Something pretty in the mail!

On my way home from the library today I though of what I should post about this afternoon. The days here are so dark that I can hardly take pictures of the new things I'm making and they're not quite finished yet anyway. But when I steeped inside there on my doormat was this little brown envelope all the way from Japan! Can you believe it, I ordered a fat quarter from this shop a week ago and it has already arrived here!

This pretty fat quarter (50 x 55 cm) with little babushkas all over was only 5 $ and if you head over to Matatabi.etsy.com you'll see ever more pretty fabrics!

Christmas decorations

I'm slowly getting the place more decorated for Christmas. This time I'm going to show you something I also bought in Copenhagen. I thought they looked so pretty and that I would try to make something similar next time I have time with the sewing machine. But now it seems like there won't be time until next year...

The second Sunday in December

Yet another weekend is over and we haven't been at home. This month goes by so fast! In a week we'll get our new place and start renovating. My feeling about that is sort of ambivalent, it's going to be so much fun planing the whole apartment but it's also going to be hard and messy and a lots of work! But I don't want to think about that now, I'd rather look at this little pretty house I got last weekend in Copenhagen!

Tow angels (not made by me) some mushrooms and a little house with a candle in it, happy second Sunday in December!

Time for Christmas crafts?

This still life needs something more Christmas feeling. I'm thinking something like this. To bad that we are going away this weekend as well and I won't have time to craft. Maybe next week. But if you have some time over this weekend to do some Christmas crafting here's some others nifty peoples ideas:
A cute owl garland?
Or some handmade notebooks to give away?
How about some paper snowflakes for the tree or as greeting cards?
Here's another idea for a little Christmas tree.

Have a great weekend!

An excuse to post...

As the faithful blogger I am, I'm still posting even though I should be writing on my thesis...No, I'm using blogging as an excuse not to write. Anyway, I would like to show you my latest ATC's made on the Christmas and winter theme.

To bad Picasa crops the pictures so bad but as always you can go to my flickr to see them all in their right size.

Have a great day!
