Christmas knocking on the door

Last post of the year - the holidays and the end of the year will mostly be spent offline. Time to enjoy snow, candle light, presents, cooking, reading and being a bit lazy. And making plans for the new year. Hope you can do that all, too. Nothing else to say then but Merry Christmas!

Felted decorations

Something small and woollen will bring home that country style cosiness, when there is snow outside and a lighted fireplace inside. That is the mood I was looking for with these needle-felted hanging decorations:

Black nights

Those dark November nights have inspired some works in black with some sparkle.
Knitted and felted hand warmers, fading from black to grey, made of Aade Artistic, embellished with large crochet flowers and small glass beads:




A long black rosary style necklace with heart, rose and moon, and bronze coloured additions:




And a necklace to add some starshine and golden spark to the black nights:




For now, it has been snowing almost continuously for some days and the nights are not completely dark - thanks to the 30 cm thick snow cover.

White with bronze

Antique bronze with white is a great colour combination. White can be too cold sometimes, but I like the way it adopts the warmer tone of bronze.
These are simple earrings made of woolwhite felted balls, seed beads and metal.
