Joulutauko -- Christmas break

Two months have passed by... And I haven't been able to finish anything worth mentioning. First I started doing softies - still unfinished, then crotcheting - still unfinished, then sewing little pouches - still unfinished. The last case, though, is unfinished, because my serger broke down.. It doesn't make a stitch. I decided it was about time I started Christmas break. Maybe I'll move on straight to New Year's break, too.

Ispiraatio iski vihdoin -- Finally inspired!
Ideahautomo -- Brainstorming
Aivan tyystin en ole unohtanut uusienkaan kankaiden käyttöä. Vaelluskamppeita varten tilasin Shelbystä tuulenpitävää mustaa fleeceä lakkiin ja nopeasti kuivuvaa fleecen tyyppistä, ohutta punaista kangasta "hikipaitaa" varten.
Having no inspiration to sew, I've been doing some designing and brainstorming in my mind. I've got a good collection of beautiful second-hand fabrics and some old sweaters which I washed in high temperature to get felted. I also orderd some new technical fabrics to renew my hiking wardrobe.
