The Chrismas food I know is something you don't afford to eat everyday. That's why during Chrismas they will all be gathered on one table. The Norwegian Chrismas food surprised me a bit. They are preserved food, salted and dried or preserv in other manner.

For example the 'pinnekøtt' I had the other day are dried and salted lamb. Meat that was fresh 6-8 weeks ago! What's more surprising is that it's actually tasty and goes very well with the veggie mix of potatoes and turnips.
Also, I don't know why there are so many different kinds of desserts on a Norwegian Chrismas dinner table but I hope that this part of the tradition get spread around the world.

That's what I felt like right now. It's the inside that counts right?
Also I ran out of wrapping paper so I've only done Mom's and V&M's. Need to get some more and finish up L's.

This is a short model, suitable to wear with party dresses, skirts or shorts. Feels so nice to cuddle with.
Love this red one, too bad the color in the picture does not make any justice. The color is so vibrant!
Lastly this long hoodie, it's actually a short dress and the whole front is painted. This will go perfectly with black tights.

Today is a special day for people who is obsessed with number, especially with the number '1'. At 11.11 on the 11th of the 11th month of the year 2011 I was consuming my not so tasty Norwegian pizza, just like all the Fridays before.
Then I returned to my desk and sent out a document marked with today's date, '111111'.
At the end of today I'll have seen enough of the '1's that I would gladly welcome the '2' that replaces the last digit.

Christmas is still far away but I've started the Santa workshop. First out is something to keep mom's head warm.

Even the yarn is handmade (by Koreans)....hm how does that work?

....and a progress pic on the Chinese (?) painting. The flowers are coming out.
