Nobody told me Loobylu is back!

I missed her blog. I'm happy to see she's blogging again.

And linking wonderful things...like this Welsh low-impact woodland home. Which, though it probably would mean my changing my current "1940s cottage" style to suit it, is a lovely little house, sort of what you'd get if you had a construction and architectural team that had both Hobbits and Moomins on it.

Also, one of her "further back" (but still new to me) posts features a lot of interesting vintage crocheted blankets.

Also, from a link to an illustration blog she had on her site, this cover from the Moomin comics (wow, I'd love to find a set of those in English...)



Hahahaha. I like the cover, with the distressed-looking fillyjonk in the middle, on the phone, and all the other creatures being vaguely threatening around her - Little My either pulling a snake out or putting a snake in to the stovepipe, and Moomintroll looking angry with a pair of pliers, and some of the random Jansson-creatures dancing by firelight in the back. Perhaps the fillyjonk is calling the police on them ("Please? It's 2 am? And they're still making noise?") or perhaps she is calling someone to come and remove her from such a madhouse....
