This year the front porch Christmas decoration is all about ribbons and making it cozy for Santa so that he feels comfortable, stays long and leaves a lot of gifts behind for me. You must know I have been very good this year. I tried to set it up like it could be his living room. If he is up for a little skiing he can do that as well.
This weekend, my hubby is in trouble as I told him that we`ll be setting up the Christmas decoration. Since he is responsible for outside lighting, this means serious work. Only 4 weeks to go, so stay tuned, there’ll be lot’s of pics coming up. Since the hubby was not willing to get photographed standing on the ladder grumpy as nothing seemed to work, here´s me adjusting the front porch.
Last Saturday my friend Dani from Danröschen had her annual Christmas event for customers in her store. Traditionally this is my „season opener“ for Christmas baking. Everything needs to be perfect, I even draw a ‚map‘ where to put things. I also try new recipes and new cake decorations. This is a short preview of the result. I will be posting more pictures with details soon.
Happy Halloween! Instead of carving out a real pumpkin, this year I decided to go for these Pumpkin Pom-Poms. The name alone is a very cute tongue twister. Don´t believe it ? Try to say it 5 times quickly. Pumpkin Pom-Pom, Pumpkin Pom-Pom, Pumpkin Pom-Pom …… Although we live in an area with no Halloween tradition what so ever, I told the hubby to buy things for trick or treators. Just in case. You´ll never know.
Seriously, would you try and eat that apple ? Looks tempting, doesn’t it ? I used this wreath that I already had together with a bit of black spray paint to turn it into a scary Halloween display. Just in case someone is hungry while passing by our house. Weird side effects guaranteed.
