Wanderlust: Not-so-crafty Cami

The holiday season is in full force over here in Stockholm. Christmas music blasts from every speaker, white lights, ribbons and wreaths decorate the streets and shop windows, and the popular shopping areas of the city are over flowing with people... (what global economic crisis??)

I am making an effort this year to focus on more important things than presents and shopping. Mostly because I always just end up being stressed out trying to find the perfect gift for everyone.

Thanks to my crafty friends Fia and Anna, I have been getting in the Christmas mood by baking and making Christmas crafts together. On our baking night, the girls taught me how to make saffron buns (the most popular Christmas treat) and gingerbread muffins, a tradition I will have to pass on to my kids one day :)

On Sunday we had a craft circle at Fia's. It was then that I realized the full-extent of my crafty-ness handicap. While the other girls knitted scarves, embroidered, and stitched felt ornaments, I cut out a lame little paper Santa. Oh well, my strengths lie elsewhere.
