Haaste / Award

Tuuma ja Toimi-blogin Johanna haastoi minut esittelemään tutustumisen arvoisia blogeja, joilla on alle 200 lukijaa. Tämä onkin aivan ensimmäinen haasteeni... kiitos Johannalle tästä huomionosoituksesta! 

Lueskelen kaikenlaisia blogeja, useita hyvinkin satunnaisesti mutta tässä muutama joita seuraan suht' aktiivisesti...

Anna on näppärä käsistään ja blogi onkin ihanan värikäs ja elämänmakuinen. Kauniita kuvia, ihania ideoita ja taitavia toteutuksia. Kaiken kaikkiaan ihana ja inspiroiva blogi! 

Milla ompelee ja virkkaa paljon... hauskoja ideoita, taitavasti toteutettuja käsitöitä ja runsaasti kivoja kuvia :)! 

Jaana tekee mitä ihanimpia neuleita ja on todella taitava tekijä! Ehkäpä minäkin jonain päivänä tartun taas puikkoihinkin... 

Ihania blogeja on netti pullollaan joten eikun surffailemaan :)!


I got an award by Johanna of the blog Tuuma ja Toimi  to choose some of my favourite blogs (with under 200 readers). This is the first award I've ever received so... thank you Johanna!!! 

I think I'll choose a couple of english written blogs as well... so here we go...

Lovely Karen has a wonderful garden and she sews a lot. She also loves to scrapbook and bake... lots of nice recipes in her blog. Check out! 

Amazing Valérie takes gorgeous photos and has a wonderful taste in everything. I love the way she sees life through her lense! 

There are lots of wonderful blogs out here so it's hard to name just a few.


See, those two crochet projects have been finished and are in use :)! 

It's been raining today... and soon I'll take my younger one for a haircut and go shopping for new clothes for the older one as a birthday present. Isn't that what the days off are meant for ;)?!

Cards...

Some of you know that I've been making all kinds of cards for years. I've made all my Christmas cards since 1992 and a lot of others too. I've got lots of ideas in my mind and in my sketchbook and when it's actually  time to make something, I just gather the ideas and start working.

So here are some of the cards I've made this spring... 


Angry Bird themed invitations to Lauri's birthday party (made real quickly on one morning as I realized I just had to make them if I wanted to invite his friends for the party... it happens...).


Angry Bird themed birthday card for Lauri :). And the little needlefelted piggy as well. 


Birthday card for a male relative... 


Birthday card for a friend... 


...and so is this one. 

I just finished up a wedding invitation project for a friend... will show you that later. 

It's been a busy spring. It's been quite cold too... but finally, there are flowers!!! 
Love those color spots in my garden... 


Hope you're all having a beautiful spring!!!
