This card is by Beatrix Potter and very sweet. White ice coating is all over the trees and, well, everything outside. So it's beginning to look like christmas ;) HAPPY! I also made a doll for the little girl that got name last sunday. I'm going to visit her (and her mother) tomorrow and we are going to make candy for little presents..."The unicorn went that way!"

(The doll is a very fine lady having her hair made out of scrap of upholstery fabric from a sample book, has her socks patchworked from numerous fabrics. Vintage lace from an old pillowcase as her petticoat and the collar I've knitted from some mohair blend I happened to have just a suitable, little clew.)

PS: the doll had a lot of misfortune while I was making it. This for example is her third head :D! The first one had woollen hair and it was ok, but then I accidentally painted the face to look like the Joker in the newest Batman movie and of course I was not aiming that. So desperate times were suffered. The next head wasn't much better. I also took away a pocket I had attached to the dress. It was too much and not so pretty. But conquered all this I'm stronger and more together person than before ;)

Really nice weekend and now waiting for snow

I had a lovely time this weekend! Thanks to my guest of honor: Raisa. In that picture she's (proudly) presenting the lap top bag we designed and made today and yesterday for her new lap top... Oh and Tahvo is there too wondering if he could lick that wonderfull human being just once more. We also started to sew tunics for ourselves, but they are not yet finished.

We also talked a lot, among other thing movies, and now I'm waiting to see "War inc." as well as "August Rush" and "The Son of Rambow". We also ate well and drank some vine and watched the movie about the talented artist Beatrix Potter and it was okay, but the drawings she made were and are magnificent. I had one of her books when I was little, but I didn't realize how inventive and subtle the pictures are. Also the artist was a freak in her times, because she denied marriage, earned her living and was the ruler of her own life. That makes her even more admirable for me.
