Meet Alma

I am not sure if this has happened to you, but sometimes when I have a clear plan what I am going to do I somehow manage to get myself completely sidetracked, and something totally different from my actual plan is created. This is quite close to what happened this weekend, and Alma was born.


I was actually planning something else (bunnies were in my mind but not Alma), but when I was finished, there she was:


She has a special hand knitted smohair (yes, smohair, pretty close to mohair but better she says) Holiday-dress on, her best peppermint-necklase and the special red bag to carry a very important letter to mailbox...


 ... It is to Santa (and we all know Santa lives in Korvatunturi)!


But what I am not sure is if the letter ever gets sent in time; Alma is the sweetest little bunny but she, just like me, gets sidetracked pretty easily, and can be found dreaming of Christmas here and there - the letter still in her bag!


I wish you all loved meeting Alma, and if I just can let her (and her sisters and brothers) go in a few days, the will jump into my shop. Maybe you can help her to mail that precious letter?

Lovely Monday!

Yours,
Mia

Dear Robin,

Thank you for your lovey comments! Alma is not in my shop yet, she is still napping on a shelf near my working table :) and she and her siblings will be in my shop during this week, hopefully tomorrow or Wednesday! I will tell you all about them here first, so see you here soon again!

Lovely Monday!

I'm reading backwards again. She's lovely, bet she flew out of the shop. The details are just spot on, how cute is her letter and little peppermint necklace! Bxx

No voi himpula, Lilli, isot pahoittelut kömmÀhdyksestÀ! YleensÀ AINA nappaan uusien lukijoiden nimen linkkiÀ, josko löytyisi blogia ja muuta, mutta taisin olla niin pupu-huumassa ettÀ jÀi kurkkimatta! Tervetuloa siis blogiini, ja paljon terkkuja sinne SeinÀjoelle, ja toivottavasti sinnekin saadaan pian lunta! TÀÀllÀ on nyt enempi nuhja-suoja-keli, taitaa sulaa nÀmÀkin vielÀ...

Iloisen torstain-toivotuksin Mia

Aivan ihana!

This time of the year...

Usually around this time, when children go back to school, and you can just about to smell the autumn, I start to dig deeper in my fabric...
