toof!

Today I went to the dentist! Oh, the pain she exposed me to! T_T

But you know, I really like the tradition that every dentist visit is rewarded with stickers :)







Age has nothing to do with it! Stickers for everyone! XD

wooden anemones

A forgotten post in the draft from May 7th. Lots of flower posts these days..

This day I went to the forest to enjoy the carpet of wood anemones. And I had a small picnic too! ^^

the bus square

The best part about moving to a new town is all the surprises!

Like earlier this week when I crossed the bus square and all the trees were white! :D

And speaking of buses :) I've noticed every single town has their own color of the buses ^^

Is it like that in your country too? What colors are the buses in your town? :)

Greengate apron

Last week I bought this amazing apron from GreenGate.

And the more I look at it the more it feels like such a waste that this beautiful design has been turned into an apron instead of a dress and being limited to just the kitchen instead of letting the whole world enjoy the beautiful design. So that's when I decided to buy a second apron to see if I somehow can make this idea reality. I also got some extra fabric so I have some room for bigger modifications if necessary. Still not sure how to do this, but I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually!

Any ideas on design are very much appreciated btw! :)

baby geese

Oh yes, it's the seasons for ducklings and chicks! And  ran into a geese family with 10 kids!! ^^

Funny thing they hit camp just under my bike! What a surprise! If had known I would have removed
the ugly plastic bag I'm always sitting on after rain... But oh well. I guess it can't be helped!

Instax photos

 I'm madly in love with my Instax baby, there are no words to describe.

Here's some recent photos.

         1. My sister and Kesella
         2. My sister and I wearing our graduation hats. (my hat is 8 years old, hers is brand new)
         3. My dad.
         4. Kesella.
         5. My sister and Missan.
         6. My brother in his tree house.

And I don't have a great scanner so these are photos of photos which I tried to edit as close to the originals as possible. The originals are a lot prettier though :) I'm very impressed with the quality of the Instax. Some people say the Instax is overpriced, but I disagree! It's a well working piece of technology and not a toy camera!

I now pronounce you frog and wife

Another frog moved in with me the other day! :)

And when thinking of it, I actually have an unintentional collection of frogs by now! I'm so busted!









This affection for frogs can actually have something to do with Naruto and Mount Myoboku.. ^^'>

I have refused to admit and cave in to this interest, because my mom used to be a frog collector and I really don't need to be any more like my mom than I already am :P Don't you just hate when you notice growing up to become just like your parents seems completely unavoidable no matter how hard you try? :P

organizing lace

I'm sure I'm not the only one stocking up on way too much lace and ribbons...

Digging in these boxes isn't very inspiring after all. So I need a new better way to store it.



Now here's what I did!

You need a saw and a pipe of some kind. I used a paper pipe that was inside the carpet when I bought it. If you buy a poster they usually come in some kind of tube as well. Then saw this tube into pieces, the same width as your lace and simply just roll the lace around it! :) Piece of cake! :)

I was able to just add just two little screws with a loop each, and a tiny little rod to my old shelf for cute display and storage! :) Now that looks a lot better :)

And for the rest (they couldn't all fit on that little rod) I just sorted them and folded them into little zip it bags! Easier to find and no tangle! :) Now let's see how long it lasts this time ^^

the weekend

This weekend was long because of a holiday no one celebrates anyway! ^^

So I went to visit my old hometown!

On the train I ate my all time favorite fruit. It's called grenadilla, I'm not sure what language that is? Anyway, If you ever get a chance to try it: do it! :D it's so delicious!! ..even though they totally look like alien eggs or something X'D Shame they're so expensive though! :x

The house was empty when I arrived, but two of the family cats greeted me, Missan and Kesella. This is Kesella, she's 14 years old. She's my favorite, and I'm her favorite too I think, haha ^^ She's so irresistible ♥

I meet up my childhood bff and a new friend (from Germany)! In the background you can see a sculpture made by Pablo Picasso. We went to the archipelago to eat soft ice cream and throw rocks, we also visited my old friend's old cabin in the woods. I haven't seen her in years because she lives in London and she's just about to move to Australia!

I saw a lot of animals during this trip. Lots of beavers, deers and tons of frogs in a small little pool in the forest! This deer didn't care for me and my sister at all, he just layed there, really close to us, totally chillin' ^^

My sister made us dinner! (with some help from Kesella ^^) It was delicious too! :) My dad lives in a very old house which has never been renovated. I grew up here, btw. To the right there's a little shelf by the lamp which I made in chopclass when I was little ^^

The sun shone so beautifully through the kitchen window and through these purple clover leaves! The colors are just amazing! (not to mention they're really good for people who forget to water their plants, because they won't die so easily ^^)

Dinner is served! This is my dad and my brother. You can see a drawing of a fish in the background to the left which I made when I was in kindergarten ^^'

This is my sister and her favorite cat Missan. They've been the best of friends since my sister was 8 years old. I love this photo! You have no idea how hard it is to catch my sister on film! (well, not literally film..)

Anyway, it was a unusually great trip! :)
