And other news: The Craft Museum of Finland has nominated me for the "Craftsman of the Year", Vuoden käsityöläinen. It's an amazing honour for me. I feel really overwhelmed by the nomination, and even more by the wonderful support and encouragement you have given me! Thank you!

I'll be in Jyväskylä tomorrow attending a local craft show - please come and say hi, if you happen to be there. You'll find me at TitiTyy's booth C 35/2.
