The ornament trees

It is a TAST stitch of SharonB which inspired me for those

fir trees - crossed buttonhole stitch, the small "trees"

are made with wheatear stitch.

 

Then I had the idea to make a christmas ornament. It is small.

Less than 4 cm

What about making more? I could use them as pendants for

little presents.

Yes, good for Christmas. The gingerbread house is a photo

from a journal.

Then I increased my output. And please look at the cross-stitch

snowflakes on the reverse side -

DH put them on our wreath of Advent

Next step - filling the sachets with Christmas cookies -

DH was baking - instead of renovating the house, ha!

I gave them all away .....

Enjoy Sunday - it is the 3. Advent - three candles are burning.

It is baking time

The boss of the household - made this

And it is stored now in tin boxes

Marillenringe - Shortbread filled with abricot jam

 

 

Kokospralinen - cookies with cocos

 

Basler Leckerli - Gingerbread cookies

Nikolausplätzchen - Santa Claus cookies

Now you would think that I have time

to sew, stitch, embroider, paint, draw, sketch, fill my diary.

Nothing of the kind........

I am cooking already for Christmas

and the time after when one part of the family will be with us.

And doing a thousand other household related things

as everybody of you, dear readers, are doing as well.
