20.12.2011 Oh no, I broke a mug!

Oh no, I broke my sister's mug! I liked it so much that I seriously couldn't just throw it away. Luckily I remembered that my sister didn't have this thingy (what is it called?) to put under the teapot! And I decided to make her one. I bought that wooden thingy from a recycling center and it cost 1,50€.

P.S.

Neighbours must have been excited about the noise I made when I smashed the mug (or what was left of it) with a wine bottle... Haha.

17.12.2011 Someone knows I love the Moomins!

Ooh, it's so cute and I love that shade of green! And I just love to get real mail, really made my day. Thank you, my dear friend.

By the way, what's the new thing with the little suitcases? I used  to have "The Muppet Show" suitcase as a medicine box, and a bit after that I started to see cute little suitcases everywhere! They are way too cute!

One day, when I'll have my own flat again (and some money), I would also like to get real, old suitcases and store all my fabrics in them. I saw this idea in some decor blog and it looked soooo cool.

A bit like this:

Christmas Cards 2011

 

15.12.2011 Christmas Cards 2009

I've totally forgotten to update my blog lately and it's almost Christmas! So here's some Christmas cards I made few years ago. One of my Christmas traditions is to make the cards myself, not to buy the ready-made cards. It's wonderful to listen to Christmas songs and spend hours and hours just crafting! This year catching the spirit hasn't been very easy, and a look outside just makes it worse... Still no sign of snow!!! Luckily there's snow in my home village already, so I will have a White Christmas and hopefully the Christmas spirit comes with the sight of snow, too.
