Floral cushions

I found this lovely fabric one day I was in London, perfect for a few new cushions for Ophelia's room.

Lucky me

I know this wonderful girl, who is so nice to me - she keeps surprising me with her creative skills.

I had this lovely fabric (bought on ebay) laying around for ages, my dear Au-pair Anne Sofie knew I wanted to make a cushion for Felix room out of it, but I just never got around to do it. Then yesterday afternoon after spending all day in London buying Autumn/Winter collections for the shop, I was presented with this fabulous cushion, with beautiful yellow piping. Perfect for Felix room.

Don't you think Im lucky to know this wonderful girl?

Stamps

I found this lovely stamps set in the sale last week

Now I just need to find time to sit down and be creative....

Lucky Stars

Lately I have been addicted to making origami lucky stars, I found a video on YouTube and followed the instructions, very easy! I bought the paper here.

I'm not quite sure what to use them for yet! Do you have any idea's?

1st Sunday in Advent

Though I live in UK I have a strong desire to keep alive Danish Christmas traditions, and one of them is to make a Advents Krans (Advent wreath) Usually we make ours of a wreath made of fir and each year we decorate it different. This years theme is very traditional red and white - As you can see on the pictures we light all the candles at once! I know this might not be the right thing to do, but personally I think it looks prettier this way.

Danish Christmas Market, London

Today we went to KFUK in Belsize Park, London to the annual Danish Christmas Market. We meet up with Mathilde & Esteban and enjoyed a proper Danish lunch together followed by œbleskiver
(Small doughnut shaped things! But so much better than doughnuts!!)

At the Christmas market you could buy everything you need for a Danish Christmas: sild, remulade, pebbernødder, Julebryg, hotdogs, lakrids, julepynt, rødkål, leverpostej, kalenderlys, nisser, klejner, marcipan etc. Pure heaven for all the Danes in London.

Shrinkles (Shrink Art)

Lately Ophelia and I rediscovered 'shrink art' - Its lots of fun, and you can make so many different things:

Pendants for necklaces

Brooches

Earrings

Cuff links for Daddy

Little drawings to glue on letters and pictures

What du you make out of shrink art?
