14.12.

For some reason I've felt like that poor cat for couple of days. I have no idea why (It might be beacause the snow has melted AGAIN? What is this? A conspiracy to make me feel down?). It's like the earths attraction pover is too much for me (I so have sympathy for that little chap in todays card!) Well I did make a few cristmas cards for my lovely friends, so I'm not 100% paralysed . If I was more myself I would be all excited about the old rented house that the christening was held today. It's the only building in Mikkeli city centre that has been preserved from 1880 and has a really interesting inner courtyard with sheds and storehouse. I snapped a photo from an embroidered woollen fabric hanging on the wall.
And look at that dot by the photo...I tried to make it disappear, but there it is, just laughing at my misery.

The wear a birdhat day


I embroidered this lime (it doesn't look lime now) fabric with the creatures from my doodles = Sir bunny and Worm. It's a semi-evil joke about all the "special" days we have in our calendar year nowadays for example The Cinnamonroll Day (Oh, that's a Swedish day - I'm not kidding) So you get the picture. I really liked the calming slowlines of embroidering. I'm not sure yet what it will be, but I'm pretty sure I will make more. Practise makes perfect too...I made buns with sunflower seeds and cheese on top. (I bake mainly ugly-looking-but-eatable bakery goods) The day was cold but dry fall day (the perfect weather for me!) and the warm buns and tea made my day when I returned from our walk with my dog.

Walking trough the forest with Tahvo was really nice because of the colourfull autumn leaves and all kinds of mushrooms and toadstools! Fall is in the air!
