Window #4

Hello mates!:)
In this part I'll will show you some of my favourite Christmas songs.



First the English ones.
I love Michael Bublé's voice so the most these are sang by him.











And here is some Finnish ones. :)





This one has a great music video, because it's from an animated movie.

Window #3

Hi mates! Now it's December 3rd.


This year I've thought a lot of buying a very tacky Christmas jumper. Unfortunately it's been a hard challenge with a budget under 25 euros, because I've learnt that I shouldn't buy a jumper made out of acrylic. My mom said that if they are 100% acrylic they won't last very long. But I think that they might last longer if I washed them by hand. Please leave a comment that do they last, if you have or had a 100% acrylic jumper. :)

There are some very nice ones at next.co.uk but they are, I think, between 25 and 40 GBP. I've also looked up some jumpers on amazon, but I haven't found any good yet that isn't acrylic. There is some Frozen ones that would be quite cool but I'm not sure yet. ':D

Window #2

Hi mates!


In this second window of this advent calendar we could do some Christmas cards.
Here is a few ideas for them! :)





























For this red one I put stickers that says Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Then I cut like little boxes out of baize to make presents. I clued them onto the card carton and I drew the ribbon with a marker.





























And here is a few other cards that I've made. Most of the time I just like to stick a bunch of stickers onto the cards..:D

Window #1

Hi mates!
Here is the first window for this advent calendar..:D


Christmas has been my favourite holiday for a very long time if not always.
When it's the end of November I usually get very excited for Christmas and start like mentally preparing for it.

This year I bought most of the presents quite early, I think it was October and early November. We celebrate the Christmas Eve with some of my relatives so there is always around 16 to 18 people and I buy presents for most of them.

I can't wait to put Christmas lights in my room even though I rarely have them on. :D
Now it's also a perfect time to light up candles. Only 23 nights till Christmas Eve, time will go fast.


I was wondering, would you like if I played or sang a Christmas song for some of this advent calendar's window?

When others inspire you

Hi mates! How's going?
I just came home about two and a half hours ago after I went to see a concert. There was this artist called Pave Maijanen and a string quartet playing. Apart from singing Pave also played guitar and the piano. I could call the versions perfection, they were amazing.

Probably non of you knows but I used to play cello for four years. The same amount of time I have rarely touch and played it. While I was in the concert I got a spark to play cello again but I still have mixed feelings about it.

It amazes me how some people can inspire us so much even knowing it. I used to be so into music but I lost it some years ago. I really want to change that now...

A dress out of Stockmann's catalog

Hi mates!:)

I gripped the Stockmann's Hullut Päivät (Crazy Days) -catalog a day before it started, so that I could see what they were having on sale each day. Since I've done clothes out of paper before, I decided to use the catalog before recycling it. 

Usually I don't think what I'm going to do when I start making a piece of clothing, I just start doing it which of course happened this time too.  It turned out to become a peplum dress and I actually kinda like it. :D
It's so weird that I hardly use dresses myself but I love making them.






Oh yeah, because it's already the middle of November I was thinking that should I make like a advent calendar posts from 1st of the December until December 24th. Please leave a comment below! :)

It's already November

Hi mates!

Long time no see and I can't believe how fast the weeks have went.
 I've tried to focus on school more than I did before but still it feels that I don't do enough (probably because I so lazy doing so of my homework). Although I feel that I enjoy school more than last year.

So far I have become more and more aware that I really need to work on time management. There is so many things I would like to do but I just never plan time to do it.

Tomorrow I'm going to ask my Finnish teacher about this little project that could I do it and if she says yes then I probably will show some pictures of it here. :)
