Christmas is almost here!! where did the whole year go??? I love Christmas season, so many sweet childhood memories... besides making some cards I´ve been doing some crafts too!
Here I am to show you a Christmas bunting I made a few days ago
I took some pages from an old book and printed the images (all from The Graphics Fairy) directly on the pages, cut them in a flag-like shape and added a few sparkling details: sequins, glass seed beads, glitter glue; colored some parts of the images with colored pencils and used a knotted string to hung it.
It was so easy and fun to make I´m thinking to do more of them to decorate my place all year round! here you have a few more pictures:
On my cooking side I´ve been trying a few baking recipes I had spotted here and there. In particular I made these super-wonderful chocolate cookies (you can find the recipe here) and some beer breads (using this recipe). Hope you try them too! love the smell of my house when I find the time to bake, the cookies are wonderful and the bread is simply amazing!
Next week I´ll take a few day off, so I hope I can find the time to blog a bit more and to visit you too! Thank you for stopping by, have a wonderful day!

I love the bunting you made. It is perfection. The details over the print are so pretty. You did such a nice job on it, I bet it looks even better in person! xo
Hello dear Ileana, nice to see you :) Your bunting is beautiful and the recipes sound very yummy. Glad you're getting a few days off...enjoy your Christmas break and have a wonderful new year. Hopefully next year won't be quite as busy for all of us!
