Hi!

My name is Maria (any pronouns) and I live in Finland! I live in a small house in a small town no one has ever heard of with my partner and our dog, and we're currently looking forward to our little family growing in December.

I'm a trinket collector, I love moomin and sanrio and studio ghibli. I journal daily and draw a lot even though I'm not the best at it.

Please note due to my location it may take several weeks for the mail I send to arrive if it's travelling overseas!

Here's me rambling about what I'm into right now!

I'm huge on fibre arts, mostly crochet and knitting but I have been caught cross stitching in the past, and last Christmas I was gifted a sewing machine which I'm currently learning how to operate.

I'm also very into gardening. I have my own back yard which I'm constantly playing around in during spring and summer, and when it's too cold to be outside, I have my houseplants!

I used to run a lot, but since getting pregnant I really haven't had the energy, so now I mostly stick to longer walks and stretching. I'm also out of my reading slump at long last, so I'm currently tackling my tbr one book at a time. As far as books go, I mostly enjoy regular fiction. I'm not a huge fan of plain romance or fantasy, just give me a story about complex, well-written characters trying to get through life and I'm most content.
