We hardly bought any new paper or ribbons for this years christmas wrapping!
So this was our selection...
of course I forgot to take pictures of the wrapped gifts... but they looked so good:)
Because I made gift tags as leaves of holly in matching colours to the ribbon...
different greens, blues, and reds:)

Christmas

One year my dad and brother came home with a 7 meter high tree.. That was a bit too high!
So after cutting of a couple of meters, we realised that tree was not so pretty in the branches at that hight - so they had to go and pick a new tree!
That is Christmas at my parents:)

excursion
I have been laying low for some time.. mainly because I have been feeling pretty down.
But this sunday, my parents and I went on a Trip to Aarhus and "Den Gamle by" (The Old City)
It is a museum with old houses from all over Denmark. There is a baker, a tailor and so forth, and because of Christmas there is much more activity there (People dressed in clothes typical of that period- playing residents of the city (1864 - 1927))
I still need to finish 2 Christmas presents.. I should have them done in 4 days...hopefully

My Dreams
To regain my passion for reading
To find the WILL to fight somewhere inside myself! - please be there!
To not want to sleep all day away
To feel healthy and well
To NOT have pains in my body every day!
To have the energy to cook and bake several times a week
I have many more dreams - but they are all further out in the future that these whishes!
And it is crucial for me to first manage these things, before dreaming of bigger things!

new projects..
My two newest projects!
The top picture shows a scarf I am making from leftover yarn
The buttom picture shows a "bacterius" scarf I have started on. The yarn was a advent present from my parents:)
They are both really simple, so they are the sort of work you take with you in the bus and for meetings and such.

1 christmaspresent down:)
A pillowcover I have been working on for some time..
The front of the pillowcover is light purple fabric, with hand sewn flowers made from my stash of pearls ( pink redish).
The trim is dark blue twisted ribbon, and is sewn onto the edge by hand - first time I try it... and you can also see how I have chosen to fix the ends... I think it is okay, wish there was a better way, but I cannot figure it out right now.
The back is striped fabric - as you see.
The pillowcover is closed with pressstuds, and the blue buttons are just for decoration.
Etiketter:
beads,
embroidery,
pillow cover,
sewing

Advendt Calender
Done with the Advendt Calender!
And I think my parents are excited :) wish it was a calender for me, but it is not.. and it would seem rather odd if I had indeed made one for myself!
Though I cannot help but long for one, when I see all of the amacing ideas people some up with!

A part of my mom and dads christmas present this year, from my brother and I, is an Advent Kalender.
So this is the fabric I have bought to wrap the gifts in - 24 pieces.
I am getting a new pair of lamps to hang above my bed. They are made out of brass, but they have this horrible white cord that just ruin the lamps! So instead, I have bought this moss green cord. Way expensive, but hey I have no money - so ehm no worries......
