Moomin T-shirt

I used the design of Snufkin´s dad - the Joxter - by Tove Jansson from her book The Exploits of Moominpappa.

He always sleeps or lazes around and only gets lively when he sees some sign forbidding or ordering something, then anything can happen.

I fell in love with the books when I was ten and whenever I come back to them I am charmed all over again. I got the first book, Moominland Midwinter, for my birthday and I was vexed because it looked depressive, but then I started to read and I was lost.

Simple needlework.

(I got the plush Moomin from my sister who studied in Finland for half a year and returned with luggage full of Moomin and Viivi ja Wagner goods, knives and salmiakki - we still have the bloody salmiakki. And deep knowledge of Finnish swearwords.)
