Wow

We woke up to this. Which makes it far easier to get in the mood for advent 1st. Pretty, huh?
Snow is not something we can automatically expect in Denmark, so we enjoy it a lot.
Sleighs, skis and big boots are taken out immediately, as we know the lot might be gone again
by tomorrow. We also complain madly about it, but that's just us Danes.

Should you be more inclined to stay indoors today, you might make yourself some nice cones,
just like these, that I made for you. That is a soft start, no?
You may stick a sprig of pine in them, or just leave them as they are. I made them in red and green,
so voilà - they are little trees as well, if you like. Find the link a bit further down....

I must like trees as decorations - last year I crocheted them, and made the twirly ones!

Trees

I don't feel quite ready for the full xmas monty yet - it's always like that.

But it is coming. In some shape or form. Such as the sudden urge to crochet little trees.
So, yeah, I made these (with styrofoam cones from the hobby shop, and olive jar lids to give them
a bit of stamina) and the question is whether they will be encircled by dancing elves or topped by
golden stars in a few days. I do get carried away. I love a corny christmas window, like the ones from
my childhood with a small village of odd sized creatures, gathered around a lake (= a mirror) in the
cotton wool snow. And the church - with the little candle in it... Sigh.

But right now, these are just green and quietly tree-like.

Don't forget to check the first heart tomorrow....!
