Secret Santa for bloggers 2015

Hello and Happy New Year everyone!
May this new year bring you love, joy,health,prosperity and anything you have dreamed and hoped for!
Today I am writing about this beloved habbit that Greek bloggers have got for about a couple of years- if I remember correctly that is:
The exchanging of gifts and wishes for Christmas and Easter which is something that all of us look forward to.
Zina from Efzin-creations is the one responsible for organizing all of it and I would like to thank her so much for that.
This year my Secret Santa was Katerina from Κυριακή στο σπίτι (which means Sunday at home in Greek -http://sundaysprojects.blogspot.gr/) and she sent me a beautiful handmade wooden candle holder along with a red candle and a card full of warm Christmas wishes.
I was really thrilled about this lovely gift which found a place at a corner of my living room very soon.

Thank you Katerina for your gift and thank you Zina for making once more the Secret Santa a wonderful event to look forward to!

Secret Santa is coming to...bloggers!

Hello everyone!
Hope you're feeling fine and that you are deeep into the Christmas spirit.
As far as I'm concerned I am very excited that finally holidays are here!
Of course, for me and some other bloggers the festive spirit was all around us many many days ago.
The reason: Two very inspired bloggers Zina from efzin and Gia from OnePerfectDay had the lovely thought to propose to us a gift exchange.
Without any hesitation, I was thrilled with the idea!
I couldn't wait to create something for a special someone secretly and to expect a little package for me into my mailbox!
So about a week ago I received an adorable little box accompanied with a very very cute card from Niki the one of the two bloggers from mommywiki.gr , a very interesting blog about kids, diy creations and many many more.
Niki made a handmade neclace with wooden beads in orange, white and beige especially for me

and she wrapped it in a box that was amazingly decorated.

 The card she made was lovely as well and full of Christmas wishes.
 Thank you Niki for being such a great Secret Santa!
 Happy Holidays to you and your beloved ones!

Diy felt christmas ornaments

Although I have to admit I've never been that much of a fan of felt diy creations (I mean I had quite a lot of different color pieces of felt fabric just hanging there in my closet that I didn't know what to do with them)  after a lovely workshop I took part recently and mentioned in a previous post and a little surfing on the Pinterest felt craft goodies I decided to give it a try and do a little extra decoration for my christmas tree.

All it  took me was some fiberglass, a needle, some thread, beads, ribbon, and felt of course!

First of all I had to choose the shape of the christmas ornaments.After a while the idea of christmas balls seemed the easiest thing to do and so I went for it.

I drew on a piece of paper a christmas ball and then I cut it. (A few blurry photos, sorry!)

I used this as a pattern for the ornaments and in order to have the perfect result I pinned this piece of paper onto the felt fabric which was folded in two.

Then I cut the felt balls carefully and I sewed them with a thread that was almost the same color as the felt 

fabric.I just left unsewed the top of it so that I could stuff it with fiberglass later on. 

After that I cut different colors of felt in the shape of a star (I used the same method as the balls-that is drawing a star on a piece of paper, cut it etc)

and I sewed it on one side of the christmas ornament along with a heart shaped bead.

Then I took small pieces of fiberglass and I stuffed them.

Finally, I sewed the top of the ornament putting a piece of ribbon in between.

Ta-dah!!(A clear photo at last!)

And the felt christmas balls are ready to be put on the tree!!

What a delightful moment!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone!!

May the new year fulfill all your dreams, even the craziest ones!
