time off

I love doing nothing, or doing all these small things that there's usually no time for. This holiday was way too short (11 days, 2 days left now). I didn't get much time to do all the big and important things that I had planned, but at least I got time to see and do some of the small things.

Remember these guys? I found one of them on the floor the other night. He was covered in dust. I hope it wasn't me who had stepped on him. I put him on my desk so that he wouldn't get crushed once more, and in the morning he was gone.

My hibiskus (love the Swedish/Latin word for it, don't know it in English...) is in full bloom, totally unaware of it being the darkest time of the year.

I'm working on an Amineko amigurumi cat (I've just one ear and the mouth left - and the finishing and assembling, which I'm not that eager to do...). This is supposed to be the body. I wonder what opinion Freud would would have on this?

I've lost another wristwarmer. I don't feel like making a new one, I've still to finish the pair for Anna-Maria. I guess I should stop bringing them. At least when my purse is small and my mind is elsewhere.

My new favourite top with Valerina Tereshkova, the first woman in space, on it. One of the best Christmas gifts, which I'll actually use (chose it myself...). It's handprinted with love, by Eva-Kajsa Design (she makes gorgeous feminist prints).

Another favourite gift, for being genuine and handmade. Love the mysteriously nostalgic collage! Merci, Mathias!

Tonight is New Year's Eve. I promised to stay home with lillasyster (I'm a good girl, and a nice older sister - hopefully a bit like the one I always wanted), I guess I had my share of party Friday night. My resolution is to write (by hand!) every day in my journal. I'm already practising, and already failing.

Gott nytt år!
Bonne Année!
Happy New Year!
