THE wallpaper to be

Today I found out the what's going to be the wallpaper for the living room wall that we're redoing next year: Kiku by Romo. I really hope that it's still possible to get it somewhere. Tomorrow I'll find out how I'll get it. Good luck for me! :)

Cross-Stiching Nerd wishes Happy Christmas

Today I finally finished my huge cross-stiching under-the-christmas-tree-mat! I've been doing it on-off for a couple of years now but about a month ago I decided to finally finish it so that I don't find it under the bookshelf still 5 years from now!

I'm a huge cross-stiching nerd and previously I've made a tower with a very gorgeous floral tribal decoration on the bottom. Sounds gay, but I gave it to my dad as a present and he's kept it in the kitchen for everyone to see since :) And this year he gets a little big bigger thing for Christmas. I hope with a hand-made gift like this he'll forgive me for traveling to Bali and Singapore for the holidays :D

I hope one day I'll get to make a huge pile of presents on this mat too, but this year my family in the north can do that for me.

A lot of times when a friend has called me in the past month and asked me what I was doing, the answer was typically "mummoilen" which means something like "grannying" in English. Doing grandma stuff :) And I'm 25!

But what can I say, grannying makes me happy. And I'd be happy to hear about a new hobby now that I think I'll have a at least 10 year brake from cross-stiching. I need something to do while watching TV. Make I restart making clothes.
