Made by Hand

Today I have gift wrapped some of my handmade Christmas gifts.
Paper with stars from a local supermarket, neon ribbon and
patchwork mushrooms from last year and finally
my new labels.

The labels are made by a talented blog friend of mine.

You can see some of her lovely work on her website, No21.

I haven't caught the Christmas spirit yet,
but I better find the boxes with Christmas decoration before
next Sunday, the first advent Sunday.

A couple of days ago a friend and I went to a lovely Christmas fair.
It was in a huge, private flat in a very old building in Copenhagen.
The flat was gorgeous and so were all the Christmas stuff, 
you could buy there. Mostly very old items from Sweden.

Long time no see

It's fall, I love this time of year.

The yellow and bronze fall leaves, the crispy weather,

grey days with walks in the wood or by the sea.

Soon it's time to wear woolie shawls, scarves and mittens.

I love it as much as I love to have bare feet in summertime.

Recently I have knitted two Annabel cardies and

also two Sweet November Shawls.
I enjoy smaller projects like these 
crochet wrist warmers or socks.
My finished projects has grown into
a tiny pile of wollie gifts. 

Today I enjoyed some time in the kitchen.

I made two kind of muffins - banana/walnut and apple/cinnamon,

hokkaido soup and baguettes.

Some days its meditative to be home alone

and spend time in the kitchen.

Now several hours later it's time to taste

an apple/cinnamon muffin with my dear hubby.

Because we're worth it!

Tomorrow is a new day. 

I can't wait to see, what it will bring me -

I'm off from work tomorrow too.

Grab the day.
