Package to Denmark

I have frantically been working on Christmas presents for the past month or so. Decided that many of my gifts this year should be homemade.  It still seems that Christmas is far away, but when you have the opportunity to get your shipment to friends and family in Denmark without the help of US Postal Services,  I really need to take it. That means that all packages have to be ready to send of in two weeks.  Still a way to go, but here is a little sneak peek at one of the little packages.


 Differs




 And here is




 


 The inner part of the cushion is made of one skein of the fabulous."Knit Collage". This particular one is the "Raindance".
The back and the rim of the cushion is crochet in a 100 % thick merino wool.  It was a lot of fun mocking and a little challenging to get the little sparkle items, that originally was part of  the Saries that this yarn is recycled from. 
Now you can buy it all around the world. I found my first skein in a little fun Art Store in the tiny town of Chester, CT ( normally don't sell yarn, but who could resist this?) and when I needed more for my Christmas presents I just googled "Knit Collage" and many many hits came up. I found a yarn store in my neighboorhood that stocks it. Etsy also has several sellers that sell similar items.

On this first day of October !

We have had brilliant Indian summer here and apparently it is continuing.
I just wanted to share a few pictures.
The one here of one of my favorite houses to admire from the outside. Just because it looks so pretty. The little pumpkins above the door is a nice little fall touch. I prefer a more modern style house, like I am used to from back home, but it doesn't change the fact that there is something very cozy about a house like this.  Stayed tuned for when they decorate for Christmas. It is out of a fairytale.


 


And then I couldn't pass this beautiful flower without taking a picture of it. 



 Happy  1st. of October.
