So…shall we open yesterday’s door? π¬ Of course we should…
It’s a….supercute Hat-Pattern π I don’t know about you, but once I’m 2, 3 months into hat-weather, I get bored by my winter gear, and I- at the very least – need a new hat!π
This is a easy-to-follow pattern for intermediate crocheters, or adventurous newbies.
At the moment I’m taking a break from crocheting…darn carpal tunnel. π€¨ But as soon as that’s cleared up, this hat will be mine! π
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you’ll be back for the opening of the remaining doors. π πΌ
Happy Weekend-Eve! π Let’s see what surprise is behind Door #11…
Some fabulous Christmas crafts! I love the floating-ornaments decorations!
Last year I tried my hand at one, and am pretty happy with it. I do wish I had used a longer fork – oh well, too late now π It still looks kinda floaty, so I’m happy π
If you like what you see, and would like to make your own, please click here for instructions and more fun ideas π (page will open in a new window)
Happy crafting! π
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you’ll join me for the opening of the remaining doors. π πΌ
How wonderful to see that you, after all this time, are still with me! I trust that you and your loved ones are doing well and are in good spirits! π
Itβs been so long that it almost feels like starting this little blog all over again! π
And what better way to mark a new beginning than with this festive Advent Crown/Wreath?
The beginning of this yearβs Advent season kinda caught me by surprise. But then again, Iβm usually behind and have to light two candles at once on the second Sunday But not this year! π This arrangement is so fast and easy that I will be able to light the first candle tonight. It really took me no longer than 5 minutes! π
Hereβs what you need:
A Bundt Pan (Hint:Thrift stores are full of them π)
Sand or Aquarium rocks
4 candles
Potpourri
Fill the Bundt Pan halfway with the sand/rocks (if you use votive candles fill it to about 1/2β from the top).
Secure your candles.
I almost forgot to take the picture π
Add your candles and the potpourri….and youβre done π
Now isn’t that lovely π
β¨In case you’re curious about the meaning of the 4 candles...
1st candle: The Candle ofHope. Hope is like a light shining in a dark place.
2nd candle: The Candle of Peace.
3rd candle: The Candle of Love.
4th candle: The Candle of Joy.
I wish you a wonderful, peaceful Advent Season! π€π―π
The weekend is right around the corner, and we are entering uncharted grounds, aren’t we? π Can’t go anywhere (or at least we’re not supposed to!), the weather is not cooperating, so outside time is out π, ergo, artsy-fartsy indoor stuff it is! π

The people behind ‘open culture.com’ offer everything you could ever desire when it comes to entertainment and activities…or so they say. I have not tried to get a movie, an ebook, an online course. But if you’re willing to try – here’s the Link π
If you find that it is as awesome as it looks, please let me know. I’d appreciate it! π

I was surprised to get some sweet compliments on my drawings.
You might remember the ‘ Flower Queen’
I recently finished ‘Let’s read’ π
Then I thought you might wanna invite these girls into your home, and stay busy while being artsy. So here they are as coloring pages. Just print and get colorful! π
They’re a bit wonky in places…but, aren’t we all? π
Since it looks like we’re all gonna have to stay inside a while longer, and school’s out for the summer π³ (at least in Kansas it is) the call for activities is getting louder!
I found a few more for ya π so this here won’t happen to you! π
–1. If you like to color check out these fabulous coloring pages of museum art. Just click here and be amazed π

Apparently the “Roll a….” drawing activity is very popular.
I found this ‘Roll a monster’ activity sheet on Pinterest.
P.S. There’s nothing wrong with your eyes. The picture on the original post was so small, that it got a bit blurry when I enlarged it. π
For a variety of Monsters…here are some more ideas π
I’m off to hunt for more activities for us all! π
Take good care of yourself! Wash your hands! π I hope you get to stay inside! π
