While we were on vacation last week, wonderful elves started working on the Christmas decoration at our house. However, they seem to have been so busy that the head elf totally forgot to take the new special elf shoes that I made for them to say ‚Thank You‘.
My friend Julia and I were in London a couple of days in order to prepare ourselves for the upcoming Christmas season where even the smallest things need to be wrapped up in style. Reason enough to stock-up my masking tape collection and adding lot´s of Christmas themed tapes.
I have to say, knitted mug cozies seem to be everywhere and you just gotta love them. I even do not care if they are spelled mug cozy or mug cosy. This fall and winter I don`t drink coffee from a ’naked‘ cup. Well, making them is another story. You need to know some serious knitting in order for them to look nice.
Luckily I have friends, and Marius was able to do those beautiful crochet roses that I simple had to attach to my basic cozies. Thank You Marius, these are my favorites.
Normally I am really not into traditions, but every year when it comes to autumn season, and I see all the pumkins on the fields, I need to do three things:
The pumpkin pie, of course! it is already eaten, slurp!
The pumpkin soup, I like it with some cranberries on the side, yummy!
and: carving the pumpkin!
This year’s idea was to create a scenery in the woods with some squirrels and a bambi. Some moss, mushrooms and rosehip. In the end, I was impressed how nice it turned out! too bad, that it is not gonna last for weeks until Halloween.
I mean, is it even possible to turn a boring blue wood room into something cute and nice?
Well, first there was the window and the door…with the ornamental wood border, which I found at the fleamarket, this was a start for sure. But even more worse was the plain side of the storage room. To give it some kind of a nicer character it took me some frames, a painting, hooks, metal signs and a lot of logs and some wine boxes.
But now I do really like it. all this small items gave the room a real face lift and kind of have the image of allyear around fleamarket at our house. Which I find great!
Oh, dear! what will the neighbours think about that?
