Merry f****n xmas....

So there I was, getting my tree up, xmas curtains up, wrapping presents and other xmassy crap, and then it started........
Tree had balancing little plastic thingamabobs, one of them broke.
I asked mr. to put shelves to the kitchen so I can get shit off the table...I'm gonna glue the shelves to the brackets, as my engineer brained derp can't get screws in properly.
To top it all, I wanted to give the sofa a bit of a clean. It's always been a bit tatty, and I have used the stain remover before......
So here's a round up of things so far.....

Somehow I find this appropriate time for starting up new traditions for yuletide, including an intake of crack and worshipping satan.
Don't even get me started how I hate the kitchen wallpaper........

Urgh

I just managed to finish my sewing for now, made a curtain for the kitchen window, for coming xmas season, and also had a handbag with too short strap, so sewed in some extra to make it longer.
I'm getting quite excited for xmas, I have another task of getting my livingroom sorted soon.
Too much crap and too small flat. :(
I also decorated my greatgrans pic for Dia de los Muertos. Didn't have enough stuff to make an Ofrenda, but got the candles out and found some icons and greatgrans scarf to hang. All this opened up a shitstorm from my "relatives" who said I desecrated her memory by doing this. What in the name of fuck?
Karelian folk used to have similar celebrations to DDLM, they went to have dinner at loved ones graves, sung songs and gave the dead their own portions of food.
I'll put piccies here of the stuff I just loaded to my FB page too. This is what has kept me busy lately.....

It snowed  this morning. Wish the snow would stay, as it makes even this grim city look relatively pretty, and gives such a cheer to everybody.
That's it for now.
Later.

Gone but not forgotten.....

Fuck, I have totally forgot to write anything here. I'm having my usual attention span with crafts, and now I've added painting and decorating to this. Starting a wall and then ending up painting all the furniture in the room is pretty much how I roll.
So 'scuse me while I'm brainfarting about.
Will return soon with more pics and something to say.

Here's a pic of one of the best shows ever. If you haven't seen it already, do check it out!
I'm so miffed I missed out on a good sale for the box set. Ain't no way in hell I'll pay the 40-80 quid that seems to be the common pricerange for that....

Until next time

Family roots

Ugh, been kept busy, I have joined a group on facebook, that has people with roots in Karelia, and I'm finding distant relatives. It is a fun and interesting journey, as I get to learn details from the past I didn't know before. Exciting!
The best of all, I'm getting to see old photos I have never seen before from my great grandmother and greatgrandfathers village, life, and culture.
I've been also busy with making more crafty stuff. I have an urge to do things, so I keep on doing stuff before the crafting mojo disappears...:)
Will be back soon with piccies etc..
