Birds

Lately I've done only one post in week. But this is already second post so it might be I start to make more posts again!

Today has been so grey and rainy day that I wanted to bring some color to it. I got fashionated by the black birds behind my workspace window. I was so glad that I could be inside and just drink my coffee wearing a cardigan. But you know it's weird but even though it's cold and wet I have this thing today...I want to eat ice cream like my IG pic was telling you today. Well, soon I have to go out and drive my bike to home and maybe I stop by and buy the ice cream. Can't help it. Weird.

Slow Living - Cottage Weekend

This blog post is about reminding you and me that it is important to see your friends and family. I got an invitation to my friend's beautiful cottage last weekend. I spent time in beautiful nature and in a good company.

Doing things together is very rewarding and relaxing. It's so easy to forget to call, write or have a cup of coffee with your friend when you are occupied with your daily tasks and challenges. I'm like that. I can use my days without remembering the most important people in my life. Luckily everybody else is having a bit same kind of problem...

Short Poetry

This evening I wrote a poem with my camera. I needed one moment for private thoughts on a grey day. 

I think I wrote two poems. They both are love poems. For beauty of the nature and for love of being at our cosy home and having a delicious dinner. Thanks goes to my husband - once again. Now he sleeps on a sofa and I'm writing my blog...weekend is coming after one day and I can't tell you how happy I am about it! I hope you are too! 

 

What do you think would these work on the wall? Or as a card?

Baked apples

Third blog post this weekend - this have to be my record in blogging. Never had done so many in two days. I made baked apples as I've been thinking for so many weeks. Now it's done. It's very easy. You can find a lot of recipes about it. 

All you need is good apples, sugar or honey, butter, oil or vegetable fat and spices like cinnamon and vanilla. This time we used also almond flour. There are as many versions as makers. 

Here you can find one recipe with pics how it's done.

Well one lesson to learn still. I just have to tell you that if there's no light there's no good picture. In Finland it's getting dark earlier than before so it means before seven pm. It's almost too dark to photograph...or it is. Next pic is taken seven pm with good camera. Do you know that when we are in December the darkness comes about 4 pm. Can you imagine that?

These apples were very good with ice cream.

Hello Autumn!

Hello hello!

How are you? I've been a little bit busy with my work and a little bit lazy with my blogging. There have been new things to learn and new timetable to hold on. I have to admit that work takes a huge piece of my creativity.

In our little garden we've been harvesting as you can see from the photos. I have still some work left there like herbs should be collected and dried. I also should dry tomato seeds to be used next year.

We have beautiful and very colored trees at the moment so I hope I can make a post about those gorgeous ones. It's getting also colder so one really have to start to make a new woolly hat. I've made also another test with natural dye - avocado - with help of India Flint's tips and got much more color from those fruits. I'll blog about it in near future. I have also few DIY ideas growing up in my brain, haha. So as you see - I like to tell you of so many great things! But time is limited.

And if you are wondering what is the last picture, I can tell you that it is roots of tomato. Those roots made my day by bringing me a lot of beautiful red tomatoes, so thank you goes for them!

How is your life at the moment? New things - old favorites?

I hope you have a beautiful weekend!
