AAW SingleCable HandWarmers No2

The series of HandWarmers keep going on. 

My own design of our own AAW yarn.

So lovely to design and create from the yarn we have produced!

Tallinn, Estonia

We visited Tallinn, Estonia!

It is a beautiful old town by TheBalticSea.

I love TallinnOldTown.

We stayed in luxury St.Petersbough Hotel. It was really nice place with save gluten free food.

St. Nicholas' Church and Museum.

I really love the architecture and art you can find at the churches.

We were lucky and had half an hour listening to the organ music they plaid in there!

They had placed fabulous white&silver Christmas tree exactly there where you arrive into the church.

I fell in love with it...

...and each detail of it.

We visited also Alexander Nevsky Cathedral.

It was a nice little holiday!

WhispersFromXmas2017

  

 TheHoliDaySeason2017 if officially behind now. I have collected all the Christmas decoration away now... But to cherish the WinterWonderLand I left all the decorations that still are up to winter but not YuleTime. This DearLittleSnowMan I found and bought at a SecondHandShop on the last autumn. Now it has got some friends and a very own sled of his own.

There is no Christmas time without gingerbread house. This year YoungLady did it all on Her own.

She created a personal touch on it by placing a horse on the roof! She really could not resist to do so!

This Christmas I also made a gingerbread... Well, not a house but a small forest with trees, moose and hares.

GlutenFree DateCake is something we just must have over TheHolidaySeason. This time I bake three of them. One for parents-in-law, one for our YuleTable and one for a holiday season birthday party.

BoardGames are the best entertainment and they are a strong part of FamilyHolidays. Chess is one of the favourites when there's only two players available. This is very old ChessBoard. I actually bought it from Thasos, Greece almost 30 years ago! The plastic package is a bit wounded but the game itself could not be in a better shape! 

She loves YuleTime too. It is full of excitement... Sometimes too much for Her PhotoEffectiveEpilepsy. But still, just think about it: a real tree inside the house full of toys for her to play, pull out and chase after... Paper bags and boxes to hide... All those scents... And people staying all days AtHome only for Her comfort!

ChristmasTree 2017

Past years we have got our Christmas tree by Metsähallitus. It is Finland state-owned enterprise which use and develop state-owned land and water. You call to buy the 5,09€ permit to cut down a tree on a certain area. It is a great service they have developed! Here's few pics from our last ChristmasTreeAdventure.

  

The tree you desire for must locate by the road, not deeper in the woods. So, if you are not used to hike in the wild that is ok. You are not allowed to cut it down deeper anywhere but by the road.

Just look at His knife! Does it look familiar to you? I used it when designing Knife.

The tree is not allowed to be higher than 3m. There is also a practical purpose for this permit to cut down ChristmasTrees. It is part of the important thinning to make the forest grow better. When the trees are cut by the roads in this way it increases also traffic safety because the forest gets thinner by the road so people notice wild animals easier which may rush from the woods to the road. Of course it is a pity to crash at any animal by your car but reindeer and moose can be very dangerous because of their size.

Ta-dah, it's up there on the car!

She too likes to go into the woods. This year our adventure was placed in -15 Celsius degrees weather.

She could not live without going into the wild! When She gets HerAntennas on She knows where we are going to!

See how the wind has created the surface of the snow!

AAW Owl No2 HandWarmers

Here we go again. More my own design HandWarmers made of AAW. It seems here is a little factory going on!

AAW Owl No1 HandWarmers had an owl to decorate them. This pair has EagleOwl to decorate them. See the difference how they look.

So warm, so pretty but still not for me!
