a few impressions of our xmas days …

our kitchen is our family room, the center of our house

nativity scene ... filled with life now

our christmas fancy cake

some of the cards i made & sent to friends & family this year:

part of my this year's collection

it was really fun making them … recycling parts of my this year’s advent calendar & some old hamburg-postcards i found in one of my “treasure chests” …

only 3 days left until christmas … i spend my evenings in crafting, knitting, writing, … & crocheting: right now i finished this little guy … just in case you should not recognize it: it’s a turtle

thank you for the inspiration to ana paula.

this wonderful box has been inside my advent calendar a few days ago:

very inspiring … it makes me dream of summer, warmth, sun … the playa cacao … this winter will be our last one here!

every year again … this is still my favourite christmas song:

fairytale of new york – the pogues

a dreamcatcher i made for my daughter … using her favourite colors … guess she will have pink dreams

three primary life forces exist on this planet: nature. animals. and human kind. we are the earthlings. an impressive film about us earthlings & “speciesism”.

although i really don’t like the annual hype about xmas, i absolutely love making the advent calendars for my kids. this year i have even managed to come up with them in time. want to see this year’s version?

furthermore i do enjoy decorating our house. i began to do this today, 1st advent … so i don’t have to show much, but there are 24 days left to go on crafting & decorating

we are going to fill the nativity scene day by day.
