Modern cross-stitches


Oh, I like these. Cross-stitches go 2000. Reminds me of those embroideries by grandma. Gry Fager livens up an old tradition with these stylish pieces. So typical of the 21st century. Why would we sew when we can make the same on the computer?
 
See more here.

It is something about...

...Svenskt Tenn. Love the pattern in the black cushions above. Reminds me of that I have the same textile in my cupboard and need to create a pillow of it as soon as the Christmas holidays are here...

Otherwise thinking too much about wall art right now. I have such difficulties to hang something on my newly painted, fresh, white walls... All those holes if you regret or change your mind... Leaning is one idea, but that also takes some space from the sideboard.

Anyway, have a cosy Sunday!

Cosy Christmas

 
I started the morning by reading a fashion magazine and the horoscope said:
 
The Christmas will be nice and cosy in a homelike way. You concentrate on being together rather than on a huge amount of presents.
 
I left out "...a table loaded with Christmas food and drink" as it sounded so boring to be without that.
 
No, I do not trust horoscopes but if they are nice I do. The food and get-together emphasis sound nice. And I am sure it will be special and very enjoyable and homelike during Christmas. All things after the moving are soon in place and I can just curl up with warm socks in the sofa, eat peanuts and marmelade and burn candles.
 
But anyway. Wish lists need to be done. I do not have a clue right now. But here is at least one version. It might change still...Enjoy!
