The chef was going mental with all the Christmas preparations and not enough work space, so the family had to borrow a display counter from their upcoming shop..

There's STILL food everywhere..

©Stella Stenroos 2003
All kinds of lovely and fattening things.. Many of these are from various swaps we've had in the Finnish Yahoo groups.

I don't think I'll have time to finish the pink roombox before Christmas, so I put it temporarily in my dollhouse, to protect if from dust! It's now serving as a nursery..

My mini garden is also there, on the top shelf..

Ummm.. children's piano now in the living room as well! LOL.. Well it IS a bit smaller than the other piano! There's an African drum on the chair, and a bodhrán on the floor, leaning on the chair. Leaning on the bodhrán, a siku. I haven't made that colourful woolly thingie for the siku yet.. (Btw, if anyone knows where I can buy a real size - as in 1:1 - siku in Ireland, PLEASE let me know!! I must have left my old one in Finland..)

I badly need another dollhouse, this one's too full!
