*the tree

Before I am heading back to bed (got fever over night) I wanted to show you our lovely tree and wish you a wonderful Christmas!!!

*winter tones

We have snow since four days now - in between it also rained but it stayed cold, so our surrounding transformed into a surreal looking ice garden. It definitely helps getting into Christmas spirit!

The downside of analogue photography surely is, that I can never show current pictures, so these are from the beginning of the month.

Our Christmas tree is also finally decorated, Christmas cookies are baked, I only need to finish packing the last gifts, then I feel ready for the holidays! I have to say this December really went by in a crazy speed!

*the cold

Cold and dry weather is a lot easier for me to handle than only gloomy and wet weather day in, day out. Today is a holiday in Austria. I made some changes in the bedroom to make place for the Christmas tree. I also made paper stars for the window and put some fairy lights into a glass jar to use as a bedside lamp. A friend of mine surprised me with lot's of vintage Christmas tree decoration from her grandma. I felt like a child opening the parcel!

*frost

It's colder again! These pictures are from two weeks ago, when the sun was just rising and everything was covered with a layer of frost. I try to shoot one 35mm film per week. Photography helps me to keep a positive focus, to transfer feelings, it motivates me to leave my home when everything seems to be difficult.

*Baby blanket

Last month I made this baby blanket

for my little nephew.

I wish him all the love in the world,

brave fighter he already is!
