I've been such bad blogger lately but these pictures of Russia by Yoko Takahashi made me so nostalgic that I just had to share them with you. These are like looking into my childhood memories, travelling by trains to grandma's house in summer, feeling carefree. Just pictures of ordinary things but they take me into my happy place.

я всегда думала, в чем же проблема, в общей неэстетичности нашего быты или в нас самих и нашем умении видеть и передавать красоту того, что нас окружает. и поэтому для меня фотографии, сделанные иностранцами в России, - предмет повышенного интереса. и чем больше я на них смотрю, тем больше понимаю, что все-таки проблема в нас самих :(
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.
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...
