More " Cosy Winter"

 Hello, 

and  brrrrr..... it's cold  out there ! This "Cosy Winter" is the goal right now, because we have freezing temperatures. 

Luckily , according to the weather forecast, it's supposed to warm up a little next week. So when I went to the shop for my weekly groceries and I saw bunches of daffodils there, I just had to get them. 

A perfect opportunity to experiment with the camera on my new phone. I played around with the focus , took some shots and liked this one best. A little bit of colour on a grey and cold day :) 
I completed another cross stitch wall hanging which I started before Christmas. I changed the colours slightly and also changed the Christmas parts of the design to a more neutral theme. Overall I'm happy how it turned out. 
But now to the freebie part you have been waiting for. 
I had to put candles into the design parts, because in my opinion they are a big part of cosiness. 
So here is the second part of  Cozy Winter . 


Cosy Winter will continue , although I might put a couple of  other themed parts in between. We have Valentines Day coming , for example. But as I'm not like the shops who already have their Easter stuff on the shelves, that will have to wait until short before the 14th. 

So enjoy , and until next time.

First freebie and post of 2023

 Hello 

and I hope you all had a pleasant start into the new year. I was actually on nightshift on New Years eve, but it wasn't too bad. Of course I slept the first day of the new year away after that. 

Project wise I have already been quite busy this month. 

The first thing I did, I made some candles. 

I love candle light and over the year I burn quite a few of them. Most times there is some wax left over in the bottom or it doesn't quite burn down to use all of the wax. Well, over 2022 I collected all this left over wax in a plastic bag, and I had plenty enough to melt it all down and make some new candles from these left overs. There was no need to add colour pigment, but I added some fragrance oils to make them smell delicious. 
I kept all the old candle jars,washed  and refilled them. 
And there you go- 5 new candles which cost me practically nothing. Just a new wick and some time and electricity to melt the wax on my cooker. 
This little Resin kit was a Christmas gift to myself. I always wanted to try this. 
As it turns out it was fun to try , but not a craft I would invest in on a grand scale. 
The bookmark turned out quite pretty and I had enough resin to make 2 more. 
I finished the cross stitch picture I showed in my last post. This will go in my craft/hobby room. 
This is the new WIP (work in progress) and will hang in my kitchen once it's complete. 

Okay, I think tat's enough for today. Just one more thing to do .....
Freebie time ! 
For now we're in the winter season. This is the first part of the winter themed minis to come. 

Here is the download link 


Enjoy , and until next time
