First, the Christmas Elf wants me to grow a boyfriend and now I get this "wild and sexy massage oil".

Not very subtle ;-)
And I can just see the boyfriend using this gift as an excuse for getting daily massages...

In my opinion, the only thing you need to solve these kind of puzzles is a ton of patience - and possibly the ability to visualise objects spacially. I am very good at the latter. Patience can be a different matter, though. At times I have tons of patience. It just oozes out of me. But today I had none. I cheated. After a "very" short trial period I just looked at the solution. Actually, you can only use the solution paper if you can visualise objects spacially, since it is kind of hard to draw a movement in two dimensions - at least for this puzzle it is.

I unpacked another tea can - a little bigger and without tea. You would think that I have enough cans. But I do not! I only have too little storage space. And yes, I will store more tea in this can.

A set of these patterned napkins was todays present. I like regular patterns a lot, but I have a really hard time drawing/painting anything swirly. Maybe it is therefore that I like these napkins so much.











Later today Maria and I went to my storage container to drop off some stuff. We ended up at her house, drinking tea and talking which we hadn't had a chance to do for a long time. The really nice afternoon hold a pleasant and unplanned surprise. Maria pulled out this tremendous book and told me that she couldn't wait for Christmas to give it to me because she was so excited about it. The patterns in the book and the velvety pattern on the outside of the book reminded her of the wallpaper pieces we bought at one point and of a picture I made. The patterns in this book are quite different from what I "usually" paint, but I wish I could paint a little like that. The book certainly triggered my inspiration and I am tossing new ideas around in my head. :-) 

Of course you will have to call them "tattoo pens". You wouldn't want to admit that you forget everthing you didn't write down and that you always lose the paper you wrote your notes on. ;-)

Pretty paper!
What should I make from it?
Cards? Bookmarks? Collages?
I can hear my brain working. :-)

Today I found the last of the big and heavy presents. I think. I didn't take them all out of the bag. I alwas open the big and heavy presents first because I am usually away from home come Christmas, and this way the suitcase is a lot lighter. ;-)

"Nikolajs grønne verden" (Nikolajs Green World) is a cook book which concentrates on vegetables. The recipes look kind of advanced, but they inspire me a lot. Hmmm, I am getting hungry!

This lovely bowl (todays gift) is now filled with pumkin seeds I roasted. I like bowls. The are the most versatile tableware and you can simply not have too many. ;-)

But now, I think I will go back to my cozy chair again, wrap myself in a warm blanket and read and doze some more. Hopefully I will be more awake tomorrow.

Hmmmmmm :-)

I think I will have sushi with lots of pickled ginger very soon.
