Christmas Eve – we are running around the house to get everything ready.
The table is set – with plates and glasses.
I bought some lanterns from H&M planning to use them outside in the summer. For now they are the decorations along with green leaves/spruce, red berries and beautiful apples, and not to be forgotten small mushrooms carved in wood. This is nature and Christmas spirit for me.
Creating a very special gift for someone special this year. Needless to say, he is a big Doctor Who fan.
I found this key locker cheap and decided to turn it into the famous police box ‘Tardis’. How hard could that be?
First thing – the color. After some searching I located a very blue spray paint in a nearby shop. The weather has been wet – so I decided to spray paint inside.(never ever do that again – I’m still cleaning up small blue particles everywhere)
I covered 2/3 of the glass with blue silk paper using decoupage glue.
I found the signs online (300dpi) and printed them. They were attached to the box with decoupage glue under and on top.
Finishing of the last details, 4 days before Christmas Eve my Doctor Who Police box project was finished. All the shapes of the box is not correct, but there is no doubt of the inspiration.
December is finally here, and I started baking the first Christmas cookies of the year This one is a favorite – cookies with dark chocolate and almonds.
I started off by chopping the chocolate.
Then mixed chopped chocolate and almonds together with flour, coconut sugar and the rest of the ingredients.
Formed small cookies out of the dough….
And put them in the oven … In a few minutes they’ll be ready
It’s become a tradition – and such a great one it is!
Every November I run around to find the last gift for the calendar. The rest has been found or made during the year.
While buying the last gift I found this great wrapping paper/bags in ‘Tiger’ along with the shimmering ribbon. All gifts were wrapped in this and hung on a white hanger with a silver star.
I added small gifttags with numbers and it is now ready to be brought home by my parents.
