treacle_tartlet sent me one of these! It's a Moomin gingerbread house kit, and you can see a completed version of the house here, though the kit comes with cutters for Moonintroll, Moominmama and Moominpapa, and Lilla My rather than figurines. The instructions on the back come in Swedish and Finnish, which is interesting for translation purposes -- I now have the Finnish for egg firmly in my head as well as the chorus of the little piggies song!Anyway, treacle has once again proved SHE KNOWS ME TOO WELL! Also, people popping in over the cooler months will now be subjected to barbecue and moomin gingerbread, instead of the usual plates of macarons. You have been warned!

Date: 2011-01-31 03:35 pm (UTC)I also have a set of Muumi ginger bread cutters like these, actually I have two sets, since several people thought it was the perfect gift. And how right they are.

Date: 2011-01-31 08:34 pm (UTC)It's a great gift! The instructions are in English as well I hope, if not I'll have to translate them for you. (From Swedish that is, not Finnish.)

Date: 2011-02-01 10:39 am (UTC)But I do know a song that raitala taught me:
Porsaita äidin oomme kaikki
oomme kaikki, oomme kaikki.
Porsaita äidin oomme kaikki,
oomme kaikki, kaikki.
Sinä ja minä,
sinä ja minä.
Imagine, if you will, pingrid, calanthe and I mortifying raitala with loud exclamations of 'oomme kaikki, kaikki!' (She secretly loved it.)

Date: 2011-02-01 01:56 pm (UTC)It's always a pleasure to read the words of a lovely children's song about mommy's piglets! I'm sure Raitala loved hearing it. Who wouldn't? :D
I never realised that Raitala is Finnish. Even though her username is a Finnish surname. Now THAT is mortifying. I suppose I need to read some more H/D fics to get over it.
Btw I have a new addiction. I love to watch The Big Bang Theory. My inner Sheldon enjoys seeing a person who is almost as neurotic as I am. ;) Did you know that 73 per cent of Americans believe in creationism? If that's not astonishing (and even slightly scary) I don't know what is.
