Made With Marimekko - The Ball

Two weeks ago we had an event at the Marimekko Vancouver store.

We had some Christmas munchies like gingerbread cookies with blue cheese (they looked amazing and everyone loved the combination of flavors!), chocolate, candy canes and a drink from Sweden called Glögg which I fell in love with!!! (it was like defining the taste of Christmas... hard to explain but you should try it! I know Ikea has Glögg during this season!) 

For the crafts we had some paper chains for the kids with the lovely Marimekko paper... and we also had the Marimekko ball... we cut lots of fabric with seasonal color schemes and had them ready for everyone who felt like getting a nice ornament for their homes!

The one I did after all of our guests were gone is this one: 

 Here is a video from Marimekko on how to do the ball:

It has been a while since I post anything!

I could say I’ve been busy with work and especially with life, but no. I will not justify my procrastination habits.

Instead I would like to write about all that is going on lately.

First of all, I’m going to become a mommy! I am super excited with the news of adding a new member to our little family! My husband and I are very grateful for our new baby and we have been keeping a close eye to all the process and growth of our baby.

I’ve been crazy with work lately; I’m now working at designhouse and marimekko. It’s been good but a little hectic.

I haven’t really had time for much more. I have been occupied adjusting to this entire mom – to – be feelings and symptoms.

I’ve also traveled a lot during the summer. We went to Santiago’s cousin wedding and a month and a half later went to my little sister’s wedding!!!!

Oh God! So much has happened since April. (and lets not forget Pekka, she always keeps me busy!!)
