April shopping

I wanna show my favourite things I bought this month. Not much (which is good), but enough. Our home is far from ready (we still have a bed in the living room... Which is actually great for studying: comfortable but not the bed you're supposed to fall a sleep on. And I'm not even a student anymore but I still study Spanish almost every night!)


First: Tulips! (First time ever that I bought cut flowers to myself! Absolutely not the last. I don't expect receiving flowers every two weeks from my guy...:))

Second: Iittala mini Aalto candle holder (the pretty one in the lower corner)

Third: Retro art from my favourite second hand store (to our kitchen and hall door)


Fourth: A Nomination bracelet and a heart piece for it for 14 € from my second favourite 2nd hand store Fida, where my friend works. I always want to wear something on my wrist, but I haven't had anything there for a long time (I tend to lose everything I own if I carry them with me). Conclusion: happy at an affordable price :)

Flock


I'm trying to wake up my artistic side to compensate the working mind. So I came up with birds. And to compensate the lack of originality (apparently everything is about birds now), I tried my wings and just cut the birds really freestyle, scissors in right hand and a piece of white fabric in another. This way I got a flock of birds, every one an individual, just like we nature's creatures are.

Bean Soup

Weird weird Sunday. I should have a huge hangover, because last night I was so drunk I forgot to take my ID to the city after our housewarming party and I was just afraid I wouldn't get inside because I was so drunk. (Well, I did, maybe because I finally started to look like an old woman.) Anyway, this weirdness is probably caused by one pill I swallowed... I discovered a whole new world of no hangover. The secret is to take a B-vitamin pill before going to sleep :) Works almost every time, but I still think it's weird, because normally my Sundays after hard partying are pure hell. So, I dedicate this weird picture of my bean soup for this weird Sunday. 


Today was also the first day of year I really felt the vitamin D in me. I was sunbathing under a blanket, ankles outside the balcony. Eyes closed, cool breeze, hot sun, almost hearing the freckles multiplying. I don't know what would be better.

Helsinki in Pink

Helsinki in Green

Last autumn I thought I'd make a collage of green and red buildings in Helsinki, but I totally forgot it. Now that my computer broke (mutherfucker!) and I started testing my copies if they work, I found those pictures. So I said to then 'long time no see' and pushed them into one:
