soundtrack: fink – see it all

(Yes it’s always gray in Finland.)

November is the longest month. Lately I’ve been missing the Sea, and you know, wondering why I came back at all…

Blue morning light and my first Christmas ornament. I thought a postcard from Bremen would surely be from J. but no, it’s another mystery! What a coincidence, perhaps they met?

A friend is writing Nano and asked me for a writing prompt of ten words. You may use them too (or learn some Finnish):
punajuuri beetroot, pussittava baggy, nahkea leathery (or clammy?), surma death, nokoset nap, oivaltaa realize, turilas Tootletubs, uskollinen faithful, murjotus scowl, silmukka loop

The amazing Home project.

P.S. I am lost for new music lately, what are you listening?

A friend sent me this word to showcase a new ‘g’. I saved it as a background. Which makes us both not so optimistic people, I guess.

A mystery postcard from Canada, It’s #8 right? And still no clues!

soundtrack: Tegan and Sara – Red Belt (the new album is excellent)

First snow (November 5th, seriously!) and first cold (not THE flu). Two days under covers, I am all out of sleep now.

I watched this documentary the other day; made me more resolved to only shop fair trade organic from now on. I am saving up for a sewing machine as well, who knew they are so expensive? I want something basic but that will last me forever. Does anyone have suggestions for models? Or perhaps I should get a pre-used one… hmm.

p.s. look at these quilts!

soundtrack: Jennie Abrahamsson – I lost My Heart

Come and meet the new household addition. I forgot the brand already, but the plant lady said not to water too much, so maybe we will be okay.
