Christmas = Good food and few good presents.♥

Aye!

Christmas is finally over. How was yours?

It was such a shame that we didn't get any snow this Christmas. Only grey clouds and rain. Somewhat ruined the small Christmas spirit I had. Oh well. I'm not that much into Christmas any more.

Our (my fiancé, our cats and me) Christmas was just good food, taking it easy and sleeping late. Plus I finally had so "much" free time so I actually got some stuffs done.

I didn't get much presents, but that was to be expected. I didn't ask for anything. I already posted about the new bag I got a while ago, which was my first gift.
After that it was just three items and money (since you can't really buy food or pay bills with items..), a pair of leggings to keep me warm this coming winter and a small box of chocolate. 

The three items I got are these:


^ The most beautiful fire alarm there is! ♥ (Lento, by Paula Suhonen, Jalo Helsinki. Colour: white.)


^ A cake server (By Magisso. Colour: black)! And believe it or not, I don't really have any, even thought I am a baker-confectioner...


^ And last but not least, a new wash brush (By Rento)! Now I can enjoy our sauna even more ♥

.......

And all these three items are Finnish design. Unless I am horribly wrong, but I'm hoping that I'm not.

Anyway, it's not time for some food (meat stew!♥), so I must go. Happy New Year, since it's almost here. And if someone is still having a Merry Christmas, or what-ever-that-doesn't-offend-you (....), Merry blah-blah to you!

New stuff from eBay and some Christmas crafting♥

Howdy.

Didn't get any time to post last week even thought I had a day off.
But that means that now I have more to post about.

Firstly there's some stuff I got from eBay and lastly some Christmas cards and gifts I've made. Sadly this year I didn't have enough time to make all the cards myself, so all except the cards for Mom and Dad were bought, thought I did add some glitter and/or pears to them.
At least I managed to send them on time...

I am doing my best on the gifts part thought. Most I'll be making myself, unless I happen to see something that I think would fit someone perfectly.

Anyway, on with the show!



^ Here's the new stuff from eBay! Two pairs of earrings (the rose ones have tiny crystals inside♥), eyelash adhesive (Korean/Chinese cheap stuff is the best) a new mascara and some small brushes for small details. I tried to take some pictures of how the mascara looks but I failed..

.......

And next is couple new bags. Not from eBay thought.


^ We got these shopping bags at work and I fell in love with this one. And now I carry all the stuff I buy in it. So much better to carry than the average plastic bag.


^ And my early Christmas gift! My old big hand bag was.. well, old. And half dead. So it was time for a new one. And so it happened that after telling about seeing this lovely new bag at Sokos mall I was promised it.

.......

And now some artsy-fartsy craftings.


^ Hand made Christmas cards for Mom and Dad.



^ A hairband for my boss's daughter. The rose can also be taken off and worn as a brooch etc.


^ Added some pearls to the hairband to make it more interesting.

^ And nothing else but a pink high heel for the little Princess.


^ And a wreath. Might give this to my boss too, since the necklace feels a bit.. Well, not enough.


^ Closer.

.......

And that's it for today. Next post will be up most likely some day next week. Not on Sunday since we're having some guests here (Mom and my little brother♥). And tomorrow we're having a little Christmas part at work.

Anyway, next post might be about more eBay stuff if they get here. Or something else.

Byebye!♥

pfft

Hii!

And... yeah. Haven't got anything done today. Halfway through with Christmas cards, but none ready. yay. One present is coming along slow and steady. Just hoping I'll get everything done before Christmas :P

So here's a picture of Finland Cupcakes, in celebrating of our Independence Day (6.12, so I'm already late with this..).


^ Lemon & Champagne cupcakes with edible Finlands flag.

And that's all I could share with you guys today. If I have a free day next week I'll try to get some stuff done so I can post about them!

Christmas is coming!

 Hello!

As the title says, Christmas is coming. And that means Christmas gifts and cards.

Yesterday I started making the gifts (how early of me..) and next Sunday I'll try to get the cards done. Or Friday.

Anyway, thought I'd make a quick update post, show you the first gift I got done. And something else. :)



^ And here it is! Silver and different shades of red.


^ And here's a picture of a train, taken inside a train.

I was actually visiting Nummela once again almost two weeks ago. I had a class reunion and it was so much fun to meet most of the people and see how everyone was doing nowadays. Too bad no one had a good camera, so we didn't get any pictures taken.


^ And our cat Pöpö trying to make my life slightly harder.

Aand that's it for now. Again. I'll do my best to get the next post up as soon as I finish making some of the Christmas gifts and cards. 

Byebye!♥
