simple happiness.

it's rained almost every day for 3 months here in helsinki. true.
we've had maybe only 2 days with a little snow on the ground this year.
last year, my first finland winter was a record snow year.
this year is also a record year, but for rain. wettest in 50 years.
maybe it's me?

as the rain has been hitting the window i wrapped myself in a blanket with a cup of tea, knitting needles and my sticks and string playlist from spotify. (i absolutely adore spotify and it's free! can you believe it!)

many stitches later, with lavender soap and really hot water...
i'm pleased to introduce you to my felted wool bunny slippers.
sheer hoppiness :)



wishing you health, happiness and love.
happy new year.
