x-mas trees booth

The stock had shrunk back to one single tree,
so today we've made nine new trees.

The x-mas trees in the booth are most likely the last trees of the year.

Today we finally made ​​our own home tree.
The release of this tree is completely different than the previous trees.

The x-mas tree of 2011 will be presented shortly...

wood & wool pet x-mas tree

This tiny tree I've made for Chikuwa.
Chikuwa is a French bulldog who lives in Japan.

Lynn asked me to make a xxs tree for her cute Chikuwa.

This awesome dog has a doggie blog and is already owner of a wood & wool stool.

Since "normal" Christmas trees in her house often not do survive (demolition cat), Nikki ordered ​​a cat-proof x-mas tree (at least that's the idea)

brightly colored stool legs

Brightly colored stool legs,
as if the stools wear funky tights.

After many requests with detailed wishes, concerning wood, colors and patterns,
sometimes I receive an 'at its sole discretion' order.

The lady in question (just moved from Barcelona to Amsterdam) had only one wish; no white...

Yay, that's my thing.

It's super fun to make things upon request,
but this stool also was a pleasant job.

dark days before christmas

The dark days before Christmas, do have bright spots too.

The colored lights in the tree, you can see from a distance when you enter the street. (sorry to those who do not love the bright LEDs) and the sparkling lights from inside.

A wooden crate with winter fruits. Juicy orange tangerines wíth leaves and twigs.

Long evenings and lots of time for a good read or a nice movie.

Within a few days we will make a new xxl wood & wool x-mas tree for our home.
(it's about time, for someone starting to make x-mas trees since October)

spoonful of cuteness

Happy with a plastic spoon?
Yes I am.

First I thought the plastic spoons were too expensive.
It is (not) just a plastic spoon.
But they are so cute and were getting cuter everytime I saw them at the Villa Augustus market.

I could not choose, the flowers, dots?
And what colour? blue, red, pink?

First I bought two.
A week later two more.

So I bought them all in pairs.
It's cheaper when you buy two at a time ;)

Keep fooling yourself!

They're worth it! (even the coffee tastes better)

★ wish upon a star ★

I just love stars;

Have some ★ cardigans,
a pair of ★ boots (they're almost famous),
For Christmas I bought a bright orange paper ★ at Sissy Boy (thanks Deborah)
and stumbled upon more stars, while unpacking the Christmas stuff (amazingly, every year I am surprised again by things we have for years and years)

I will try to keep this pretty ★ shirt aside until Christmas (that's the intention...)

(antique Christmas ball & butterfly mirror: scored at Lammie's shop)

This wood & wool x-mas tree has risen as a cover star in Mollie Makes issue 8.

How cool is that?

This morning I was pleasantly surprised when the Scandinavian Christmas edition fell on the doormat.

Again many beautiful 'living & loving handmade' things and (yay!) also a free BY FRYD calendar to enjoy the wonderful Scandinavian style throughout the year 2012!
