The joy of Christmas season.......

S prichodem prosince se ochladilo, v noci klesaji teploty k nule a prez den se splhaji tak maximalne k 5 stupnum. Koncem tydne predpovidaji i snehove prehanky.  Ulice a vyklady se rozsvitily  a ja uz take vytahla par prvnich vanocnich dekoraci.

It got cold in December and  temperatures are dropping to zero at night and  5 degrees max during the day.There is a snow fall forecast for Thursday. Christmas light are on in the city, the stores windows are decked up and even I took out the first decorations.

 Na vcerejsi prochazce jsem nazbirala potrebny material na vyrobu vence na vchodove dvere a dnes se pustila do prace
 I collected material to make a wreath when I went for a walk yesterday and today I set to work.

A takhle vypada zaveseny na dverich.
And here it is on our front door.

Prvni cukrovi.....pernicky.
First Christmas cookies ......gingerbread.

Stale jeste pletu bezprstove rukavice. Dokoncuji objednavku 21 paru :)
Still knitting hand warmers. I am finishing an order for 21 pairs :)

DIY

Nekolik navodu DIY neboli " udelej to sam " pro ty, kteri radi tvori. Pomalu (ale jiste) se blizi vanoce a tak treba udelate nekomu radost rucne vyrobenym "sperkem".

Few DIY for all of you who like to make jewelry, and since Christmas is approaching  fast, these would make  nice gifts too.

No a co takhle hackovany venec?  Nechci tady strasit se svatky predcasne ale myslim, ze na vyrobu darku a dekorace uz opravdu zase tolik casu nezbyva :))  Uz vas to take "chyta"? Je to tezke odolat, kdyz obchody jsou plne vanocni vyzdoby a v pulce listopadu vam hraji  koledy!

And what about this crochet wreath? I don't want to push holidays on you so early, but I think that if you are making gifts and decorations yourself, there is no time to spare :)) It is hard to resist, specially when the stores are already decked up for the holidays and playing Christmas songs!

in the making ......

Tvorim,tvorim,tvorim, tak by se daly definovat me dny, ktere  leti rychleji nez bych si prala. Dalsi obchudek me oslovil s navrhem, prodavat me nakrcniky a tak pletu o sto sest...... :)

I am making lots of neck warmers these past days. One local store with two branches is interested in selling them, so I knit and knit and knit...... :)

 

 Stale me take "vola" kulaty polstarek. Postup jeho  vyroby jsem vam pred nedavnem ukazala tady. Zatim jsem vybrala latky, ktere chci na jeho vyrobu pouzit.

I still want to make the round pillow that I blog about here. For now I selected the fabric I think I'll use to make it.

 

 Vanocni venecky, koupene v dollarovem kramku, ano vse tam koupite za dollar- tedy musim se opravit, protoze pred par mesici uz to neni $1.00 ale $1.25.  a pochybuji, ze zmeni nazev ochodu, prezto ze je najdete po cele severni americe. V potrebach pro kutilky za polotovar na zdobeni zaplatite kolem $7.00. Takze jsem pro zacatek z venecku otrhala vsechnu dekoraci a  omotala ho reznou latkou. Snad se k jejich dokonceni brzy dostanu.

Christmas wreaths from dollar store that I took apart and started redecorating. I payed $1.25 compere to $7.00 at the craft store.  I used linen fabric but have to put it aside for now till I have more time on hand.

A jak uz jiste vsechny vite, loucim se s vami vetsinou " spetkou  inspirace ".  Vim, ze jsou ted hodne v oblibe obhackovana raminka ale pro ty co hackovat neumi,  nebo nemaji tolik casu, ci trpelivosti,  snadno zvladnou tuto techniku. Co myslite, zkusite si  takove raminko udelat?

As you all probably now by now, I like to leave you with some inspiration. I've seen lots of crochet covered coat hangers, but for you, who don't crochet or have no time nor the patience, you can try this easy and fast project. Do you think you'll give it a try?
