It has been a different year, 2020, but the Christmas spirit is here. On December 13th, the darkest night of the year, in Sweden, a light comes in the shape of a girl dressed in white with candles on her head, announcing that Christmas is here!!! How wonderful!

It is almost Christmas so I started to think of hearts. This is a coaster for the Christmas table of somebody. It was fun to make, it is almost symmetric! It was hooked with only yarn, new mode for me!

I like to work on round shapes, it is interesting. In this particular one , I just started to make the blue of the lake or sea, and build it up, and voila , there it is my imaginary place. The sunset is really orange, I like it!

This fall has been so beautiful here in Bucks County. There is no end in the beauty. Love to make reflections, I think this came out quite good! It is for the American Swedish Historical Museum, as a donation for the Christmas raffle.

This was one one fun piece to felt from a picture I took of the covered bridge. Actually, PA is one of the few states that still have such bridges. The colors of the fall are amazing this year , and I tried to reproduce them the best I could. This is going to a online show at the Arts @Cultural Council of Bucks County.
