingerbread. Yummy!

Have a nice week and don’t stress too much! Take it easy and take care!

I’ve sent them!

All the Christmas cards have been sent, and I hope they arrive before Christmas. I’m always very late with these things. And you who expect a Christmas card from me; act surprised!!

Christmas Card

I’ve done a Christmas card in a shape of a tag. I’m obsessed with tags ;-)
The stocking have I painted with watercolors and the text (Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year) is done in Photoshop.

At the blog Lantliv i stan (Country life in the city) it is right now a challenge to show your Christmas cards.

Decorating for Christmas

I’ve been so busy so I don’t have enough time for Christmas decorating! But now I’ve started. It’s just a little candle and a Mrs Santa Claus so far… More pictures to come!

The Christmas market

This weekend I was selling my stuff at the Christmas market. On Saturday it was +10 degrees and the rain was pouring down. It was very few people that visited, but who can blame them? It wasn’t exactly what you call “Christmas spirit”…

On Sunday the weather was a bit better and I think I saw the sun for a little glimpse. It was many people at the Christmas market but no one was buying… Of course I got a few things sold but it wasn’t the quantity I’ve expected. It was fun to try it, but I don’t know if I will do it again. “Don’t give up, you have beautiful things!” one of the other crafters said to me. “Next time you maybe sell all of your things.” Maybe she is right, time will tell. I maybe set up a blog shop with the stuff that I didn’t get sold…
