the two Christmas trees

Finally there was enough daylight to take pictures of them!
This one is in the living room together with this little arrangement. I have put newspaper in the pot so that the little accident from yesterday won't happen again!

Here's the other tree. This one is upstairs and I can see this one from my desk! I have put some nice red felt fabric in this one. just to be on the safe side...

Are your Christmas decorating coming along?

New Christmas placemats

I got the inspiration for these from my new Japanese craft magazine Cottontime. There was one in pretty pastel colours. I love that you can make these from fabric scraps from you stash. I gave a pair to my mother (the two above) and kept to for us:

Too bad I can't use them after Christmas...

Yes, I'm starting to think about Christmas and the Christmas decorating. Since we are not going to celebrate Christmas in the usual way here in Sweden. (No we are going to be in Malaysia for Christmas and new years) I thought I'd start planing and making a little sooner that I usably do. So this year I want to make some of these soft trees that littlebirds makes. She gave out a free pattern last December and I didn't have time to make it then, but I have now!

These pictures are from the flickr group soft trees!
