Christmas is coming and since we have limited resources, I decided to make a very untraditional wreath, but still somewhat Christmas like. 

While most people are proudly showing off their lovely Christmas trees, what do we have? A Christmas plant! Our first Christmas presents too!

The Herbstmessse has been replaced with the Christmas Market. It's so beautiful to wander around at night when it's all lit up while enjoying some mulled wine. :)

It's been cold here and I've been wearing a knitted beanie my Mom made. :)

The grey days here make for "bleh" days...

One day this week by hair cooperated with me and looked pretty!

(There's a special hair pin kind of hiding that was given to me for my birthday)

I've been drinking plenty of tea and love how the bleeding tea bag looks like water colors.

What I'm reading. Prime Ministers, Presidents, Design, and Typography. 

Lately I've been getting my Sudoku on. 

Yummy meals have also been popping up in our house. :) 

We are really loving the side dish of grilled zucchini 

Mushrooms to go into a Sausage Cream Penne

Speaking of food, I was sent this amazing bottle of homemade Vanilla extract from my Mom!
