Nutritions – and I don’t mean (only) food. I mean all the things from the nutrition circle, like sunshine, books, stories, and such… For instant, I’ve just finished reading The Passage by Justin Cronin and OMG!

What’s new on my desk today
In today’s mail came the new embroidery magazine, and I am very proud since I am one of three editors.
