Paa-pa-pa-paa-pa Maa-ma-ma-maa-ma

I haven't quite lost it yet, I just wanted to  give you an ear worm share this rather catchy song with you (just listen until the chorus!) as it's been singing in my head all day. Why? I have been sorting and trying to destash my oldest (and dearest!) fabrics, and I also went through my Moomins too. I had quite a stash a few years ago, and I actually was a pleasantly surprised how much less  small it was now. But too much still, I love Moomins, oh I do, but there's just no space for all my fabrics anywhere. So it's time to get some out there to you, other Moomin-fans, to see and maybe to purchase too.


Starting with some pouches and matching (naturally!) keyrings, I am using the very last of this blue fabric as we speak...


 Moomins inside too! And then some other little cuties...


 

...these and quite a few more will be appearing here soon! I am really, really trying to use all the fabrics I have left this time, so if you wished to have your own Paa-pa-pa-paa (aka Moomin Pappa) or Maa-ma-ma-maa-ma (aka Mamma) or anything else Moomins, please take a look! I will add a few larger bags there tomorrow, and then the boxes should be pretty empty. Hooray!

Have a wonderful Thursday!

Yours,
Mia

That song and these Mama and Papa pouches cheered up a snowy morning.

Isn't it a good feeling to use up something in your stash?!

Happy creating,Mia and here's to all things Moomin!!

Mia,
I wonder if we had the same song when it was aired in Japan. Now I am very curious. Anyway, all the Moomin things make us smile:)

It was through the Moomins that you and I met dear Mia...it must be 4 or so years ago now. I still love these sweet characters. I still have and use my bag too. I shall be sad to see the fabrics go but as you say you need the room and time marches on. That was indeed a very catchy tune ;0 Happy Thursday, Jane x

Hello Anne,

I LOVE the idea of making my stashes smaller! I am such a hoarder, and marinade my fabrics years...Not anymore!

Have a lovely weekend, dear!

Yours,
Mia

Hello Megumi,

I am not absolutely sure, but you can hear the Finnish version here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB3nr1CmbhM - does it sound same (the melody I mean, the words are in Finnish)? The tv-series were made by Japanese/Dutch(?) in 90s so it very well could be the same!!

I wish you happiest weekend!

Yours,
Mia

Hello Jane,

I was remembering our "meeting" when I poured into my stash :) I am so happy I have had a change to send the Moomins all over the world to their fans!

I wish you a happy, sunny (? could it be?) weekend, and kisses to B!

Yours,
Mia

Hi Mia,
I found out it's a different song. A lot of times for programs from other countries they use the same melody so I though it may be, but somehow they made a new song.

It was fun to hear the FInnish song, thank you for the link.

By the way, I like your new Moomin bags. I feel the spring!

Have a good night!
Megumi

Dear Megumi,

That song/video is so cute, thank you for sharing the link!

I am so happy you like my bags, I am seriously destashing my older fabrics and I have marinated these Moomins for years...

Have a wonderful weekend!

Yours,
Mia

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...
