First Christmas card of 2021

Well, since today is the 24th I decided to make a Christmas card. I have seen other bloggers who have made Christmas cards every month on the 24th, but I have never done that myself, but today I really felt like making one, so maybe I'll try to do that every month, it will definitely make it easier to get them mailed on time I hope 🤞. I made one that is super easy and very flat. Most of my cards has to be mailed, and it is just more likely they will get there in one piece if they are flat.

Materials used:

Maja Design – Christmas Season 6x6 paper pack + an ephemera card from the 12x12 collection

Distress Ink – Bundled Sage

Hot foil plate and die from China

Half pearls

Crochet cloth

During my Christmas vacation I wasn't very creative, but I did manage to crochet one more dish cloth, this time in red. I'm pretty happy with how this turned out, the edges actually got pretty straight.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!!! Personally I hope that this year will be so much better than last year, but then again it doesn't take much, does it??? I think we are all looking forward to getting rid of this dreadful pandemic and hopefully 2021 will be the year where that happneds, even though we probably still has to be quite patient about seeing the end of it.

This year I have decided to make some creative new year resolutions, I think it might be a good idea to have some goals I want to reach this year:

1: I want to finish the Christmas Stocking I am making for my oldest daughter, I have been working on it for more than 6 years now, so I think it is time to finish it. I am planning on working on it, when she is at work, so she will be surprised when she gets it. This is how far I am with it:

2: I want to finish the  crochet blanket I am making for Rebecca. I am maybe done with 25% of the squares I am crochetting, at least they don't take so long per square.

3: I want to blog more often, so I am making it my goal to blog once a week. I just have to be better at planning my blog posts.
