Merry Christmas!


Lämpö for Valokuvatortai.


This picture was taken around a year ago. My boyfriend's parents own this living room and the dog. With this picture I want to wish the best Christmas to everyone! Hyvää joulua! (Finnish) And of course Nollaig Shona! (Irish)

Brighter colours for grey winter days

The days are shorter and shorter even here in Ireland and the world outside of the house is grey. It's raining often or the sky is just full of dark clouds. It is so nice just to make a lovely fire and stay at home maybe watching your favourite TV show and of course eating lovely foods and drinking many litres of tea.





You could also spend your time knitting something bright to warm up your frozen feet. What would be nicer than a pair of socks or leg warmers? They would make a perfect Christmas present as well. These two projects are very very easy, but I think this kind of multi colours look the best with a simple pattern.
