Very lazy weekend

I've been relaxing the whole weekend and planning the "christmas calendar" of this blog. I've found a beautifull vintage card for each day. I just love christmas! (though I'm not a religious person). I like the idea of giving, good food and calming down, reading books and being with your loved ones. I'm hoping that the snow we have doesn't melt (like it looks like now), because one important part of Yule-tide succes is snow and pure white land scapes of my home town. And skiing and sleding!

Just getting to the mood with a little help of (I believe a French) band called M83 (as you can see for yourself;)). Must say I didn't like the music as much I loved this PERFECT cover art...

More knits and snow

This one made me smile!!! Thanks to Megan Reardon.

Really beautifull neck warmer from the blog "Viiniä ja villasukkia". Like the buttons that are assorted :)

I like big knit coats and this design from the Twist Collection web magazine. I suggest that you check this and this other gem too "Amber". I'm knitting the old ones like the knitting needels were on fire ;) so I could start something new!!! I'm actually dreaming of the green one I found from this blog: It's crocheted and looks pretty fast to do (the yarn looks really thick, I believe Novita's Mambo would do). I think it would be nice to wear to a christening we were invited last night. (You know I really don't have anything to wear! Must make something!)

I'm waiting for my friend to arrive to the bus station so I can fetch her and then we're going to have a relaxing weekend of leisure. I have to get going in a half an hour. And outside there is a winter wonder land waiting for me (I took this picture a few hours ago):greetings from Tahvo - Wuh!

Snow! Is that snow?

Tahvo looks so poetic. He looks to the distance and dreams of far away places.. full of nice dog ladies?

And YES! I believe that's snow, alltough there is no much (I might not go skiing yet). We had a refreshening morning walk under the cold and misty winter sunlight. One of the reasons I like this neighborhood is that the nature is so close (and I have only 2 kilometers to the city centre where I work.) We've been looking for a bit bigger home (now having 49 m2 for 2 adults and a dog)), but finding a home at a better location is giving us grief.

My day has began very nicely. I did nothing "usefull" this morning, I read the culture pages of my newspaper and drank two cups of coffee and knitted a bit one of the hats I'm making for the TRIPLETS my workmate's daughter is having early next year!!!
