Pink Dreams

So Tired but it is a blissful day

2009-09-29T15:26:00.004+03:00

I seem to have major sleeping problems lately. I finally got sleep around 7 am, door was ringing around 11 and again 13 pm. So I am pretty exhausted right now...

Blissful thing today is that I got swap from Susi...her swaps are always cheerful and lovely.

Thanks Sweetie!

I am trying...

2009-09-28T20:05:00.005+03:00

I have got a feeling that I should write more letters and do more paper crafts again..so I am now at my apartment and planning to take my stamping stuff from boxes. ..and I am also looking for more crafty penpals/swappers. I am trying to keep myself busy from now on.

Also I finally have got my first Finnish penpals (let´s see how long they can handle me) as I barely have anyone to chat with Finnish or get to know better...everyone needs a friend(s).

I should also change some links as blogger has changed a little too.
So I am planning to create link category for stamping/card making.

Burning midnite oil...

2009-09-25T05:09:00.005+03:00

Well, it is actually early morning right now but I couldn´t sleep at all last night...

Nothing much happened for ages, but I have dreamed more than I have actually done anything creative for long time and it bothers me.. So I am happy to have a hubby who sometimes kicks on my butt and say that I am just wasting precious time.

Summer went fast, was too hot (at least for me), and my skin got worse as I didn´t worship sun (sun tanning). So I have to go to SUP light therapy (in local hospital) starting next monday.

Now I am really trying to change my life... like having friends (trying to find), not so much playing games on Facebook even if they were nice. About finding a friend...I think that something happened to yesterday at bus stop...there was one very nice woman (not Finnish) and she works at local grocery store and has seen me there some times...so we started to talk together...I think that that´s my chance to get my first friend.

What really got me staying up this night was my dream...I saw dream that I was starting making cards and got new craft toys to my hands. What reminded me that Xmas is coming again and maybe I should make cards for my important persons.

Added later..

Note to self: Post your news when your not exhausted and brains are working correctly.

Hi all

I haven´t blogged for few months...I haven´t been at home as I have been away..not so far tho.

I have lost my inspiration and motivation for crafting for some reason and I finally started reading...Twilight that I got from Mikael. So I have now Twilight fever...at leat something that makes me feel little bit nicer. I loved that movie as well.

My birthday will be in Thursday...I am not balanced with that...I will be 35 years old but my mind is like 15´s. I started dieting again...yes, another round...I started last year dieting and dropped about 10 kilos but I am stress eating and I am not move a lot so I got it back. Not nice thing to have.

(note: I forgot to post this one as I got pc problems middle of updating my blog...)

Mouse and a cake

2009-01-27T12:53:00.006+02:00

I finally got some pictures (bad ones) but at least you´ll get a clue what I have been done before xmas....these pictures are taken cell phone´s camera so that´s explanation for poor pics...

This is my first felt needle works, a mouse and kitchen utencil but someone wanted to keep them all together :)

And few weeks ago I supposed to make a cake which would have been tasteful but this cake was far of it. It didn´t taste anything...someone read instructions all wrong. I don´t usually make tastless cakes..

I am STILL working with my Tilda Angel, starting all over as beginner sewer makes mistakes...
But I am hoping that I can finish it in next month.

2009-01-05T22:25:00.002+02:00

2008-11-12T09:09:00.005+02:00

My lampwork class was cancelled (just right then when I have got the money and courage to attend). So I´ll be waiting for new schedules to go there.

I have started beading again. I forgot why I didn´t bead so often (threading problems) but this morning it worked perfectly, but not 2 days ago. I am satisfied girl now and want to make more.

This is a bracelet in tiny stand. (Not that big as it shows)

Swap from Christy

2008-11-03T14:54:00.002+02:00

I joined to swap while ago and got my package today...my new friend Christy send me whole bunch of candies, cookies and beads!

Thank you Christy! These are delicious and makes me drool!

I love sunshine

2008-11-03T11:19:00.005+02:00

It is sunny lovely day here in Oulu right now. I have missed sunshine a lot lately and now I got that. ^_^

Okay, I promised to take photos so here they are.

I am getting on Xmas mood little by little so I bought Finnish Xmas related magazine and Tilda styled book, also xmas related...

and My Melody CD-R....and Sarah Kay stickers in gift box... Sarah Kay reminds me of my childhood.

I have done some organizing in my work desk and being a packrat I have all kind of junkies all around...not nice! I tend to think that I might need this and that but I don´t really need when think harder.

Tomorrow I have SUP Light therapy, it is like taking solarium, I think....

Snow!

2008-11-01T17:37:00.001+02:00

Last night we got snow here and weather has been freezing lately.

My lampwork class will be in 2 weeks and I am getting nervous, positively.
I finally can do what I have dreamed (?) for few years now. So one of my dreams will come true...and I hope that I will stay interested in lampworking myself.

I will take some photos when I am back at home, too.
(I got my white Xmas tree and new purchases)

Meds for someone...

2008-10-20T22:06:00.005+03:00

...who can´t craft other wise... That´s my situation right now, I thought that I am done with depression but it´s not over yet (I am just sightly depressed)... This is common problem (not to available to craft) with people who has depression or other mental problems. I have kept my interests all the time, searched ideas and blogged a lot while I have not done anything else like crafting. LOL. But today I managed to make a card for looong time! I feel good now then :)

I consider this as a good omen (a sign) that one day I am craft maniac!

Late swap pictures

2008-10-06T18:00:00.008+03:00

While ago I promised to show you a swap that I got from Susi :)
She is generous friend, I can tell.

(stickers, lots of rubber stamps, fabrics, glitter set, paper punch...)

I got today very weird mail....beside letter from Sweden, ads..I found also scratched lottery ticket. I am quite sure that it has no money but I am going to check it out just in case. If it would have money, it would be a miracle because right now I am empty pocket. :(

I want to share with you this funny video clip, which makes me laugh hard time...I hope you like it too!

New projects

2008-09-30T23:05:00.005+03:00

Today I started with new sewing project...Vintage Angel (Tilda) but instructions are in English, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian...not in Finnish so I notice that soon I learn also sewing related words (that must be good thing, huh?).

I have not been at home so much so I will write from another place. i should bring some crafts to this place too. Flu is gone so things are better again.

Happy Tilda Day!

2008-09-23T19:09:00.004+03:00

...another try... I have some pc problems...

Besides that I have been sick (got a bug from health center in last week) I have been a nice and got 2 packages, one of was from Susi (sorry no pics yet) and today I got Tilda package (order) from Finnish craft club...Somehow I feel that I will gonna love that one.. And I absolutely love these!

Biggest canister is excellent for cookies!

Vintage Engel sewing set

"Masquerade..."

2008-09-12T02:32:00.007+03:00

"...Hide your face, so the world will never find you!"

I have learnt lately, that internet relationships can be fake or people who you talk with and consider her/him as a friend is not what you thought. Yesterday I said goodbye to one of that kind of person...I cared him a much and consider him as very close friend....until someone else told me that he is not what I think. It has been difficult to understand this kind of situations because I have no need to pretend or do fake acts on Internet...I am honest and polite all the time... But I know and understand that human psycology is not so easy piece everytime as we all have different kind of life, different kind of experiences and our brain works differently..

So, I am little sad and feeling quilty even I should not.
I don´t easily break my friendships as friends are hard to find nowadays
but honesty is important to me and is priority # 1. Without trust I have difficulties to build long and strong any kind of relationship.. I am not the only one who had this situation in short time because someone I love had this samekind of thing about 2 months ago. It will be even worse if you have feelings with someone who is fake and you´ll find it out in some point, break your heart too.

I have become more carefully now on Internet but not cynical tho...and I have found my all friends from Internet so there is also real persons.

I am also so pissed off because I can´t get my favorite magazines from this city anymore...I should start make foreigner (USA) magazine subscriptions or something...

Changes and happy things

2008-09-07T23:39:00.006+03:00

Not to sure where to start...many things happened in short time.

I got my ex husband back :) and we´re starting our relationship all over.. trying to make needful changes in our lives too. I have got a new friend (Hi Nancy!), signed up to lampwork class which will be in November too.

Let´s continue with happy things... Some Japanese things are just so cute!

If you want to see original band Loituma (Finnish folk band) to sing it then go here

Have a nice Sunday...or Monday...it´s almost midnight right now ^_^

My Kitchen curtains

2008-09-06T13:53:00.009+03:00

Over month ago I decided to buy curtains to my kitchen windows because it is not nice if some stranger would peek you up from outside. LOL So here is the promised picture, it is not good (thanks for my crappy camera) but you´ll get that picture. Next buy should be a lamp...I still have no lamp in kitchen´s roof because I have not spend so much time there yet.

I am getting even more in to crafts and Ialso joined in to Finnish craft book club called Jujukerho...so I have got 3 new books and bead set (not my taste).

Then I have a question. Where I could find this punch and how much it would cost???
I want it!!!

Found from: Hello Kitty Hell

Picture day!

2008-09-04T17:16:00.008+03:00

I have been sick and I am still battling with a fever.

Okay, I have told you about my first sewing project that I was doing at rehab center?
I finally got it finished and it was happy moment of mine. It´s not made of Tilda fabric tho, but pattern is from Tilda book.

Last week or so I got package from my friend Sayaka, my birthday package was late but it was worth of waiting!

Craft books

I have done more Posering (3d program) too, as I promised to make some for my friend :)

Back to also to graphics

2008-08-24T11:44:00.005+03:00

Just wishing everyone to happy Sunday.

I have got bead fever - for long time...and I love it.
And I have started making graphics again.
