Tradition for 21 years: meeting my friends from school on December 23rd. It takes a whole night to catch up for the whole year. Always great to see everyone at least once a year!

Mehr Fröbelsterne
Twisting my ankle on Monday has forced me to take it a little easy, so I’ve gone into mass-production of Fröbel stars.

Weihnachtsbastelei – Crafts for Christmas
How to make a Fröbel star – Wie man einen Fröbelstern faltet (YouTube, no sound, so works no matter what languages you speak :-) )

Now I think I also need some in a blue-green-purple colorway.
