Yes, we are almost to the 3rd Sunday in advent and I am finally getting time to sit down. Between my wee part time job and Xmas preparations, there isn't a lot of time to blog. I have managed to decorate the house a fair bit including a "julekrans" which I made from twigs and hung from the ceiling (see photos below). I am quite happy with the result I must say, as it is my first ever! I have some favorite ornaments - the kind that look old but aren't and liked the idea of hanging them in one place.

We also have had a yearly Xmas photo session with the boys and as you can see, this took some time...

And if that wasn't enough, we also made gingerbread cookies in the afternoon!

As far as art news, not a lot of production these days. Once I get past the holidays, clean my studio and get used to my little job, I will make time each week to get to it. Multi tasking is hard!
Next up, the tree...
