You see, I was going to do was to make little packet cards for christmas and sell them to YOU. I made some, but I'm not happy with the result and today was my deadline. But I will see if somebody buys them at a christmas fair we go to with the kindergarten! It's different if you see them in real life. December feels nice. I will go to Berlin soon.
She's drawing birds. I am too. We also make origami and other paper works. Some sewing. (The machine is broken, a new one is on the way.) She's very productive, I am less. But we inspire each other.
December is almost here. I was an angel today.
I got the latest Milk déco in the mail this week. My 2 favourite photos in it. (This calls for a big :)) I love their cards, the childhood photos are such a sweet idea.
Today I have met with sweet M, seen all the christmas windows with the kids, met with another sweet M and her cute little boy.
Photos by "guest-blogger" Y. He took them yesterday evening.
It got colder and everywhere is bit by frost -- it feels strangely uplifting. It looks lighter.
The word frost makes me think of a Sonic Youth song and of Robert Frank.
I will go and have a look why little V is so quiet upstairs.
A haircut for little V. I decided again that he's a short-haired little guy. I think he is. I find myself a bit conservative here! But he's allowed to have long hair later on if he wants to. (He got this finland uniform shirt from the flea-market.)
I crocheted this little pillow-chair, actually in the summer, but now it finally got some filling. It's an old sheet. I'm quite happy with it!
The first book I ever made in the bookbinding class at my weekend school. The fabric is from Elisabeth! I always wondered whether to make a pillow case or a hat from it. I'm happy with this use! I'm gonna give the book to V for christmas, the paper is very good for drawing and painting ("steiner paper").
I don't get to play, I'm off to school. But have a nice weekend, you!
(I have my weekend on Sunday, then I'm going to read all the magazines. I was surprised to find Papier Mache # 2 at the book shop!)
On Sunday we went to pick up ONE kitten from a friend's house. Short version of the story is that we ended up taking TWO kittens home. Which means we now have FOUR cats. And that's something I never intended to happen. 2 is 2 but 4 is a herd. (Same with kids I suppose, if you have three of them you might as well have four.) They are a brother and a sister, we call them Nuppu and Siiri. V gave the name Nuppu (means a bud of a flower) to her favourite one (the light coloured one) and Siiri is my great-grandmother's name (or Sigrid for my favourite, I like to have a connection to something, someone with names). They are super sweet and wonderful ♡♡♡.
The bottom photo I just happened to see today, it is taken exactly 3 years ago. My baby! Little V is now wearing that coat and those mittens.
And I'm borrowing all 3 Soulemama books.
I think I have a new friend, I would say she's a friend.

Meille tuli 2 pentua, Nuppu ja Siiri. Oi miten ihania he ovat. En koskaan halunnut kissalaumaa, mutta sellainen meillä nyt on. Isot kissat ovat aika epäluuloisia vielä.
Ja sattumalta tuli vastaan kuva pienestä tyttärestäni tasan 3 vuotta sitten. Miten pikkuinen. Siinä on sitten myös pikkuveljen talvi-look.
