thinking back last summer

... and dreaming up plans for next summer.

Some days ago I browsed through my computer and traced some photos of myself around one lovely country - Spain. So this is me in my element: traveling.

Pictures in random order...

Start of the trip: Bilbao - bad(ish) weather, hah. :D

After that: San Sebastian - nice and good! Sunny.

Followed by: Zaragoza - a dose of culture.

Last stop: Madrid - big city heat. Loved it.

In total: two weeks of happiness.

This is my travel-mate Kristiina. She's cool (and she took the pictures above).

Summer: please come back quickly!

weaving is fun

School is keeping me busy again. At the moment I'm weaving interior textiles with a computer connected loom (pics 1-2) and a jacquard machine (pics 3-4). I took some pictures on the go.

Here are two examples of my woven fabrics.

And then the jacquard try-out. Huge difference with thick and thin yarns. :)

lovely love moves

Seeing this made me smile - I wish it makes you too! I found this delightful video from Flow's web page and I just needed to share this here with you. ;)

Happy Valentine's Day everybody!

"bouquet"

A good old post card with a good old Hello! - special flowers for a special person, though.

a good morning

Yesterday I ate breakfast when it was already bright outside.

I start my days very often with coffee & muesli with nuts, sunflower seeds and lovely minced Hippophae rhamnoides - sea buckthorn powder to put it more clearly (Fin: jauhettu tyrnimarja). Sometimes I add crushed linseeds among the mix (Fin: pellavansiemenrouhe).

I can not leave the house without a proper amount of energy and this is the ordinary way for me getting it.
