Christmas in our Home

how far did you go with Christmas-fying your house?

I went as far as changing the cushion covers on our new couch


100 % Ikea and JJ

~ smile ~


stripes and gingham in Christmas red

just easily joined with ribbons


grey winter hearts motifs on one side

and Santa's crawling up from the couch on the other


together with the warm fire place

we are getting totally ready for our Christmas-for-two


the third in Canada

the first in our home in Canada!

where are you going for Christmas this year?

    Het ziet er zeer gezellig uit zo met je nieuwe kussens. Erg leuk gedaan met de strikjes en de 'mannetjes'. Hele fijne feestdagen voor jullie! Liefs, Claire

    Nu är det jul igen!!! How pretty your house look. Lovely cushions. Love the Santas creeping up from everywhere. :D.

    This will be my 11th Christmas abroad and with my own family... It has been a big journey - No 1 New Zealand, No 2 USA, No 3, 4, 5, 6 in Mallorca, No 7 Switzerland, No 8 Sweden and No 9, 10 and 11 here in beautiful Switzerland. Makes me reflect and wanting to write a pots about that... Hmmm...

    It is all white and Christmassy. I pray for the snow to stay. I truly love a white Christmas. Merry Christmas my dear!

    Hoi Maaike,

    Jullie kerstboom ziet er prachtig uit en ook de kussens mogen er zijn! Bijzonder jullie eerste kerst samen in Canada :-).

    Bij ons zijn de kerstdagen gevuld met een brunch op eerste kerstdag en een diner op tweede kerstdag. Beide bij ons thuis. Ik ben al druk bezig met alle voorbereidingen. Morgen nog even acher de naaimachine om een tafelkleed te maken en daarna breng ik denk ik flink veel tijd in de keuken door.

    Ik wens jullie hele gezellige feestdagen en een mooi 2012!

    Lieve groeten uit Rotterdam,

    Madelief x
