Antras kartas gyvenime… Naujus pasitikau masinoje. Tikrai ne pats blogiausias varijantas, o dar su pacia mieliausia kompanija ir garsiu juoku, lietuciu ir l. gera nuotaika. Atmintin ideta ilgam! Fotoreportazas pro langa….
It’s my second time in life… I’ve greeted New Year in a car. It’s not the worst option and if with the nicest company, laud laughter, rain and great mood – it won’t be forgotten! Photo reportage through the window…

Tai ka. 2012? Atidunda. Atskuba. Kaip koks neisvengiamas svetys. Masiskas laukimas. Kazkas svencia, kazkas jau atsvente. Kazkas dziaugiasi, kas gal asarele kita nubraukia. Kas kaip. Mes va, nusprendem ispudi Naujiem Metam padaryti. Namus puolem (pries)paskutine diena is pagrindu tvarkyti. Kambariu paskirti pakeisti (nerekomenduojam!), apsikuopti, apmazinti uzgyventu daiktu skaiciu. Atsinaujinti. Sakom gera pradzia toliau su minimalesnem pastangom daugybe geru dalyku atsinesa. Tai stai kaip mes i Naujuosius, svariau, erdviau ir su daugiau vietos smegeninese svajojimui ir tu graziu dalyku auginimui.
Esam dekingi 2011-iem. Nepavyko mum labai susidraugauti, bet geru dalyku situose metuose vis tiek netruko. Ir palydesim besibaigianciuosius su sypsenom, su apkabinimais, su meile sirdutese ir geru zodziu.
Aciu uz Jusu pasisveciavima sitoje kuklioje erdeje, aciu uz sildancius zodzius, laiskus, uz naujus namus mano kurineliams! Sekmingo Nauju pasitikimo ir graziu, visom prasmem metu!
So, 2012? Approaching. Rushing in. Like some unavoidable guest. Masses of people are waiting. Most are celebrating (big), some already did. With joy or a few tears wiped away. Whoever does what. We, completely out of the blue, have decided to impress the New Year. Moving rooms (not recommending!), de-cluttering, clearing and cleaning. Renewing. For 2 days in! It’s believed that a good start, brings lots more of good. So that’s how we’re heading into the New Year: cleaner, with more space and with also lots more room in our brain for dreams and good things to grow.
We’re thankful to the 2011. We did not get to become very firm friends with it, but still, there were plenty of good things in this year. We’ll send off the 2011 with smiles, hugs & love in our hearts!
Thank you all for visiting this small space here, always thanks for your warming words, e-mails & for all the loving homes my creations live in! Wishing you a beautiful, in all ways possible, New Year!
Kisess, Mia

They currently live in London. Urban family. But I think it’s time for their relocation…

See a 12 year old boy making a raggy for his 7 year old sister, because she has read a book and could not stop dreaming about her very own doll that can speak, because it was made with love and came to life. I had to bargain with my brother and for a promise to do his bed for him for 2 weeks, I got my doll. Very primitive, nothing like the one I hoped for, but even more dear and really, one that spoke. For real.
That Raggie was the only doll he’s made so far, but look at what my lovely brother makes now, many many years later, but still with love. So who knows, maybe these wooden figures will speak to you… or to your little one…
