P A P E R decorations {patterns}

We still don't know where we'll be for Christmas. Not only, we are still unpacking since we just moved. We really don't have much, we need furniture, lamps, all kind of things. And.. I don't think we'll have a Christmas tree this year.. I know sad.
But I like this ideas of making things yourself with p a p e r. Little resources, it's exactly where I'm at and I really love this ideas and patterns by artist Jurianne Matter.

My absolute favorites are this adorable angels. I love to read the words of Jurianne Matter in the making of this adorable little pieces and finding out where they ended up. I can see how each one of them is so precious to her.

{everything by the great artist Jurianne Matter. Her Angels are available for purchase. Find it here.

How lovely she even gave out the pattern for the Paper Christmas Tree and the pattern for the Danish Paper stars} {via Decor8}

personal calendar, or time for a journal {tutorial}

I feel like it gets harder everyday to be able to do everything you have in mind. One of the things I'd like to be able to do again, is to write my journal in a regular bases. But.. yea.. I'm certainly not there yet.
Maybe that's why I love so much this idea! I think it is genius. Few words, and there you go. Sometimes that's all you need, an organized piece of paper to write on..

It looks very easy to make. I think it is a great idea for a gift. This great idea and tutorial is by Design Sponge.

{little-project} will start this year

The past year I've been collecting little projects I want to make for our kids, and with our kids. Due to the fact I'm not even pregnant with our first this might sound a little crazy, but I don't care. This year as soon as I can I'm gonna start something and I can't wait.

This are a couple I've just added to the oh very long list. I just love the colored tee-pee and the fact my husband when I told him about it, said we should make one in our living-room even now just for ourselves :) Love my honey sooooo much!
Strawberries are my favorite, so I think this one is more for me hahaha :)

{calendar} 2010

I love calendars. I don't know why. I still have to figure it out.

I usually have around more then one, and usually it's cause I love the pictures on it. I love those big photography of food delights for my kitchen, cute drawings for the bedroom, and some of beautiful Swiss scenery (since I'm faraway) for the living room.
But don't take me wrong, beside the pictures I'm that kind of person that has to write down everything to not forget them. So I do have my lists all over the places. I do prefer calendars by far.. ooh every year I need to make sure I don't "over collect" them hahaha :)

Here is a calendar 2010 for you to make your very own, provided by Something's Hiding in There. To download and print go directly on their site here.

How lovely and nice to make this available for everyone :) thank you!

{Natale*Christmas} new colors!

I'm a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas. I pretty much like the old stuff. Red rouffles, white lights, wooden decorations, real greens, all with a bit of sparkle.

But I have to say, if I would change my style I think I would go with this ! I love, love, love this decorations, everything about it. I just don't know how much pink my husband could handle :)

I heart the amazing space of light Yvonne from Yvestown uses in her own living. With some bright colors, simplicity and even more bright white space, I think that's what I like the most.

I love how she combines traditional to new design. The beautiful Weihnachtspyramide that made me dream every Christmas growing up, with a background in new patterns of light greens and pink. Also you can find a cute pattern for this adorable clogs provided by Jenny at AllSorts , via Yvestown.

I know once you take a look you'll just keep going back to it :)
