Getting Ready For Christmas

I didn't do to much yet, since I grew up in Europe, we don't have the Christmas tree until Christmas eve. Our Christmas is a little bit different. Santa comes on December 6th with a bag of sweets and Jesus brings the tree and the presents on the 24th. December 25th and 26th are Christmas first and second days. So we have three days of Christmas!
Even it's a little bit different, we are getting ready the same way as American people. Shopping, cooking, decorating our homes.....getting nice candles....just like these, mmmm
I ordered a wonderful candle from etsy, it smells like Christmas tree!!! Even we don't have a tree yet, we have the smell of it!!! I ordered the "Home" one to make our little apartment "homey". It says
"A house is made of wood and stone, but only love can make a home."
I LOVE it!!! Thanks Marla!!!

Recycled Wool Sweater

I shrunk my never-worn pure wool sweater....oops.
So I washed it again, dried it in hot drier and made this bag.

Winners

The November giveaway ended yesterday, and the winners are: Marla and JAN!

New Crochet Patterns Again...

I have 4 new hat designs and mittens too. Patterns and hats are going to be available in my shop soon. I still have to write down the patterns and do the listing part :-) Here are the pictures of them. I think I will keep the first one for myself, I am ready for winter!!!

Watercolor Portrait of a Girl

I used to babysit this little girl. When I saw this photo on her mom's blog, I thought it was a perfect picture for a watercolor portrait, so I gave it a try.

Where the Pom Pom Goes..

How To Make a Pom Pom

Edna Necklace

Just a Flower

Anna Hat and Scarf

Pink and Brown

Still Halloween...

I made some scarfs, these are my favorite projects, because I can finish them before I start something else. I tend to start something, then start something else, and start another project...without finishing anything. Hm. Scarfs are fast projects, perfect for me.

Baby Halloween

I have been featured

Thanks for Tess who has a very nice blog. It's all about recycling, vintage and handmade goodies. She used one of my pictures from my Etsy store for her "back to school in ECO style collection" http://www.artsyrubbish.com/2009/08/back-to-school-in-eco-style.html

Please check out her Etsy Store: yellowdogvintage

Baby Sandals

I found this picture online with a pattern, which I still have to figure out...I have been thinking and trying for three days now....I just HAVE TO make a pair...

Baby Shower

I went to a baby shower this weekend, and I made this fruit basket for the guests.

Birthdays

I turned 30 recently ... My sister sent me a beautiful handmade necklace (first I thought it was a headband and later she told me it was a necklace) and a matching bracelet. A guy made it especially for me....
Her birthday is coming up too, so I made a bracelet for her, it's already on the way to Europe in a little red envelope :-)

At the local park

We went to the park this weekend, and we took pictures of my new creations. And of my fishing husband :-)
