Filled chocolates

Back in the beginning of November I found some cheap chocolate moulds in hard plastic in my local grocery store. They had 3 different kinds so I bought one of each and then I ordered some Callebaut chocolate from a store in Germany. And last weekend I decided it was time to try to make homemade filled chocolates. 

First I made all of the fillings, which took some time, and then it was finally time to start playing with the chocolate. When you make filled chocolates it's very important that the chocolate has the right temperature, and I was a little worried about that, since this was my first attempt, but it wasn't that difficult and my chocolates turned out great 😋. I ended up making just over 2.5 kg.

Recycled Christmas card

The image with the trees is actually from an old Christmas card, which I saved from getteing thrown in the trash can at work a few years ago. I immediately saw that I could use that for a new card, and I do have another piece left, for another card. It is a pretty simple card, but I really like how it turned out:

Christmas card

For this card I found my inspiration on another Danish blog. I had some paper similiar to what she had used, so I tried to make a similiar card. The original card you can see here: Vild med kort. And this is how my card turned out:

Advent candle decoration

Of course I also made an Advent candle decoration. Usually I make it with 4 candles, but this year I was kind of late with buying the candles, and so I could only find the one I used:

Again I kept it very simple, and only used a few decorations for it.

December 1st, Christmas candle decoration

Happy 1st of December 🎄🎅. So now the count down to Christmas has started, and here we always count down the days with a Christmas candle decoration. Here is the one I made this year:

Unlike my cards I almost always keep my candle decorations very simple. I found the star at the local grocery store and immediately knew, that I wanted to use it for the candle decoration this year.
