Such a comforting and warming tea on a cold winter day

I received this aged tieguanyin as a bonus from my local teashop.

It's from 2016 and clearly more mellow than young tgy. There are similar floral and white chocolaty hints as in my tanbei tgy, but not as pronounced.

This autumn I became completely unable to play any new games.

I thought that Sekiro would fix me, it didn't. Dark Souls 3 didn't either. Now I've also played Elden Ring with platinum trophy. Still not fixed...

So if you happen to see a messed up person playing unpatched DS2 on PS3, that'd be me 😮‍💨

Where is our Bruno? 😭

Has anyone heard anything about him? I hope everything is alright 😢

So here is the finished amigurumi.

It turned out quite well in my opinion. But the final test will be on the Eve, when when I get to see, if it surprises my partner.

I will write a little review thread in the comments.

Go watch Matt talk about my favorite video game Demon's Souls.

He does a perfect job describing what makes this game so special. Whether or not you have played the game, you're going to have a great 2 hours and learn a lot.

Baked some gingerbreads today. In Moomin shapes of course.

Just finished replaying Dark Souls 3.

I wanted to do the DLC as well, but I find it kinda repulsive for no good reason. Not the first time this has happened. I just cannot bring myself to replay it.

(Also isn't the Japanese cover much nicer than what we ended up with?)

Here's an update on my crochet amigurumi project.

This week I've been crocheting and playing Dark Souls 3. Muscle memory is developing well and I am not splitting the yarn all the time anymore. Joining the legs was quite a challenge, but I managed after a few tries.

Just the finishing touches left

December is here once again, and I will share my Yule Calendar in this thread.

This calendar is illustrated by a famous Finnish children's author Mauri Kunnas. His art is known for small but funny details. So everyday should be something fun and cute to look at.

I have been working on my crochet amigurumi while blasting some cold and raw black metal.

It's progressing and I am learning a lot. It definitely was the right call to restart the head.

Looking quite nice now ☺️

So I decided to get this cute amigurumi kit and make it for my partner.

This will be my very first time crocheting an amigurumi. There is a lot to learn, but it cannot be that difficult, can it?

So my amigurumi has turned out to be a total disaster 😭

The head is super lumpy and I think it has two wrong sides. I thought that I had been doing well with counting, but now nothing is adding up.

I think it's time to undo all the work so far 😥

It's not much, but it's a start.

I have to hide it now to keep it a secret. Perhaps I can continue tomorrow evening.

At this point I'm not sure if I'm actually getting the hang of this. Or if I'm still just fighting Genichiro and Isshin is going to crawl out soon 🤔

I decided to make this for my partner.

I've been wanting to get into crocheting for a while. But when looking at instructions and the tools I'd need, I always get analysis paralysis. Here everything is in one simple package, so I can actually get started 😊

I beat the Sword Saint for the second time ever. I always felt bad for a cowardly fight on my first playthrough and I feel I have now rectified that.

Just an insanely good boss fight. I also finally had a chance to experience the Owl fight. Feels good to have all the endings.

After over a decade of waiting, it's quite unreal to finally have this magnificent album by Adorn in my hands.

I was waiting for the release in 2013, just to have the band dissappear completely. Now it's here and just as dreamy and romantic as ever. And releasing with a completely new album too 🥹

Saturday morning is just what I needed.

Tea and Mushishi will fix me.

Loving these two teacups I managed find in Suzhou.

By pure luck, I came across this small shop filled to the brim with all kinds of teaware. I spent close to 15 minutes digging through this one box of teacups before picking out these two.
