JanNoWriMo challenge : "Attic Mirror" part 1

After the success of NaNoWriMo in November and NaNoFiMo in December during which I wrote Demon Soul. I decided to continue writing and to register for JanNoWriMo (January Novel Writing Month). Basically it works the same way as NaNoWriMo except that you don't have to start a new Novel, you can continue an old one, and you don't have to write 50000 words but you can choose the number of words that you want. Look at their FAQ, it explains it all better than me.
Anyway, as I finished my novel already, I decided to start a new one. It will be a bit different this time, but you will still recognise the characters you previously met in Demon Soul, for those of you who read it. The main character is not Brownie anymore, it's Hitomi. She is a writer and like to experience a lot on her topic before actually writing something. She is going to discover a magic mirror in the attic. So the name of this novel is Attic Mirror I won't tell you more about it and I will just let you discover the first part of the story.

Amigurumi : Demon

En français
You probably remember the vampire and witch I made previously and that I gave my body patterns. Following the same model I made this adorable little demon.
He reminds me of Sahel a lot, so don't look at the wings color that would mean he is in pain according to the story. I can assure you that he is a really happy demon and like to play with his friends.

Iceland : North coast

En français
The next day, we drive along the fjord Eyjafjörður and saw the little cities of Dalvík and Ólafsfjórður as well as the islands Mmey and Drangey in the distance.
If you want to be a "Real Icelandic Man" you have to be able to swim naked to Drangey with a torch in your hand while singing the national anthem.
In that case, I'm glad I'm not a man and I'm glad I'm not an Icelandic one :P.
we then go to Grafarós to see Grafarkirkja, a small church from the 17^th century.

We stop latter in a car park area to take a walk. We wanted to see the sea but we have the chance to meet some seal as well.
We finished our day in the campsite Daeli
Tomorrow we are going the start out trip in the North-west part of Iceland, also the most isolated part of the country, the one most tourist forgot.

Iceland : Goðafoss, Akureyri

En français
Happy new year everybody.

To start the new year, here is a little more of the Iceland travel.
On the way to Akureyri, we stopped to the waterfall Goðafoss.
It is called like that because when Christianity was declared the official religion in Iceland, the statue of the ancient gods were thrown in it.
We then follow the river Skjálfandafljót to go and see the waterfall Aldeyjarfoss but the road got to bad after a while wand we need to get back.
We arrive in the afternoon at Akureyri.
That's the first city we visited since the begining of the trip. After the big Europe tour, that's a change in our habits.
