Colourful



I´ve been sewing quite a lot this week. This blanket is one of my latest work for T&J. The textile is designed by Hennamari Asunta for Marimekko
and the pattern name is "Nyytit".

"Villa Lande"




Here is a little sneak peak from the home of K&A. Like their garden their home is also beautiful. The spirit is warm and
I have to mention their doors, they are adorable. The doors are in their original varnished wooden shape, so beautiful.
The apartment is a separate downstairs flat from the big house, this time I didn´t take pictures from the upstairs,
maybe next time.

Garden party




Our friend K&A kept last saturday a wonderful garden party. Good food and nice people. Lots of laughing and the best
surprise was a basement disco. The evening was really nice. Thank you K&A!

Cosy countryside





In the cosy countryside days feels longer and my mind gets relaxed. I love to spend my days in different flea markets
and antikshops. After a while it feels nice to go back to the city, with new fresh ideas and a full of inspiration.

Three Potato Four

Funny



He has all the time something going on.

Soft and slow


Good morning :) Today´s theme is soft and slow.

Modern Country

Red


A vanilla ice cream and strawberries is my favorite combination.

I´m going to travel to Heinola to meet my parents and the littlesillyhappy dog. The next post will come from the
countryside :).

Picking the berries



This time of the summer turns me in a little bit melancholy mood. It´s time to start picking the nature´s crop for
reserve and that reminds me about the winter. Luckily there is still summer left...

After a while


I´m not the most patient person, so when I get the feeling, that I need a change there´s nothing to do about it, I just have
to do the change :). Last weekend I got a strong inspiration about painting our apartment walls and an idea of changing
the places of the furniture and getting new curtains, pillow covers etc...So, that is what we´ve been doing lately.
Well, we are almost ready, some sewing and seeking of the new textile is left, I´m really satisfied.

Today we went to a really nice flea market, we made some finds there to our home, one is this tricot weft roll.
I´m going to knit something nice from it to our kitchen.

I found this interesting apartment site through Liivia.

Dress




Annes dress is ready and she really likes it. Time to start weekend. Have a nice time!

This ink calendar is great!

It´s like magic


I bought The White Pearl -white tea. The tea leaves are like small pearls and with hot water, simsalabim the magic happens,
the tea pearls open :)! That is one of the natures small things that I enjoy.

Old style spirit



Today I visited with Anna and Anne in a little, old textile store. The really nice salesman gave us good service and in
the end he packed our purchases in an old style way in a beautiful pattern paper. We were fascinated, that kind of
service you don´t get so often anymore.

Sketching



I like sketching. A white paper and a black ink pen are enough, a hint of some colours sometimes. I sketch pictures,
but I also like to draw words, the words include a lot of adjectives, description words. Sketching makes my ideas clearer.

I have had so many new readers and I have to thank Sandra for that. Her blog is so fine and she takes beautiful pictures.

New week, new dress

New week begins and I´m working with this dress, I will show you more pictures of it when it´s ready. I´m making
the dress for my schoolfriend Anne, she is a photographer, so she will need big pockets for her dress.

I like clothes of Phillip Lim.

Sun and sheep




The sheep just kept saying "määääää!". :)

Saturday swing



Todays Saturday swing has consisted of colourful thread rolls.

Grayscale

A beautiful harmony. I will never get tired of these colours.

The evening


Today was warm and a sunny summer day, but I managed to go out just before the sun went down.
Have a nice weekend!

Fokus Fabrik has very nice prints.
