It's been an achey day for mum so plenty pots of tea have been called for. Mum finished this fab teacosy a couple of weeks ago knitting with two strands of purple at the same time.
This is my latest moomin mug, a christmas present, showing the character 'the groke'. I've always thought the groke was rather misunderstood, always feared by the moomins but deep down probably just quite lonely and looking for friendship. So, she's one of my favourite characters. My first moomin mug was bought in Copenhagen and since then the collection has added year by year. We've now got about 5, and we're very lucky to have a Scandinavian shop, Karlsson, in town (a precious place where you hope it can keep going for as long as possible). Unfortunately, it's a tad pricy, but to be expected for the lovely stuff, they also sell marimekko fabric. The owner is really friendly and I once had quite a lengthy discussion about moomins with her and then felt very guilty for not having bought anything!
Nellie went on a suit buying mission today, his mum's funeral is on Thursday..
