SiL's Advent Calendar Day 5, 7&8


I got the missing picture! and it looks sooooo cute it deserves a larger format:


5 is one of my favourite bags, with all the reindeer, and then the snowstorm behind and the lights :)

It is a shame that I did not get 7 and 8 (ehem ehem). Sis you owe me two pictures.

To compensate the lack of pics for days 7 and 8 I am posting this two videos.

This is old, but it wonderful:


and this is new and supercute:


So many reasons for the season this year!

SiL's Advent Calendar Days 3-6 TV Edition

And the work week starts and my purpose goes to hell with it...

Days 3 to 6 come with a gap, so I hope my sis is cooperative and sends the missing picture.

 Now that I see this pictures I realize this looks like some simple crafting work, but by the time I had done gift bags 1-6 I was exhausted!

So to fill up this four day gap I decided it might be a good idea to go back to one of my classic posts! TV goodness yay!

2012 has brought me four fantastic discoveries which I am more than happy to share with you, they are freaky, they are girly and they are awesome!!

So I am taking this opportunity to thank Anuska for suggesting some of this, for making me keep my faith in David Tennant (who proved better than Matt Smith despite the powerful tandem he makes with Amy Pond)...

And here you have the shows that have made me rethink my TV shows ranking:


5.- Here comes a silly family show that kept me stuck to the screen during the first season (still have not had time to watch season 2), but that Beauty and the Beast episode was plain awesome:


4.- It is dark and disturbing, and the characters are all emotionally crippled and wrong, but what a show. Thanks to my iPad I am learning to love BBC shows, and this has to be one of its best shows of late. John Luther you rock.



3.- Moving on from one Belle to other belles, I love the southern groove of this show, and the boy next door (you just have to love him). Nice clothes, nice music, the right amount of drama, and a Gilmorish aftertaste. Hart of Dixie is one show for bad days.


2.- And now for the top two! Outside the government, beyond the police... Torchwood has caught me. And season three was one of those that keeps you watching until 2 am and you don't care.


1.- Finally, a classic of old, a show that reinvents itself every few seasons, I could say sooooo many things about it, about that blue box... All I will say is this: Trust him, he is the Doctor.


Any shows for 2013 you may want to share?

I am thirsty for ideas!!

Such is Life.

PS: I am decorating my Christmas tree on Saturday and I feel giddy, Sis!!

SiL's Advent Calendar Day 2

Day 2 comes accompanied by this cuteness of a picture, also with the though that I just got my fit in the biggest puddle of mud that ever existed.

Now I have to post everyday. Again.

So this is going to work like a post-athon, only I hope my sister will collaborate this time and send me a picture of each day's little gift (at least the good ones ;P).

In addition, I promise to post something fun too.

You may or may not remember this post: 21 days for Christmas from last year, well, this year I am going for something different...

Now that I am a proud owner of the best place ever (and not because I say it) this year I went for home decor instead of Christmas lights, which would not please my neighbours at all.

In my permanent search for inspiration I found this video. Judging is all up to you.


Yeah it's nine minutes long, but you get it by the second minute.

Oh so inspiring.

Merry second day of advent!

Such is Life!

SiL's Advent Calendar Day 1 (in colab with Sister)

The downside of being so excited about Christmas this year is that I have had to wait almost a month to show you this:

The 2012 supercrafted awesomestest Advent Calendar!!

Not to be enjoyed by me, because I am such a good sister.

Just between my first and second visit to Stockholm I decided to make my own advent calendar for my sister and her boyfriend. So I bought all the materials and started working on it. And it was a looooooong process, washitape and stamps, twine and numbers and... Oh sh*t, 22 gifts to include in it.

22 and I am broke, still paying for my bed, the living room and now my super awesome blinds made to measure blinds.

Day 1: A crippled cow.

It is not my fault that it lost a horn, and by the time I realised it was too late to fix it!

So friggin excited about Christmas I have managed to get all my family to tape a videoclip, just as the Kesler family, only with a lot more sense of humour and a lot less self conciousness.

I don't know if I am infringing any intellectual property rights if I post their video, so check it up yourselves in Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISJvrOezu3Q

 You will never get to see the result of my first incursion at video directing, and video producing, but I guarantee that those who see it love it!

More to come tomorrow if my sister is nice enough to send me a picture!!

Deck the halls! Better watch out!

Christmas in Such is Life!
