Hi there,

How is your week going?
Tomorrow I'll be setting up a booth
at the Recycling Factory fair in Helsinki
*excited*

Last night I crafted a bunch of give-away packs
If you visit the Recycling Factory this weekend
find the info desk and fill in the questionary
lucky ones will win goodie packs
which include donations from exhibitors
You may get a Karuski surprise!

hand stamped and sealed with a heart 

I really hope they will enjoy these small surprises

Happy Thursday everyone!

Somehow this week seems shorter to me
must be because of Easter Monday
which was a holiday here

It's been warm and nice all week
so I decided to make my creative space post
about gardening things

Tiny tomato seedlings got re-potted last weekend

I found these lovely rose gloves from a local gardening shop

Couldn't resist poppy and bean seeds, either

Ula is another anxious wanna-be gardener here

Other good news:
My studio space will get an interior magazine feature
I was interviewed this Tuesday *excited*

Happy Easter

Just wanted to wish you a Happy Easter!

It's a warm and sunny weekend
here in Southern Finland *happy*
Yesterday we went for a walk
in the woods and lake nearby
and even spotted a sea of wood anemones
spring is finally here!

I got tulips from the store

homemade pasha for the Easter

purple wood anemones look like spring to me

I hope you're fine
Enjoy the weekend!

Hello Thursday,

Last weekend I was at the design craft market
It was really nice, I enjoyed a lot.
This week I slowed down a bit
I've been photographing new pieces
I'm putting them to my Etsy one by one
some are already there *smile*

plum post earrings

apple blooming necklace

Do you have plans for the Easter?
I'm not traveling anywhere far from home
but will spend time with H
it will be fun to cook together
looking forward to that

Happy Easter to you!

ps. Lovely soothing images for your eyes and soul...
I'm loving Krista's photography

Have you seen yet
the spring catalogue of Lovely Clusters?

sweet images I bet you'll love it.

It's About Buttons

Hello!

Just two days ago I came up with a new design
It's so funny these new ideas pop in my head now
when I'm busy making for the weekend's craft market
But what can I say, I feel grateful
It's not easy to make something new and fresh
and these ideas don't come every day
at least not in my case.

They turned out long cases, perfect for pens, pencils and brushes

I covered button blanks with scraps of vintage fabrics

I love to treasure left over fabrics, even tiny pieces of them

I got a lovely donation of button blanks from Susanne.
Isn't she the sweetest ♥

Have you made something with buttons lately?
