First of all, I want to say big thank you to all of your support and compassion for our news on the last post. It means so much to me. I noticed that making the post was part of the grieving process for me and in a weird way publishing it made it more real. But now I want to get back to normal bloggy business, so here goes.

For December issue of Unelmien Talo&Koti magazine I made a new version of the painted pastel glass jars, that’s been the most popular post of Kootut murut for years already. I used four vintage glass bottles to use as advent candles. (Do you have advent candles too, or is it a Finnish / Scandinavian tradition?) The instructions are on the website in Finnish.
