Two new birdies will be on Etsy later today as well as five botanical magnets. I'm preparing a new series of books that won't be coptic bound or linen covered or bird related. That's about all I know about them at the moment. Something different anyway.

I'm so happy I've decided to buy handmade this Christmas instead of making handmade.

Now I understand why I haven't used much black in my books for a long time. Making black covers was maybe something equally strange as me wearing red. Not as strange as me wearing yellow, but strange. I'm a brown-green-blue girl.

I had so much fun folding those little envelopes. I've made mostly tiny things the last couple of days. It makes me feel like I haven't actually done anything, but whoa, nothing can be very time consuming. I've had very energetic time, listening to Joy Division and Feist, twitching (no, no dancing) to the music whenever taking a break from cutting something. On Tuesday I went to see Control with M. (she made her debut at karhupuku just a while ago) and really loved it. It was so nice to see a well made movie with great actors and great music. It probably was the last movie I'll ever see in Kino Thalia, which will be shut down at the end of the year. It's sad but really no wonder as there was only three people watching Control. Usually there has been at least four of us in the audience, I think eight is the record.
