January, plus a give away!

January brought the long awaited snow.


Oh how I love reflections...
However I am not a fan of that greenish hue the LED lights in the tree...

I went to see an endless sea of dots at Yayoi Kusama's In Infinity exhibit.
Beyond amazing.
If you ever have a chance to see an exhibit, go!

I also placed my dot in the Obliteration Room.
I think my favorite moment was when I was waiting to get into one of the mirrored rooms. This lady went by quickly glancing at the works on the wall. Her small daughter abruptly stops in front of the one with a green tunic on a hanger. The mom ties to get her to move, but the girl is transfixed... "Mom! It's made from macaroni!!"
I hope she went home and started gluing macaroni to paper :)


I started knitting Saara a pair of socks from the unicorn pastel yarn she chose.

Tulips are my therapy.

Dear friends, anyone in need of a pretty scarf?
This could be yours... 
Give me a really good reason and I'll choose the one that tickles my funny bone most :)

December

Catching up..still :)
Here goes December:

I attended a small miniature fair in an old villa by the sea.
We kept it classy.

We got to set up our tables in the most glorious light.




The upstairs of Villa Rulludd is a museum. Worth a visit, if you are going by.


Yes, I have a dirty mind.
These stickers came from a kids' magazine...
I lost it.

I love the December dark, you can see all the lights so much better.

I made orange, vanilla and rosemary marmalade for my colleagues.

I bought pretty red shoes, clicked my heels three times and wished for snow.
No luck.

With the sugar high from my favorite marmalades, we decorated the tree and I made very last minute Christmas cards.

Killer dessert... 
A tiramisu version of this cake (recipe in English) I made for Niina's confirmation.

The lights downtown were pretty even in the rain.

A little reminder for myself to slow down and enjoy it.

The flowers were white.
And frilly.

Rogue One.was.amazing.
I feel it's the best Star Wars movie out there.
