Tomorrow is Christmas Eve – I can’t believe how fast December flew by. Can you?

I am looking forward to some relaxing days with my little family and a bit of celebration. All in all it will be a bit quieter than the last years and I think I might enjoy that.

At Christmas we always watch a sketch from our favorite comedian Loriot who imagined the saying you see in the picture above. It translates to „In the past was more tinsel!“ , which grew to a familiar quotation in family. Although none of us really likes tinsel!

Snowflake

Today’s pattern is the little snowflake you can see next to my tinsel quote and was much easier created than i thought.

You can use any yarn with matching hook and get different colours and sizes (similar to the baubles of Sarah you can find at Day 13).
