Kertasníkir - 24. desember

The last one is Kertasníkir, he is the one that tries to steal candles. Today it is a tradition to put candles in your shoe in the window for him and then he will give you a bigger gift than the others.




I managed to finish the table topper, I got a magazine from Connie together with the SSCS gift and in it was this project, I fell for the stars and decided to use them.



This is how it turned out.



At last I want to wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy new year. I feel much richer after getting to know you, I hope we will keep on "seeing" each other the coming year.

Gudrun, I also enjoyed your Yulelad stories. I learn so much from reading my blogs. Your tabletopper is very beautiful. The last few times I have replied to your comments on my blog, I get a message telling me they can't deliver my reply. Are you getting them? Wishing you a Happy New Year!

Kim said...

Your dog is a handsome boy showing off in your blog title! I noticed that you mimicked the design from your quilt fabric in the machine quilting that you did. Nice touch to the quilt.

I will miss the Yulelads now that they are heading out until next year! Thanks for sharing the stories with us.
