Hey you out there.
Today is Christmas. It has snowed so much in the last few days that in this morning was the half of my front door snowed in. My cat wondered why he didn't come out. But after he tried to scrape away all the snow, he gave up and preferred to go to the warm wood stove in the living room and cuddle up on a soft blanket and now heβs asleep. I made myself some warm tea and comfortable on the old armchair with a good book. I made the tea from dried chamomile flowers and peppermint that I picked in my little garden in the summer. I love tea. And I love books. I also put on my favorite sweater today. It's really big, cozy and soft. My cat likes to cuddle up in it. Now the sun is shining on the white, glittering snow and two little robins are gathering on the bird feeder by the little cherry tree in front of my window. On the panes of my window are beautiful patterns from the frost outside. As if someone had painted it on it. Today my mom comes up to me from the village and will help me to prepare the meals and spend Christmas with me and my beloved cat. I'm looking forward to. I have to somehow clear the way of the snow at least as far as the garden fence. Then I want to wrap the present for my mom. I hope she'll like it. In the past few days I had already sent the presents for my friends and family as a parcel in the village. Also one for my pen friend. While I was reading the book, I put an old record on the record player with winter melodies and Christmas music. It's so cozy. The red and gold christmas baubles on the Christmas tree shine in the warm light of the fairy lights. I also hung some sweets and homemade jewelry on the Christmas tree. I am really happy to finally have the whole study behind me and finally to be able to rest and enjoy Christmas and winter. I love to walk around in nature and always come across beautiful hidden places. Whether in the middle of the forest, by the magical frozen lake or somewhere in the mountains. I'm also passionate about photography and it's always great to watch a wild animal in the snow or even take a great picture of it. For example, deer that run around in the deep snow. I feel like writing a little more on my stories on the old typewriter right now. Then I should begin cook the Christmas dinner. Iβm going to prepare rice pudding, cod with boiled potatoes and red cabbage, pastries, cranberries and cakes. I love to cook and bake. Maybe I should also sweep the dust off the bookshelves a little and put away the books that can still find a place there. Besides that, there are printed papers from the typewriter all over the carpet in the living room. When my mother and Iβll eat, Iβm going to put on our favorite Christmas record. My pen friend had sent me a package with a letter saying that I could not open the present until Christmas. When I did that today, I found lots of great Slytherin things in it. She even made a small Christmas tree pendant herself for me. Iβm so grateful to her and Iβm very happy about it. I hope she likes my present as much as I like hers. One thing, however, is very different from usual. Normally, my grandma would be with mom and me now. Normally we would enjoy Christmas Eve together, go to mass and eat the meal. Unfortunately everything is different now. My mom and me miss her so much. The grief haunts me and catches up with me again and again. Despite everything, we only have really happy and wonderful memories of her and she would definitely want us to have a wonderful Christmas and just remember her without being sad. When I was a little girl she always told me that if I can't find her anywhere and think that sheβs gone, she isnβt gone at all, but looks down on us like an angel and is always with us. No matter where we are. I mustn't forget that. I love you grandma. Very very much!
I hope you all have a nice Christmas Eve. I wish you that with all my heart.
Ellie :')

Iβm a slytherin guy
Now I want to tell you something about my Hogwarts House - Slytherin.
Β As is well known, Slytherin represents ambition, pride and cunning.
Again and again when I make the test on pottermore and many others, it came out that I'm a Slytherin. My big brother said it suits me very well because I'm very cunning and smart. But I donβt know what to say much about that. ;D But what I can say is that I'm really ambitious. For example in my studies. I have a lot to study and to read a lot of books, although I can't really call that "struggling through the books" because I actually love reading books. Sometimes it's just very exhausting, but I'm interested in what I'm doing. And that gives me strength and, above all, ambition to learn the material I have to learn. xD
But even in everyday life I often prove to myself that I am ambitious, because I often discover things for myself, these become my hobby and I am ambitious to create something for it. Like teaching myself healing herbalism, you know - herbs and mushrooms and stuff.. ;D But even though I'm writing a book, I'm still ambitious to finish it. I also showed a lot of emotional ambition, especially when I was a teenager. Ambition just gives you so much power. More power than you think you have at first. I keep noticing that in myself.
Anyway, I'm very happy and proud to be part of the Slytherins. I like all aspects of Slytherins. Good or bad, I love Slytherins. In the end, it's just an incredibly great and magical story. If I were at Hogwarts
I would be extremely and especially interested in Potions at Professor Snape because I just find potions so magical and mystical. But I would also read a lot about dark arts, magic - stuff like that, oh- AND about Quiddich. Not necessarily because I'd belong to the dark side, although that wouldn't be...let's say- not impossible. xD
Well, at least I would be very interested in mystical,Β udiscovered, secret and hidden magic, especially in potions. In my free time at Hogwarts, instead of brewing potions and reading books, I would love to play Quiddich. Preferably as a chaser or a seeker. My pet would definitely be my cutie but sometimes evil black cat. <3 My Patronus (I also found that out in the Pottermore test) is a ferret. I think it's great! And most of all I would love to be able to speak Parseltongue and own a snake!! I love snakes!
What about you?
Have a magical day! Ellie ;3
Season of Adventβ₯
I'm already in such a cozy winter mood! Where inside at dusk you sit in the warm light of the lamp in the old armchair and comfortably cuddled up in a cozy blanket, drink a hot tea or punch and read a thick book. Sometimes you look out of the window next to your Armchair into the thick snow that is outside on the windowsill and in the garden and watch how the dark blue sky gets darker and darker. Then a small blackbird or blue tit run across the snow and leave small tracks in it. And you cuddle up in your warm cozy blanket, sip your delicious tea and bury your nose again in the many letters of the book and immerse back into the story. The only sounds you hear are the soft crackling of the fire in the little carmine and the purring of your cat, who has curled up comfortably on your lap and is enjoying the pre-Christmas mood and silence as much as you do. I love to do this every evening <3 What about you? Have a magical season of Advent; 3 Ellie
It rains more and more often
But as soon as evening and finally night comes, the rain turns into thick snow, so the rain cannot win. I find such weather very cosy, because then I can snuggle up in my cozy little house with my cat and read books and drink teaβ₯
- I love tea. And I love books. But most of all I love my cat <3
I love Lofi music so much. It helps me a lot to come down, relax and think positively. Above all, it always makes me dream wonderful.
Idk how Minecraft can be so beautiful :0
I LOVE this song!! You gotta check it out!!
One of my fav ^ ^
Alex & Steve - the invincible best friends
They are Β inseparable as thick and thieves and nothing in the magical world would separate them. They stick together until the end and are always there for one another. Together they can make the impossible possible and make their dreams come true. Whatever where they go: through caves, Mienechests, the Nether or the end, they defeat all monsters and get through it! - Together :)

I painted this out of boredom with my alcohol markers, but my stupid old printer ruined the scan!Β >:(
I used a painting that I found on the Internet for orientation and inspiration :].
Hey I'm Ellie. You can find a bit of everything here. I love to realize my memories, thoughts, and deepest feelings in my creativity. ..Ugh! This is a mess! But I'm still like it here. So if you like to, you are warmly invited to stay. >.
