London, baby!
So, summer is finally here, and that means the holiday is drawing closer. I will be working in July, but before that, I am going to London! The weekend, that around these parts of the world is called Midsummer (around 20th of June), I will be visiting London for the first time in YEARS. I…
Read MoreTamanegi-Kobo!
One of the best things about the me-made-may flickr pool, is all the new inspiration.

So. Exciting news here today – I am officially moving my blog! This blog has existed in one way or another since 2005. From the very beginning my blog host was blogger.com, but as I got more and more frustrated with the interface of blogger, I decided to transform it into a self-hosted WordPress blog.
