♥Marapytta♥

Remember this - my birthday present...? Well, finally today I took part in one of Marapytta's workshops.
It was such a good day - very concentrated, very instructive and very very useful for me. As you might know I am not a very skilled sewer, and learning how to sew properly is a big wish. I was very exicted about participating in one of Marapytta's workshops and to see if could manage to sew some of Line's beautiful models. But I was positively surprised by her very simple and straightforward approach and I actually came home with a dress and a pair of leggings for Frida Viola - and the appetite for sewing more.

I can only highly recommend Marapytta's sewing school - also for beginners as myself - and this Friday is not my last one in the very cosy and aesthetic rooms that house the sewing school. I'll show you my projects later when the last details are finished.

touristic

Today it was Constitution Day in Denmark so all schools and institutions were closed. Frida Viola and I took a day as tourists in our own city. We visited some classic Copenhagen sites (and also some favourite playgrounds as well as the puppet theater). Frida Viola fell asleep in the bike trailer on our way home - it's quite demanding to be a tourist.

Why Finnish babies sleep in cardboard boxes - very interesting and sympathetic phenomenon!

Mercedes Hernáez & Alejandro Sticotti

I enjoyed reading the interview with Mercedes Hernáez and Alejandro Sticotti at Freunde von Freunden.
I love to read about how people create and manage to fulfill their dreams.

Look at this fantastic house that Mercedes and Alejandro constructed themselves. And the very green and beautiful surroundings. Alejandro Sticotti is an architect and Mercedes Hernáez is a graphic designer. She creates mini guides of Buenos Aires and a very beautiful collection of handmade notebooks. She also runs the little shop mono that I would love to visit if we ever come to Buenos Aires...

Summer has arrived, finally.

Have a nice weekend!

kindergarten birthday

Today we celebrated Frida Viola's birthday with her kindergarten. It was the first time they all came home to us, and we were all quite exicted about it. Frida Viola woke up very early this morning, and we decorated her raspberry cake together.The medals are some A and I did very late last night - the queen's false teeth were lost (stolen by Tommy Toothless!) and the kids had to help her find them again. It was a nice and fun day (and Frida Viola was thrilled about the pink hairband she had from one of her little friends).

little vintage toys

We found some nice little things at the flea market when we were in Sweden last time.

Sabine Timm's wonderful works at fine dage!

Rhubarb compote with lots of vanilla and the first little pink strawberry flowers from the backyard.

This movie, this summer - can't wait to see it!

Have a nice weekend!
