My hubby is getting a supercute gift, which I secretly finished last week already! Well, the original idea I had in mind, seems to be unworkably. I wanted to scratch our both initials in some wooden bark. but: how do I get the tree inside our house? and: how should I wrap the tree up?! so, at the end I decided to embroider everything, and I am quite happy with the outcome!
But of course I need a supercute valentine’s card as well! at the end I loved 3 cards and could not decide. That’s why I ended up buying all 3 of them and thinking it over: I am gonna use the one with the cats! I like it the most! hope you do agree with my decision?
Ever since I saw this in London as store decoration at Spitalfields market, I knew I wanted to make such a vintage lace curtain for our porch door. The only problem was to get enough lace and doily pieces together. But, Thanx to my lovely colleagues Nina and Christina it did not take very long. In order to make it look vintage, I dyed every cutting or collar individually with black tea. After drying I sewed everything together. You guessed it. I love it.
I actually love it so much so, that I am already wondering how all the other windows would look like with something like this as a curtain.
Do you have any resolutions for the coming year? Mine is to improve my knitting and crochet skills. And I would like to learn French. And I want to finish a real baking book. It’s never too late to try out something new!
It is time to pause, cherishing the old and celebrating the new year. Sending luck to our family and loved ones, bake some fortune cookies to warm the heart of a dear friend. Stepping out in style on New Year’s Eve, wrapped in a cosy huge scarf. 2013 is coming! Cheers to a new year!
It is now only 9 days until Christmas!! And there is still so much to do… I have had no time to do any Christmas Markets, I still need to write my cards, and I haven’t bought any gifts for my family & friends yet!
The one good thing is that I can already listening to Christmas songs….Like my every year favourite Last Christmas and All I want for Christmas is you. And of course Christmas Pop Up tearoom starts today.
My husband’s saturday project is to take pictures of our Christmas decoration in the house. This is one of the 200 pics that he already took. A miniature couple drinking hot wine in a jar. I love it.
