Because of the catastrophe that happened lately in my own homecountry, 

my heart is aching too much for the people that are suffering. In addition, here in Norway is winter now and it is dark and cold.  On top of that I got a flu ( better now). It makes me depressed.  But since my name is Ligaya, ( Joy in English) I need to live up to my name and try to be joyful no matter what. My solution is to make my mind think of other things than to feel sorry for myself, because I don't have the reason to feel that way. Blessed by God in many areas of my life.

One of the things that I do to cheer myself up is to create something. Then I found Konrad Klossmajor in a hobby book that I bought lately.

Say hi to Konrad Klossmajor

But since he is just a picture, I have to make my own that I can touch and cuddle.

here are the different parts before I sewed them together

opps... no eyes yet

                                               the finished product

isn't he cool?

On thing more, if you remember in one of my post that I said that I am going to make " Ella Ellemus"?

This is from the same book where also Konrad Klossmajor came from.

Here is my version. If you notice, the body has two different colors. It was because I run out of yarn and it was Sunday when I crocheted it  and the shops were close. Luckily I found yarn I could use.

and now meet Ella Ellemus. I think she is kinda sweet:)

Konrad Klossmajor and Ella Ellemus won't stay long with me. I will give them to a sweet girl and boy as a gift this Christmas.

I made a pair of potholder too!

And now here are some funny jokes to make you smile:)

 Out of the Mouths of Babes **

1) Out of the mouths.............

I was nervous the night my husband and I took our three young sons to a restaurant for the first time. My husband ordered a bottle of wine with the meal. When the waitress brought it, our children became quiet as she began the ritual uncorking. She poured a small amount for me to taste, at that moment, our six-year-old piped up, "Mum drinks a lot more than that."

* At School
Mother: 'Why are you home from school so early?'  Son: 'I was the only one who could answer a question.'

Mother: 'Oh, really? What was the question?'
Son: 'Who threw the blackboard duster at the teacher?'

* Going straight?
Jasper Barnett, a young lad from St. Alban's, England was asked by his teacher to spell the word 'straight.' Jasper did so without error.

'Well done!' smiled the teacher, 'Now, Jasper, what does it mean?'
'Without water in it!' responded Jasper immediately.

* Newspaper Boy:
A newspaper boy was standing on the corner with a large pile of papers, shouting, 'Read all about it. Twenty five people cheated. Twenty five people cheated.'
Intrigued, a man walked over, bought a paper, and checked the front page. What he saw was yesterday's paper. The man said, 'Hey, this is an old paper, where's the story about the big swindle?' The newspaper boy ignored him and went on yelling out, 'Read all about it. Twenty six people cheated.'
