A few days ago I received this funny Thanksgiving Card from dear Lyn in Alaska! Thanx so much fot it - really enjoyed it!!!! ❀ Thanksgiving is known her, too, though very different and without Turkeys....and it is not now on a week day...anyway intresting to see and read about every countries special habits, isn't it?!!!? I posted another lovely rose today, just click and get it if you like - enjoy! ❀
These wristwarmers have been ready for quite some time, but I thought them to be a bit boring, so I modified them: made some stitches with a slightly shimmering cross-stitch thread around the hearts and added some seagreen beads! The result is ok now and I like them better. I used lambswool for them; fulling was made in the washing machine at 40°C. I discovered the pink yarn I used for the hearts shrinks more, although it is the same quality then the rest. This way the wristwarmers became an extra more cufflike appearance! They are super to wear to thick sweaters and coats as they are quite narrow and won't collide with it......have a lovely, successful week!
I still have some of these Polar Bear cards and I think they are just right for Aputsiaq (you ALL should have a look into her beautiful Blog....!). But as a Polar Bear collector I will share this cute shot with everyone intrested; think this is such an adorable moment caught in the photo.... *************** 


When I was a little girl I had a treasure: an old cigar box filled with the prettiest old shimmering decorative scraps, what we call here Oblaten ! This box is still somewhere, but I just can't find it....this worries me....but I have a few reprints from old designs that I would like to share with you. If you like you can take it as a free vintage clip! Will add some more soon! Think they are so beautiful and hope that I will find this old box as I had some really gorgeous fairytale scraps in it....
