I can't think of much to say today. Our islands are being hit by a snow and rainstorm and it feels as though winter is holding on to us with a firm grip. So while the cold weather lingers, I'm going to go back to the workroom and spend some time on my orders and other jobs.

Over the weekend, I discovered the Icelandic musician Ólöf Arnalds and her lovely new album, Innundir Skinni. I really recommend it- the music is beautiful. You can also hear a duet that she sings with Bjork, called Surrender here at Pitchfork Media. Once again, I'm craving a trip to Scandinavia- though it's nearly as far away from here at the bottom of the earth as it's possible to go.

I hope you had a nice weekend, wherever you are in our world.

    You might not have much to say, but I wanted to say ‘Thanks’ for making a little dress a long time ago. I bought it, and finally, my little girl is big enough to wear it. I adore it xxx Photos on my blog today if you’re curious which one I mean 🙂

    Oh, Melissa, the changes here are just lovely! The floral “logo” and the cross stitching are so appropriate. Hope your weather improves. Snow when spring should be happening is never too nice – though, personally, I never find snow too nice:)

    Thanks for that music, I love Björk and I like their shared song, I think I will keep that with me this winter, for it is autumn in a few days here.
    I’m not sure I have already left a comment but I’ve been visiting your blog very regularly for months now!
