I'm ready

All the Christmas cards are already on its way, so I can finally show them. My first attempts at quilling.

 Sorry for the poor quality of the photo. I rushed taking pictures before sending them.

This one is for the Goth in me :-)

And I'm Santa is ready for Christmas.

Whoa..

How many times in a winter can weather change from +12 to -5 C in a day and a couple of days later change from -8 to +12 degrees C in a day only to change back a few days later?

Update: here are the official data. Not for my hometown, but it's similarly crazy here. Notice the timescale!

I mean, I love crazy and windy and cold weather but come on...

On a different note, ultraviolet is the colour of the year!

When I first heard it, I was amused, perplexed and really wondered how one can make something invisible the colour of the year.

Well, it turned out this was just a name. The colour is a plain normal violet. Nothing ultra about it. I'm not yet sure I like it, but I surely don't dislike it as that millennial pink that still lingers around.

Oooh, but I really do like the Desert Sunset combination!

Winter :-)

The igloo in the front yard is finished.
Christmas wreath is hanging on the doors. 
Christmas wheat is growing nicely.

And I'm finally making Christmas cards. Just a teaser for now:

December!

Well, the winter started and I'm loving it!

We are getting ready for Christmas. A poinsettia and an advent calendar are already on the dining table.

And MiniMojcek Nr. 2 has once again proven to be a genius. Although he is very familiar with the idea of advent calendar and the 24 days one has to wait for Chrismas... he quickly realised that 24 is actually the number of hours in one day and that instead of waiting till the 24th, he could open a number every hour of today :-)
