Acorn trees are ‘getting rid off’ their babies. Lots of bright green whispering, giggling and crying tiny seeds in our woods. We couldn’t resist. We had to borrow a few. And when the fun is over, we promise to plant them all and wait for spring in hope we’ll see some of them come to life in the best possible way…

Others use acorns too.

One more day & 2 nights to manage till the very big event… and what better way ‘to kill’ the time than making something. It was a spontaneous project with not enough patience, but who will know? We had this plastic LED wreath from IKEA since last Christmas, with no concrete plans for it, so I decided to give it a purpose. A temporary one.
You will need:
*a ring with either some LED lights attached to it or a Silhouette light from IKEA (ours is from last year, instead of a ring it’s only stars available now)
*paper snowflakes
*double sided sticky tape
The process couldn’t be more simple: I cut out the snowflakes from paper, various sizes and just stuck them on the ring with a sticky tape.

the final result



and I managed a Polish porcupine ball. They are time consuming so 1 will have to do… for now. Video tutorial

It’s December.
It’s time to put our advent calender to use.
It’s 24 days till Christmas… !!!


It’s also time to slow down, to share and give. I’m preparing some stuff for the charity event in Vilnius (Lithuania) and thinking how lucky I’m. We’re…
Think of somebody, pass some good to them.
And enjoy your life. Again and again.
