What I've been up to...

I would have loved to write something for torino10154's Blow Job Friday. (Have you seen the awesome stories over there?)
Well, lets just say I've been creative in other ways- like seasons craftmanship.

Though most people here are not very religious anymore nearly everyone celebrates a lot of those old Catholic traditions during Christmas season. So, I've crafted an Advent calender for the little one these last days and we've decorated our Advent wreath together today. Here are some pics about the calender crafting because it started a bit strange and now everything looks very shiny. And a pic of the wreath on top.

Yepp, that are loo rolls.

Much better. Duh!

And the treats.

Took around 5 hours to get there. Thank heaven, we've only one child. ;p

And the Advent wreath.

We also crafted some window pictures (Christmas trees) together this afternoon. Now we are well prepared for this year's season. :D


Oh, and I've read a lot. Fics and books. I'm currently reading a book from my tbr pile which came to my mind again because drarryisgreen quoted it yesterday. I need to hurry because hd_erised starts posting on Monday. OMG, I'm so excited! :D

It's nearly midnight here. I hope you are all having a wonderful Sunday!

That is a super cool advent calendar! What a fun idea.

Those treats that you created are beautiful. So much fun. I used to do an advent calendar with my kids when they were small. They loved the little daily treats and it was fun for me too.

I'm so excited about Erised! The h/d holiday fest has always been one of the best fests. Can't wait.

That calendar looks great! Such a cool idea, and kudos for having the patience :)
And lovely advent wreath as well!

You cannot mention you're reading a book but not tell me what it is, are you trying to torture me? What is it ENQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW

Those advent calendars look AWESOME!! I may have to get my kids to do them together today, so I can go far away and pretend that I don't have a terrible hangover, LOL

ERISED TOMORROW!! Ohmygod, I feel like I've been waiting FOREVER I'm so excited!!

That's awesome!!! I am incapable of doing anything with my hands so am always in deep admiration for those who can! :D Well done, sweetie! :D

Oh, these are fabulous! :D
I'm so glad you decided to do that - it's exactly what a little girl might like, glossy and shiny and brightly coloured - heck even I'd like to get something like this! :D
Excellent job, girl, excellent job indeed, well worth the effort! Take it from this troll with two left hands. :P ;)

My dear Nia, sorry I'm so late with commenting on this great post! Your Advent calendar looks splendid and I'm more than convinced that the little one will get all crazy just by looking at it. Our little one got one calendar from each grandmother (more chocolate than a two-year-old should ever be allowed to eat...) so this year I have no outlet for all my creative energy (except FESTs, of course). At least, I already baked tons of biscuits and she sprinkled them with colourful sugar beads (pellets?) - I don't know the right word but you know what I mean.

ERISED: YAY!!! My flist explodes with all the fest-posts popping up and I'm so looking forward to see your fic making its appearance <3! Dear giftees of Nia, be prepared for TOTAL AWESOMENESS!

Oh wow! Your advent calendar is awesome!

I wanted to take part in BJ Friday too! *still sulking* But I was behind with everything and couldn't. Still, it was fun to read the fics this weekend :)
