I love „Deko“ und ich dekoriere alles was rumsteht, vor allem unser Haus, hier ist das alles zusammengefasst
Oh my gosh, it seems like forever, since I posted some pictures on my lovely website. The reason for that was not, that I am the laziest person in the world, no, I was really down with the flu, but it seems like everybody has that at the moment. But Friday was the first day, when I felt a little better and I immediately turned into crafty-Andrea. I can show you my new bunting, made out of different sized doilies…
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…
Valentine's week starts today with "crafty Monday". You guessed it, this might be the first of many Valentine´s Day related posts that I am planning to do.

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.
