New year, new tricks







I will post some photos from our recent holiday trip to Israel soon.

But now just a quick update. My Etsy shop HELLINsinua is active again and I've been making clothes - but it will take 3-4 weeks for me to get the labels and hang tags I've ordered, and get things photographed for the shop. I'm really looking forward to getting it properly running. I'm enjoying drawing patterns and sewing.

*HELLIN = Superlative form of hellä ( gentle -the gentlest) .
Instructive plural form of hellä.
First-person singular indicative present form of helliä (I'm being gentle).
First-person singular indicative past form of helliä. (I was being gentle)*

Hellin is also a Finnish Sami woman's name running in my family.

Also, one of my paintings had ended up in Wall Street Journal which was pretty cool. I found out about it because someone saw my painting and name on WSJ and contacted me about available works.

It has been really cold and snowy here, but now kind of wet and sloshy.

In 10 days we will also get a new kitten!!!

So stay tuned :D
