My Secret Santa!

It's the second time I'm participating in the Christmas game Secret Santa for bloggers, which is organized by Zina and Ef Ζin.


It's a very fun game, in which each blogger is assigned to make, with love, care and holiday spirit a little gift for another blogger, while she will receive herself another handmade gift from her Secret Santa!

The best part of this game is when the surprise package arrives:


This year, my gift was from Maro, also known as Akamatra.
I feel a very special connection with Maro, because I succeeded her in organizing the Giveaways for the Etsy Greek Street Team blog.
When I started organizing these Giveaways, the truth is that I was really stressed out, but with Maro's precious advices and tips, everything got immediately easier...

After I read the wishes in the card, I tried to show some self-control and not open immediately the beautiful package! So, after I took a picture of it, I could reward myself by opening my present (see how nice I've been, dear Santa?):


How georgeous is this gift?
It's one of those famous, best-selling leather bow bracelets made by Akamatra, and actually one in my favorite color: purple!

Thank you so much dear Maro for this lovely gift and Zina for organizing this fun game, for giving us the opportunity to offer and receive joy with these surprise gifts!
Happy Holidays everyone!

DIY project: Felt Christmas ornaments

An easy DIY project I had published in my old blog for cute, handmade, felt Christmas ornaments:

Christmas Tree
 1) Draw the outlines on green, red, brown and white pieces of felt.
 2) Cut the figures: a tree, a star, a gingerbread man, an angel, etc...


3) Sew the details: beads on the tree and the star, eyes, mouth and buttons on the gingerbread, eyes and mouth on the angel.
4) Sew two sides of each ornament with embroidery thread, using the "blanket stitch":

blanket stitch

5) Leave one side unsewn and fill the ornament with a big cotton ball.
6) Then, finish sewing the contour. On the upper part of each ornament sew a piece of ribbon, to hang from the tree.
