Those quiet moments...

It's been quiet here, there has been a lot of bugs this year, and as people use the schools as sick bays, every goddamn bug spreads like wild fire. One good thing has come out from this, marathons of Bill Nye The Science Guy, he still is bangtidy!
I've had my sewing frenzy on occasionally, although my most recent project went a bit poopy, so trying to figure out how to alter it so the fit is better. Will make a post for sewing projects.
I've tried to spend some nice days in the backyard, sorting out flowers and making it decent.
Being Scotland, the weather tends to get pish at least once a day, so all the sun has to be enjoyed, while it's there.
 In a few weeks we will fly off to our holidays, so that is exciting, although I'll miss the dog terribly again.

 Cruden Bay and the castle remnants

 Nice scenery

 I'd have the view from my window any day

 Early bugs

 A quick trip to Edinburgh, did my voting duty for the Finnish election

 It is a nice city to visit

 And a shop with scandi goods was the best find! ( Nordic Affar)

 But it was nice to come back home to my mutts butt

She is elegant lady who acts her age, just like me.... ;)


Back soon with more stuff.....

Spring

It's here, sunshine and warm(ish) weather. For the few days it lasts here :)
Did a school fair selling my crafts, still crocheting my forever project, lil' un got a keyboard to learn to play the piano. I've been hunting for 2nd hand El Naturalista shoes, as I can't afford new ones, but ebay is sucking big time, so no luck. That pretty much sums up the last few months....
I try to ignore internet discussions as people are just too fucking dumb.

 The schnose.

 Bender is my fav!

Pippi Longstocking phone cover.

 Bits and bobs.

 Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice......

 Rocky Horror

 Hunky kitchen curtains to truly bring that spring into my chest.

 Marimekko fabric into a curtain

Sons Of Anarchy little shoulder bag

 Pimped up winter cape

Leggings with added decoration

 Derp!

 Looks so amusing, amazing weather and all that....

That's it for now. Back to my Metal Slug gaming.....

Winter Urgh

Well it's been quiet. It has been the season of mehs, fever and general crap. Working still on my cro(t)chet scarf, thin yarn and smallish hook is making it take an eternity. Alongside I'm doing the usual xmassy shit too. Did some no-budget crafting on halloween, and now it continues with xmas things.

 As it tends to piss it down here a lot, made a raincover from an old pram cover for little ones school bag.

 Also whipped up a fleece jacket from old blankets. Not perfect but cosy enough.

 Same fabrics made a nice wrap up fleece. Currently obsessed with the wrap around model, but really struggle to find hoodies so better make it myself then.

 Some cheapo halloween crafts

 These are still above my door. Some colour into the shit winter.

 My ofrenda, mixed in with Karelian things and mexi-inspiration.

 Mase a little light wreath for the window, as it is dark.....

 And reflectors!!!! Best way to go too, some schnauzering....

Got this beauty from ebay, sent from America, Finnish vintage design, Kalevala jewellery. Me likey alot!!!!!

Bonfire night sparkles...

Poundshop crafts, a little wreath for the door, soon it's time... :D


I was chuffed to get the Kalevala piece, as I do like their jewellery, have some already, and this one is based on a find from Karelia I believe, so nothing better than historical background too.

Also very pleased, my local health shop seems to stock Village Bakery Rye bread, so that is bonus, fed up with british "brown" bread.

Nothing else of interest is going on. I spend my evenings crafting and watching either Geordie Shore or Family Guy. I know, one fucking classy chick, but who cares.....

Picture heavy post

As there hasn't been anything interesting going on here, I'll just put heaps of pictures on. I have done some decent finds from charity/bootsales, so will include them too. Was supposed to go to a bootsale this morning but being shite weather with heavy showers, don't think it would've been very busy.

 Crafting

 Watching Oz while crafting....

 Bought me a new hairband from Tiger

 You had me at Hell :D (yes, supposed to be hello, but just how it reads for the first time...)

 Earth girls are easy!

 Ren and Stimpy classics.....

 Flower power...

My dog found a mummified tennisball from neighbours unkempt flowerbench. Thankfully she didn't find the mummified seagull.......

More flower power

 Sttttttiiiiiiiiiccccckkkkkk!!!!

 Nice blossoming tree

 Yamuna shower gel. Smells divine. Can't stop sniffing it..... Bought a yamuna hibiscus soap from the international street market last summer in Turku, it's Hungarian organic beauty stuff, and the smell has me hooked...

 More flowers

 Life is so much better when you rub yourself into a pile of branches..

 Dress my age and all that..... Bootsale find £1

That bitch took my pile of branches!

Yup yup

 Bumble bee I saved from being trampled over. Lifted the poor thing off the ground, still a bit chilly for them...

 Garden blossoming

Excavations.....

Went to see Frozen the other week on the cheapo kids cinema showing, and my lil'un hasn't been quiet since. I lost count the times I've endured some form of "Let it go", be it singing, yodeling, humming or screeching....It was good though! Finally slightly different ending, and the prince turned out to be a twat too.... :D
That's it for now, toodlepup!
