When DIY goes bad...

First to start off with a rant. A lovely friend of mine gave me a phone with a cracked screen, and I was very chuffed, as with a repair, I would get a very good upgrade over my existing phone. As usual, husband steps out heroicly and promises to do his repair magic on it. At this point I say, would it not be a better idea to take it to a shop, where people have done this before...His answer was " I am not paying that, I can do it"
Instead of forking out the 40 odd pounds to get this quite a valuable phone back to the old glory, we then got all the needed pieces for the repair.
Well guess what.
He broke the whole thing within the first 5 minutes into his "fixing".
What is wrong with men. Why insist on doing something you have no idea how to succesfully do it.
He then went on to congratulate himself by buying 3 ps3 games.
So I have my old log phone, and this blundering twit just cost me a very nice phone and 15 quids worth of parts.
 Can I turn into a lesbian or something.

And to continue on these blunders..... A little review on Simply Spray fabric paints...

They suck. Bought some from Hobbycrack, and reading the labels promising sunshine, happiness and a pot of gold, I bought into it.
Had a project where I needed fabric paints not to go stiff, so these would do perfect.
 If only the bottle worked.
I got to spray few little bits, and then ta-fucking-daa, the nozzle gets completely blocked, and after managing to get the blockage sorted, it stops spraying. No more pressure, and you can actually feel that there is a lot of paint left.
Had two different colours, and both had same problem.
After a few hours of shrieking, summoning the crafty demons to boot someone up the arse, witchcrafting, sourcery and luring glimmer of alcohol, drugs and cigarettes, I gave up and shoved the cursed cans into the bin.
Screw you guys, I`m going home.

Rocky Horror

Went to see The Rocky Horror Picture Show on friday.
One of the best things I have experienced.  It was UH-MAZING!
I love the movie, I have the soundtrack on CD. They don't make them like they used to....
I dressed up as Magenta, and in my group we also had Brad, RiffRaff and Frank' n' Furter.
We had a blast, theatre piece where audience does singalong and dances the time warp, just fabulous.
I was thinking to dress up either Janet or Magenta. Next time when I go see this, I'll dress up as Janet.
Go see theatre people. The experience is so worth the ticket prices.
I'm still in awe by the production, so I continue my day with RHPC soundtrack.

Thank you Rocky Horror
Brilliant actors, brilliant banter, and all in all an exciting experience!!!!

Card readings...

There is this lady, who does absolutely fantastic readings...I have gotten some hope and strenght from her readings before, so go check her lovely cute nalgas out in her blog here and if you want some spot on readings, that you can get there.
Otherwise it's been relatively quiet, nothing to blog about, yet.
Soon it's new episodes of Sons Of Anarchy, which I'm looking forward to, and also hoping that Futurama gets picked up by somebody, as it's too good show to cancel....
Mainly I've had a bout of  icantbearsed-ititis. Also the opening of the goddamn lurgy season was last week too, when the lil' un managed to get stuffy and then top it off with a nice heavy nosebleed. Urgh.
Poopsicles I say.

Craft-withdrawal...

Not done any proper DIY or crafting for over 5 weeks. Really need to get my arse back in gear and get shit done.I have a bag of jewellery I've made, and should try to sell them or something, as they take a lot of space.
I've been recommended to try out Etsy, but I think I preferred Regretsy....Hah
Might set up a facebook page, and see how it goes....At least that way it's free and relatively straight forward.
I need to buy wallpapers and paints too. Want to do up some bits here and there. Same reason I change my curtains at least 4 times a year. It's such an easy way to make room look different, and set the mood.
Just a quick post, sort of motivate-myself thing.
Shall return with crafty swag next time....

Back "home"

Last lot of my fucking about with the camera....

I missed my hound. That nose <3

Came back, and next day had a massive row with the spousal unit. I told him that this is not my forever home. His answer to that was chucking my coffee mug, thus breaking a drawer and screaming. Nice to see how grown ups know how to talk and communicate....He is a very solitary man, so he does not see, how we might need socialising, friends, nature and hobbies. We should just be happy sitting at home watching tv, or watch him play playstation.....

Men. Urgh.

Almost the end....

We'll be flying back to the horror on the 9th. Enjoying my last few days of motherland, then back to the same old.
Added holiday piccies....

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....
