Enjoying...

So lovely to be back. Home. I think in a few years time, I'll relocate back here again.
It's just too nice......

All the pictures are taken within Turku city area....The lake is a 25 minute drive from the city centre.
I miss the nature, and the ability for wild swimming....

So far I've been up to.....

This

I love sugar skulls, from Dia de los Muertos. The imagery and colours are wonderful.

Enjoying the summer colours

"Trim" the dog.

Get out my glue gun and left over flower bits from other projects....

Enjoy the lil 'uns cartoons........

Waking up to this:

And been making stuff like this:

Tonight, I'm flying to Finland, so this front will be quiet for a while, at least on the picture front..

Enjoy the remnants of summer and we shall continue the shit spewing later on...

The moment is getting closer..

Flying back home in 2 days.  I should be over the moon, but I'm not, as  I'm not keen on flying.
I'm not a complete aviophobe, but just dislike the stress of airports, take offs and landings.....

Life is full of fears though. If I'm not pooping myself for the flights, it's being scared of lots of little things, that I can't do much about either. I think too much, I hate it.

I'm trying to tell myself that I'd rather be 1,5 hours in a tincan in the sky, rather than stuck in a tincan floating in the sea for days.....
It is a quick way to travel. Some people commute with planes.
It was easier, when I was younger and flew with friends, and booze was free. Hah.

Off to get pics on the computer, so I can get things ready for the travels....

toodlepoo for now ;)

Celebrity baby names

Famous people need to stop naming their kids stupid names. Or if I ever have another one, I will name it Vagina. Or pick any other name from Austin Powers-movies. Or Septic Tank.
Idiots.
It also shows, that the mainstream of people are also fucking idiots, for actually giving a flying cock about these "celebrities". Who decided that  they were worth our attention? I know tons of other folk, who have more opinion, views and way of life that I'd actually value.

Done.

Summer Solstice

Happy mid summer, or summer solstice. In Finnish it's Juhannus. A week, and I'll get to enjoy the food, the sauna, sweets and the mighty ryebread I so badly miss.
Bought a box of Kalms today. Herbal remedy for stress. Did I mention I hate flying.
I do have a prescription for tranquilisers, but don't really fancy taking chances of having a shit in my pants on a flight.
So will see if the Kalms helps me to keep...well.. calm.

Now gonna go and sit on the sofa, open some alcoholic ginger beer, and relax.
Another bloody lurgy struck, so taking things easy. Been doing stencils and fabric paints today, so will try to put up pics at some point.

But toodle-loo for now, and Hyvää Juhannusta!!!!

Holy poop. I need to glitterfy. Everything.
I'm gutted that  the craft packs for Crafty Chica are hard to find this side of the pond. I do have a very soft spot for colourful mexi style imagery.
All the colours and glitter, want, NAO.

Father's day...huh....

Happy father's day to the ones who deserve the title.

My dad committed suicide almost 2 years ago. Not a single tear from my eyeballs for that one.
He was  spineless dick. But obviously enough, his new family wasn't that great either, that he would've wanted to stick around....
My other half gets sweet fuck all. Just the same that I get on birthdays, mothers days etc etc.
My partner has killed all the little celebrations in life.
I turned 30 last christmas, we were skint, like we always seem to be, and while we were told not to buy anything and have very basic christmas dinner, he was busy spending money on his motorbike.
So 'scuse me if I'm not gushing out with joy over the men I've had in my life.

My lil 'un drew pictures of the dog pooping on the card.
Spot on m'dear.
