Colouring

 A bunch of colourpencils, some designs on paper and just start colouring!

I love making things, and customizing your own decoration. So I designed a little project to make your own Christmas decoration by colouring. It is a small set of 6 circles which you have to colour yourself. I found it quite calming to do, and enjoyed picking and combining colours.

I have made three designs which I put in my Etsy-shop, I hope lots of people will enjoy this project:

With the radio playing in the background it was a good meditative thing to do. And I like the result anyway ;). I made some other colour combinations and I have an idea what to do with them.

Starting with bits and pieces:

Dutch woodwork

In a museum I saw these beautiful clogs made with care, attention and creativity. This craft still exists and there are people and children who wear them, but they are a minority. It is mostly sneakers and boots nowadays here in the Netherlands.
These clogs are painted, chipped (woodcarving) or with a special design with heel for the special days:
