So, I have decided to make the presents this year, I feel that I am comfortably enough with my creativity so make this happen. I had a lot of leftover candles that I got from my mom and collected myself. Johnny and I burn a lot of candles and they never burn to the end, so we are always stuck with leftovers.I have described the process in an earlier post: Making Candles.  This post is just the show off ;)[Show as slideshow]Unlike last time, I decided to decorate them. After all of the candles were completely done, I did some decoration. Some candles I just simply dipped in a different or same color, half way or all the way. The candles with the dots were done with a toothpick dipped in wax and then applied to the candle. The vertical striped candles were painted with wax. The horizontal stripes/splats were done by having a spoonful of wax and then gently dripping it on the candle while turning the candles to the side. And thats that :)Filed in Candles, Christmas|Tagged Candles|Comments (0) »Geoff Berner at The Cove14-Dec-09On tuesday, 8th of December, Johnny and I went to a small and intimate concert by Geoff Berner and more.I meet Johnny after work in Gamla Stan, and we went for something easy to eat. And went looking for the place the concert were supposed to be, The Cove, Stockholm. It was hard to find, but worth it! This was the third time Johnny and I went to a concert with Geoff Berner.We arrived quite early, the band members of the other band playing, were still practicing a little. But we still sat down and ordered a Kilkenny each. We got to talk to Geoff, which was awesome. He is little guy with a fun appearance.More people showed eventually up, and we took a seating in a comfy sofa. A while later, The Magnificent Seven started playing. They were great! Playing on accordion, violin, saw, melodica and a cello, and a nice vocal. We chatted a bit with Geoff, he sat next to us during the performance from The Magnificent Seven. The Magnificent Seven will release an album during spring of 2010, and I plan on buying it.Then it was time. In this tour, Geoff had with him Wayne Adams and Diona Davies. Wayne played the drum and the occasional cymbal. Diona played violin, she was great. And Geoff had of course his accordion. The whole performance was great :)Geoff Berner is an awesome live performer. He gathers the whole audience and make them sing along and buy him whiskey. For after all, he is the whiskey rabbi. There were many great songs, some sad, some happy and some which made you want to dance like a crazy little monkey.The concert at The Cove, was the last place to play on the “Drunk and Dancing Europe Tour”. I will look forward to the next time he plays somewhere near me, and I will be sure to be going there!Filed in Concert, General|Tagged Concert, geoff be
