Hyvää Uutta Vuotta 2008! / Happy New Year 2008!

Kokeilin Book Depositorya. Todella nopsa toimitus! Tilasin kirjat viime viikolla ja sain ne tänään. Kaksi Tilda-kirjaa ja sitten Knitting Lingerie Style. Muutama malli suorastaan huutaa puikoille. Tässä piakoin pitänee kokeilla.

I tried the Book Depository. Quick delivery! I got 3 books today and I ordered the books last week. I ordered 2 Tilda books; Sew Pretty Homestyle and Crafting Christmas Gifts. The third book is the Knitting Lingerie Style. I really like those patterns, I might try few of them soon-ish.

Merry Christmas!

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,

In the lane, snow is glistening

A beautiful sight,We're happy tonight.

Walking in a winter wonderland.

Gone away is the bluebird,

Here to stay is a new bird

He sings a love song,

As we go along,

Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,

Then pretend that he is Parson Brown.

He'll say: Are you married?

We'll say: No man,

But you can do the job

When you're in town.

Later on, we'll conspire,

As we dream by the fire

To face unafraid,

The plans that we've made,

Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,

And pretend that he's a circus clown

We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,

Until the other kids knock him down.

When it snows, ain't it thrilling,

Though your nose gets a chilling

We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,

Walking in a winter wonderland.

SP 11, some yarn, some jewellery and gingerbread cookies

Secret pal 11, lankaa, koruja ja piparkakkuja

My Secret Pal 11 was knit two, purl two :) The scarf was confiscated by my DH. He said that he needs one and he needs one now :) So we desided to both use it. The cookies are my kids favourites, they keep asking for a handfull after their supper. Thank you Susan!

Lankaa Posh Yarnista. Kaksi kerää Helenaa. Tuo lanka on minun makuuni täysin!

Some yarn ordered from Posh Yarn :) Helena, 2 skeins. I just love that yarn!

Evaa Posh Yarnista. Aikaisemmin olen tilannut jo sellaisen wasabi-vihreän kerän. Näiden uusien luulisi sopivan sen kanssa loistavasti.

Eva from Posh Yarn. Color is Sprite. I have one skein already, sort of a wasabi-green. These 2 skeins should go well with that one.

Koruja pitkästä aikaa. Korvikset ja rannekoru. Hopeaa ja helmiä.

I haven't done any jewellery for a long time. Here are my new earrings and bracelet. Silver and pearls.

Paljon piparkakkuja! (ja suurin osa on jo syöty...)

Lots and lots of gingerbread cookies! (and most of them are already eaten...)

Piparkakku-kierrepullia. Herkullisia!

Gingerbread dough filled buns. Very yammy!

Iso pipariukko.

Huge gingerbread man.

Selkä alkaa olemaan kunnossa. Tosin sain eilen pahan reaktion tulehduskipulääkkeeseen, joudun käymään lääkärissä kortisoonipiikillä. Sain lisäksi voimakkaita allergialääkkeitä. Raapimista on ollut nyt kaksi päivää. Tää ei ole kivaa. Onneksi alkaa olemaan parempi olo, ehkä huomenna on jo ihan normipäivä.

My back is a bit better. I had a bad reaction to the painkillers and I had to go to the doctors. Dr gave me an injection (cortison) and some strong antihistamine. Now I've been scraching my arms and legs for two days. Not nice, I can tell you. Luckily it's getting better so hopefully I'm okay tomorrow.
