Sinterklaas is out of the country, so Sunday I moved all the Sint decorations to our attic and started the search for our Christmas decorations. We haven’t bought the tree yet, we want to buy one in our little village. I really love the period right before Christmas and Christmas itself. All the beautiful lights, the Christmas trees in different sizes and Christmas decorations. But what Ilike the most is making my own DIY Christmas decorations. Every year I try to make something new for our Christmas collection, an overview of the Christmas DIY projects that I made for this Blog can you find here. For this year the first project is already finished, a little car with a Christmas tree on the roof. You see them a lot on Instagram, but I still like them. And they are very easy to make.

DIY crochet advent calendar 2018
Waiting for translation
Ik probeer ieder jaar iets leuk voor kerst te maken. Inmiddels heb ik al een aardige verzameling met DIY kerst projectjes (Find my other Christmas project here) , en voor 2018 wilde ik natuurlijk ook weer iets leuks maken. Een paar weken geleden zag ik bij Minkesthuis op Instagram dat zij echt een super mooie adventskalender gehaakt heeft. Vorig jaar had ze ook al zo’n mooie gemaakt. Toen had ik vanwege mijn scriptie echt helemaal geen tijd. Dit jaar heb ik iets meer tijd en besloten om de adventskalender dit jaar wel te maken. Ik heb eens even goed in mijn wol restanten en in de voorraad van mijn webshop Cottonandcandles gekeken wat ik zou kunnen gebruiken om de adventskalender naar mijn zin te maken. [Read more…]

Sinterklaas styling in Black and White (#DIY)
No one could have missed that Sinterklaas, the Dutch child legend is back in town. My sun Lars starts to realise who Sinterklaas is. Last week he still called him a gnome, because of his big white beard I guess, but since the Sint has landed, he really became Sinterklaas. Super nice to see him so enthousiast about the good old man, and mama is even more enthousiastic;-).
Finally I have a reason to decorate the house with nice Sinterklaas decoration, although I don’t have a lot of time. At the end of october my colleges at Nyenrode started again (next to my normal job) and I’ve been working on my Master thesis proposal for a couple of weeks now. But it’s so nice to make a few little DIY projects and I do need a break sometimes. So I made a couple of things for the Sinterklaas styling in our house. [Read more…]
