Where did a week go again? Time flies when you’re having fun. That’s unfair actually. I want more time to have fun … Among the stuff Charlotte brought from her storage we found this old Santa decoration. I made him some 15 years ago. He’s fun to make …

Snovej Circle 3
During Thanksgiving Charlotte and Lueck drove all the way to Oregon (that’s over 1600 miles one way!) to fetch their things from a storage. Among the things were some of my things too, and some that I had given Charlotte. We had so much fun going through all that! It almost felt like Christmas!

And no weeding needed … Today I admired all the pretty wild flowers, and got inspired to pick some. My busy crafter’s fingers started playing with them,…

Chocolate Rocky Mountain Cake
My daughter asked me to bake a cake for her husband’s birthday party last week. She had decided to have a surprise garden party for him at a small community hall/museum close to her home here in Finland. The theme for the party was America. Appropriate since it was held just one day after 4th…

Freeform CAL by Dada Neon
I have a day off! I can do anything I want. Wow! My husband went to Estonia and I’m home alone! It’s the last day of the long Midsummer weekend here in Finland. (Yes, I’m in Finland again. For the summer.) After taking a quick glance at my various projects, writings, photo editings and…

Spring Twigs
Take a walk into nature and bring home a bunch of twigs or branches! Any branches will do. From deciduous trees, bushes, or shrubs! My favorites are birch trees, apple trees, and branches of wild blueberry plants. Place them in a container with water. In a few days they will sprout sweet, new leaves! Branches…
