Ihan kaavoissa / Patterns everywhere

Kuusi lahti tanaan pois. Aina vahan haikeeta pistaa joulu pois mutta toisaalta hirmuisen raikasta. Uuden alku.
Eilen pidettiin naapurin rouvan kanssa kaavanpiirtamistalkoot. Oli saanut kirjastosta kasiinsa juuri englanniksi kaannetyn japanilaisen ompelukirjan lapsille. Ihania vaatteita taynna. :D No, paatettiin sitten etta piirrellaan kaavat ja kopioidaan ohjeet niista mita halutaan. Eilen kolme tuntia piirreltiin kaavoja eri kokoisina. Tanaan olen sitten niita leikellyt ja jarjestellyt omaan systeemiini. Voin sen esitella joku kerta. Kaikilla ompelijoilla tuntuu olevan erilainen systeemi.
Taalla satoi pari paivaa vetta ja oli ihan jarkyttavan lammin. +14C maanantaina. Nyt on taas pakkasta. Meidan hieno lumilinna suli melkein kokonaan, lumiukko oli katkennut kahtia. Mutta tassa pari kuvaa niista lumileikeista kaavojen seuraksi.

Our tree left today. It was a bit sad to see it go but then again brought a fresh feel to the house. Beginning of the new.
Yesterday our neighbours lady and I had a pattern tracing party. :D She had gotten a japanese sewing book for children that had only recently been translated to English. The book was full of lovely pieces of clothing. Well, we decided to draw the patterns we wanted and copy the instructions to those pieces. We spent three hours in the evening drawing these patterns in different sizes. Today I have been cutting the patterns and filing them in my system. I can tell you about it one day. Everyone seem to have their own method of storing and filing their patterns.
We had few days of rain, unbelievably warm +14C yesterday and now back to cold temperatures. Our gorgeous snow castle melted almost completely, our snowman snapped in two. But here's few pics of the snow play before the melting to accompany the pattern filing pictures. :D
