Christmas Lights

Here is the paper garland that I made.

This is what it looks like when it's dark out. Those are not dirty windows, it's snow.

learning to crochet

I think last time I did any crocheting when I was a kid, I decided to give it another try and made this Totoro toy. It turned out to be quite easy! You can make one too using this pattern . Now I wish I could make my own patterns but I guess it's too soon for that.

It's 2020 and I'm going back to blogging

Image
I know, blogging is so 2010, isn't it? But to be honest I feel like I am missing this experience on Instagram. Sure, IG makes it difficult to leave, writing posts on the phone is easy but there is something missing for me: a sense of direction, putting effort into my posts and organizing my thoughts, ideas and interests. I've been trying to pack to blogging for the past few years and would get stuck on choosing the blog platform etc. That's the reason I'm making it simple this time, I'm going back to my old blog, the one I had before Instagram years ago. There is not even an app for Blogger on my phone and I need to use a computer to write a post. I know so not very Insta! But maybe it's better that way if it makes me slow down and be more intentional. Even if nobody is reading this any more I will have space for me, my own diary and hopefully a useful tool for self development. I'm excited to start over again!

1,5 years old

Last week Sofia turned one and a half years old. She is 84 cm tall and weighs 11 kg. She's got almost 16 teeth now. She is so funny that one. She calls her grandma "dear". When she saw a Christmas lights deer on the street (made of wires) the other day she said "the deer is made of spaghetti". One time she was making a pretend-soup from felt veggies and insisted on putting real crackers in it too. Her favourite game though is to bounce on yoga ball and to sing. She loves songs. Her favourite ones are these from the old Russian cartoons I show her: Town Musicians of Bremen and Winnie the Pooh . (They are with English subtitles, please have a look if you are curious, I personally think they are awesome!). And of course she loves Elmo, Dora and her fave English language song is "Wheels on the bus". Ane she loooooves books, I really hope she doesn't outgrow this. Here is a little children's poem she's helping me read, it's in Russi...
