Armwarmers

 Remember this jacket? I bought it at a thrift shop. The weird thing with it was that the lining had big arm cuffs in a wool material. It felt just too bulky and warm comparing to the rest of the garment. I haven't got the time until recently to do something about it. The cuffs looked spotless and I thought I could use them for armwarmers instead of throwing them away. I zig zagged on som black stretchy lace on the ends and that was all.

 I took a lunch walk at the wasteland to take the photos of the armwarmers. Some kids have had some fun with spray paint. On a stone further away they had sprayed "cat". I always think this wood would fit perfect for a horror movie or a gothic drama of sorts. My son says it's creepy but I love this place. 

Armwarmers combined with my new wool knit. It's hard to get real wool knits without syntetic blend today, I think. This sweater comes from Gudrun Sjödéns wintercollection and it has my colour and patterns. Clothes with black and grey stripes are impossible to resist!

And this is how all days looks like. Grey thick cover of clouds shutting sunlight out. The red cross sign is a mark for snowmobile paths. It's not allowed to drive them anywere you like because of the damage they can do on treeplants, fields etc. I don't know how the sign got there, doesn't look like a safe place to drive.

Even if the weather is dull, I think it gives the scenery a melancholic beauty.

Spring is surely on it's way. During my short walk I heard lots of birds and particularly woodpeckers. Talking about woodpeckers. Our middle sized white backed woodpecker is almost gone, but a forest like this with lots of rottening trees are their natural habitat. Maybe I could have the luck to see one here and get this place sacred for the future.

 Oh and this hermit-crab will socialize this weekend and it will be fun. We are invited to a couple of our friends for dinner tomorrow and on sunday there will be a magician show, the extra spice will be jugglers with chainsaws on fire.
