A month from now … / In einem Monat …



A month from now ... and the advent season starts!

Dear friends,


it's the 1. of November. Guess it's time to start thinking about the Advent as well as the Christmas season. Sometimes I already had gathered all Christmas presents – not this year though...

Having two days off I spent the first one (yesterday) on Etsy, uploading items. Uploading Christmas Baubles, to be precise!


The reason wasn't only the oncoming Christmas Fair / Open Day, but the fundamental question: Shall we have a Christmas tree – yes or no?
Except for last year – the living room was just too crammed cause of all stuff we moved out of the basement after the flooding – we always had a Christmas tree. And even though we are having some doubts concerning Moneypenny, we'll most definitely will have a Christmas tree this year too.

This fundamental question answered, another question arises: what colour-scheme or theme shall we go by? Ever since the year before last, I can answer this question without much thought: COLOURFUL! instead of the traditional red/green/gold.

And that's where yesterday's zeal fits in: even though most of us have plenty of Christmas ornaments hoarded in the attic, in the basement or in the store room, we can always do with something new, with a very special eye-catcher!
Now you can either (1) make something yourself – here a the links to my Christmas Baubles patterns

In einem Monat … fängt die Adventszeit an!

Liebe Freunde,


1. November: Höchste Zeit sich Gedanken zu machen über die rasch näher kommenden Advents- und Weihnachtszeit! Es gab Jahre, da hatte ich jetzt schon alle Weihnachtsgeschenke beisammen – dieses Jahr leider nicht...

Da auch ich diese beiden Feiertage frei hatte, habe ich den ersten, gestrigen, Tag zum größten Teil darauf verwendet, Sachen in meinem Etsy-Shop hoch zu laden. Weihnachtskugeln, um genau zu sein.

Anlass ist nicht nur der baldige Weihnachtsmarkt/Tag der offenen Tür, sondern die fundamentale Frage: Weihnachtsbaum? Ja oder nein?
Nun, wir hatten bislang jedes Jahr einen Weihnachtsbaum – nur letztes Jahr nicht, aufgrund der beengten Wohnverhältnisse nach der Überschwemmung des Souterrains. Und auch wenn wir dieses Jahr mit Hinblick auf Moneypenny etwas skeptisch sind, möchte ich unbedingt einen Weihnachtsbaum haben.

Bei vielen stellt sich – diese fundamentale Frage geklärt – die nächste Frage, nämlich die nach der Farbe des Weihnachtsbaumschmucks. Seit nunmehr zwei Jahren erübrigt sich diese Frage in diesem Haus: BUNT! statt des traditionellen rot/grün/Gold.

Aber, genau hier setzt meine gestrige Arbeitswut an: Auch wenn wir meistens ausreichen Weihnachtsschmuck horten auf dem Dachboden und/oder im Keller oder Abstellraum, für etwas Neues, für einen besonderen Blickfang, ist immer Platz!
Nun gibt es zwei Möglichkeiten: (1) Selber machen – hier sind die Links zu den Anleitungen von meinen Weihnachtskugeln

Ich halte euch auf dem Laufenden!

  2. Marjan I can just imagine a tree filled with these lovely globes. It would make such a statement. I know you are busy making lots of them, and I'm sure you will sell them all.

  6. I know hey, how does time just fly! But I´m so looking forward to this time of year and I just love your baubles Marjan! You know I'm a boring neutral lover, but I think these would look amazing on our tree surrounded by all the neutrals! They're gorgeous!

    1. Haha! Maybe that's why I made so many... Cannot put them all into one single tree ;-) and the hubby surely won't allow two trees (even though Moneypenny would enjoy this).

      I do hope they'll sell cause I cannot put them all onto my tree (still have a pretty few from last year and from the year before).
