This is my x-mas deco for this year. And the first Christmas Tree in boyfriends and my first flat! 

I just learned a new method to make cords and I found this great silk yarn at the Christmas market. I HAD to make a new pouch!  I love the blue/ivory contrast!



Detail:

I love to make Christmas Cookies. It's my way to slow down a little before the stress starts.. These kind of cookies are typically Swiss. They're called "Mailänderli", "Schoggichugele" and "Kokosgnoggi"

Mom and I use to make our own green, wild, naturalistic, a bit country Christmas wreaths every year. one could say, it became a tradition over the last few years... This time, we had some help from a friend of hers. It was a real good afternoon, full of being crafty, good talks, laughter and self made hot spiced wine.
 Well, and that's the result:





The nice things we used (we raided Granny's garden for that.. But don't worry, we made one for her door, too. )



Work in progress...

I made this wreath yesterday. I love how the colours match!

Have you ever tried out bacon plums?? They are mindbogglingly yummy!!



You just need bacon, plums and an oven



Wrap the bacon around the plums, place them on a baking tray and put them in the oven until brown and a little crunchy. Just as bacon has to be! 

Enjoy!

I wanted to make this for ages, but I just couldn't find the time and the inspiration until now. And this is what I made yesterday:



I took an old Styrofoam board


covered it with fleece (I used spray glue)


Then I choose the fabric (an old bedding). Here's a closeup:


I covered the board with the fabric and to fix it on the backside I simply used tape.
Then I attached the ribbon and fixed it with silver nails.

Hi folks!
some days ago, I tried out polymer clay for the first time in my life. And that's the result!





I'm very pleased how they turned out.   And I LOVE to work with clay! I'll make definitely some more stuff!   Maybe for Christmas....

I read mitchell-b's post about her cinnamon rolls some weeks ago ( http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=291303.0 ) and I had to give it a try! They look soooo yummy!

well, here is my version! I had to figure out, what cups exactly means, cause we measure in grammes and milliliters..



After backing:


and with topping:


They were just fantastic!!! My bf took the last one with him to work for lunch, and he told me that everybody was so jealous.. 

I did these medieval seat cushions after a painting of Robert Campin (Master of Flémalle), called Mérode-Triptychon, about 1420-1430.
It's a wool stuffed linen inlay, covered with wool fabric. And it's handsewn.
