The house is getting decorated for Christmas.
We're still missing lots of trim and detail around the house. My living room is riddled with tools as always. But we've found ways to bring in warmth.
"Sexy and weird" according to *Mila*.
A painting I'm working on for my parents.
Our "advent" calendar to count down the days. There is supposed to be chocolate under each gnome house. We're afraid we'll eat them all.
Can't call this my favourite Christmas story, but it reminds me of my childhood. "Nets of silver and gold have we said Wynken, Blynken and Nod"
A curtain warmed up the ice palace that we live in.
I managed to "sew" 5 curtains scattered throughout the house. *Mila* scored one for her room, of course!
Put the tree up and we're tired of bandaging the tree with ribbons and scattering feathers. Seems very 80s. And yes, becoming a parent means accomodating for multi coloured lights and all the vintage ratty old decorations.....but most loved.
Even the bookcase was jazzed up with some disco balls. Yep, more curtains!SWEDISH decorations.
Icelandic disco balls. They're Icelandic in my home.
Swedish pine cone. It's Swedish when placed on top of the IKEA catalogues. And yes, it is necessary to have so many copies!
Sarah will miss us and we'll miss her.Even Suma feels a lot cozier in the house.
