We're leaving to Viitasaari with Tahvo. Seeing that old swedish christmas card left me wondering: Could that pig-like creature, after all, be one of the first miniature pinchers? Tahvo says: What? Me!?

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 ;)
