December is here

I love Christmas time. The time before the 24th of December, the waiting for the holidays, the preparations. I am always late in them and eventually some ideas I need to leave for the next year to come, but it doesn't really matter. Important thing is that I don't stress about Christmas and it doesn't need to be perfect.

This year I have decided to do the so called Christmas cleaning. I already started today by using the dishwasher cleaner, soft starting. I surely hope it cleans limescale and makes the machine clean better as it surely smelt very strong, too strong actually. Better change the mark next time. This Christmas cleaning is a motivation to get things done like wash the carpets, bathroom, sauna etc. things that surely are not too appealing. My plan is also to run the limescale cleaning to our coffee machine as well. Many things to do...

One eternal project that I finished few days ago and that I am so proud of finishing it is a door decoration with pompoms. I had started it in autumn 2018, so for the Christmas of 2018, but only now I managed to finish it. Pompoms for the 2020!  So typical of me to think something is nice and rather quickly done and then it takes ages to finish it. But now it is ready and I like it.

Good idea to use leftover yarns for this project

 

What makes me happy

New year, new promises and already one fulfilled!
Since my secondary school I had been thinking of to be a member of WWF and to donate x amount of money monthly for the organisation. It was in my eight or ninth grade that we had to do a written presentation of some organisation and I made it about World Wildlife Fund. Since kid I have been fond for nature, not sure why as my parents were not any kind of special animal or nature enthusiasts. Well, anyway I made my written school task about WWF and the professor took it as an example of a work well done in front of the class. I was very proud of myself as there were always students better then me and I was not particularly good in writing. But with this one I succeeded and I still remember the good feeling about it.

It took more than 20 years finally to be a member of WWF. It is always the same, I don't have the money right now, in few months I would start... One actually never has extra money because there is always something to buy or whatever excuses.

This year 2020 I finally made my decision and signed up to be a monthly supporter of WWF. My idea was to start paying already in January, but at least I did the registration in the last day of January and after confirming all my information by phone February will be my first donation month. Yippie, I finally made it!
