Christmas Time!

We spent Christmas at home this year. About every other year we go to England to spend it there. And when we don't we most oftenly have English relatives staying with us over the holidays. This year was unusually calm. Only my brother came over on the actual Christmas Eve (yes, in Sweden we celebrate on Christmas Eve). My mum was supposed to come aswell, but couldn't make it unfortunately. So we will go and see her one of the coming days instead.

See that handsome man there peeking from behind the tree. It's Mark. Gosh I love him! He has been absolutely wonderful this whole period. Basically he's taken care of everything. I've not been well enough to do anything useful to do with all the preparations. Apart from decorating the tree with my children. And putting together some new ornaments of course. The children also makes new ornaments every year. I love to do things like that with them.

I got some really nice presents in form of beads. Have taken photos and will show you soon.

Tomorrow Mark is off in the morning to be at a shop when this sale starts. He's going to buy a new laptop for me. Apple Macintosh of course! The kids will get my current one. I hope to be making som Vlogging on the new one every now and then. Have some ideas ...

Later tomorrow me and the kids will also go into the city, and we will all meet up to do some other good shopping. So I better go to bed now ...

Nighty night,
Malin

Wishing on a Saturday instead #2. AND who took this photo?

Can't help looking at a lot of christmas tree ornaments lately. It is not like we lack any in our house really, but you know ... These Bird Cage Cushions by Olive on Etsy, are just too sweet. I am very fond of all her things.
Nancy Schindler of Round Rabbit and the RabbitMuse blog makes wonderful porcelein pieces to use in jewellery. I love the ones with many wholes in them, but I seem to always miss out on her selling sessions in her BigCartel Shop. Bummer ... I don't have any of her things yet, but soon maybe. You can buy her jewellery in her Etsy shop.
Peppercorns in a real quail egg filled with resin. Pendant by Yolk on Etsy. Pretty!
Oh, and these earrings by Heather Powers of HumbleBeads I just love.
Almost a year ago I saw this photo on a blog somewhere. I think it was someone who had been on a weekend course in this house. I just thought it was a marvellous looking building, very odd and different. So I saved the photo in my inspiration photos folder that I keep on my computer. Now I would just like to know where this is. Anyone who knows?
