The last day of a year,

So, here we are. This long waited day has finally arrived. Last day of a year 2010. In some hours we will have nice dinner and talk. We will listen good music and spend time with friends and family.
It is also time to look back what has been happen during 2010. For me, it has been bit bumpy year, but most things there is what I would never ever regret, some things on the other hand...
Most interesting I must admit is, that I and my friend started our own company. Something, what I never thought I would do, because, I have often thought, that I am not made of that material, what need to have to start the company. Now, by the end of a year, our company has grown so much and we have grown together with our company. That is incredible. It feels actually very good.
During this year has happened also some sad things, but life is like that. Good and bad walks hand-by-hand together and we can't change any of that much.

If I take all my year together, when I must say, it is like most others have had it. Bumpy, but would not change any part out of it. As they say, what does not kill us, makes us stronger and wiser.

A Dummy ;P

 In Monday after I had been at work and wanted to take shower I was for a short moment by the sink in bathroom. Suddenly I got the surprise and a company there. Someone needed to wash himself as well there :) 

Christmas sponge cake,

 For the christmas day for lunch I made a sponge cake. For at give christmas taste, I was put again cinnamon and cardamom and also bit ground cloves. It made the sponge cake to taste and smell as christmas. I wanted to add also spice for ginger bread, but they had sold it out, so I had to stay with the spices I got. I also added a little marzipan to dough and it left a soft taste. Since I wanted to get some colours into the cake I used a pieces of candied fruit. Result was actually very good and best was it together with ice-cream. in the top before I was put it to oven I was put bit pearl sugar and chopped almond. 

Christmas fruit cake,

In christmas eves morning I baked a christmas fruit cake, so that we could have something good for coffee we had after we had packed open all our presents. The taste for cake was christmas as well as it had christmas smell. I think the smell came from cardamom and cinnamon mix. I must admit, cake tasted well as well :P All who had it liked it :) Fruit what was used in cake was blueberry and blackberry.

Christmas morning,

It is morning after Christmas eve. Yesterday was so wonderful. Good time with family and good traditional Christmas food. Today morning it just was hard to open my eyes, because it was so nice and warm to be in bed :)
Today morning started with coffee and same time with preparations for Christmas lunch, because Tommy's brother will come as well with his family today.
Right now, when to look outside, it feels like real Christmas. It is minus degrees outside, and it is snowing. It just feels perfect and wonderful Christmas, when it is white and more perfect, when even it starts to snow as it does now. I must admit, there is a lot of snow already :) When I went outside to raise the flag, I saw how much there was the snow :) But it does not matter that there comes more snow. As more it comes as better and nicer it is :) Inside it is warm. candles are burning and Christmas music is playing. There is not much else what to want. All feel s so good and so nice.
Have a Wonderful Christmas day all of you. And be happy :)

Merry Christmas,

Merry Christmas my dear family and friends as well as my other blog readers. I hope you will have a very very nice Christmas with all your family.
Finally this long waited day arrived, at least I have waited it. It is a time to slow bit down and spend time with family. For me it is my third Christmas in Sweden with my boyfriend and his family. It has been nice to spend time away from city and just relax in countryside. It gives possibility to think more and relax from the busy days.
Today we will visit also church yard as tradition we have. Only it makes me bit sad, because I cant visit my mothers grave and she is totally alone there, but she is on my mind at least. And I will light a candle to her here at home.
So, my wish to all of you is have a very nice Christmas. Soon will Santa also come.

Have a Merry Christmas Everybody!

I just wanted to share with all my friends and family and to my blog readers a nice Christmas song. It is just small things what matters and makes us happy and that song is just beautiful. Merry Christmas.

Unbelievable,

Unbelievable :D Today morning I had experience of something what you could see mostly every other morning probably, but the most times you can see it just a little time before some bigger parties. Biggest queues in Sweden in the mornings at 10 o'clock is to Systembolaget :D That should indicate, that alcohol is not very expensive or people just has a problem with alcohol :D And the amounts what is leaving the shops are not small :D Seems like people think that there is not any other day after tomorrow :D

 

 

Black Christmas table cloth,

Today I made one more present for Christmas. A black christmas table cloth. I started to like it, because the colours was somehow clear when I saw the end result. It makes so much fun to play with the colours :) Just to try something new :P Only thing was, that my Smarty played a dummy little. It did not want in one point to work as I wanted, but in the end it went well and it worked as I wanted :) Here is the end results:
