Pretty Ducky

We need to play this, but we've been slammed with a lot of work lately. Plus travel.

 

I Painted Pottery

Leonora and I took a trip over Thanksgiving and visited lots of pottery shops. One of them let us tour and then make our own. It was fun, and I get to use the mug whenever I want.

 

Tiny Portmeirion Boxes

When Andreas ordered some other things for our dishes, he snuck this in as a Christmas gift.

 

Pens

Andreas gave me pens for Christmas in my stocking. He knows my weakness.

 

Motherboard Necklace

Tracy's creation has combined my love of jewelry and love of industrial design.

 

Nail File

Andreas thought I needed a new glass nail file for Christmas. So be bought one for me and one for Leonora.

 

Moons Over Mushrooms

These little mushrooms are ready to gift now.

 

Netherlands Swap

My first swap was with the Netherlands, and I was spoiled! Jason gave me so many things! 

 

I've Been Mugged

I bought this mug for myself at the pottery factory in Boleslawiec. It's got peacock feathers and is pretty.

 

Scotland Snack Swap

Snacks from Scotland. Andreas turned out to really love the Border cookies, so I need to find more.

 

Marine Ball Gifts

The gifts at the Marine Ball were very nice mugs.

 

Heavy Magnets

Cute little star magnets from Boleslawic. Unfortunately they're too heavy to stick properly to the fridge.

 

Christmas Gifts from Leonora

Leonora found some wonderful things for me! I love them all and have been using them. Thank you again, Leonora!

 

Moon Phases

I saw this pattern and fell in love with it so I bought the kit.

 

New Journal

Found a new journal I liked on Amazon. It's mine now.

 

Afghan for a Baby

Lots of embassy babies. This one was for a little girl born in November.

 

Ipsy Advent

This is what I got from Ipsy for Christmas.

 

Ink Calendar

Andreas decided on an ink calendar for advent this last year.

 

Historical Sampler Co Advent Calendar

When I ordered this, I thought it was actually about the advent pattern they had and a kit. I was wrong. It's a rather ... eclectic collection.

 

Drone Over Whitby

Andreas got some spectacular photos from his drone at Whitby.  It was kind of cute following us on our walk from the abbey to the car park.
