We are moving, across at least one ocean, in less than a year, at the end of spring. (Germany, England?
Still not sure about the details.) I have been looking forward to moving for the past four years of my life.
And now that it's near, the Getting Out Of Here, I'm starting to feel very settled all of a sudden. Like I
don't want to go. Like I need to get the girls' room done, finally, with a huge horse head for a wall, so we
have to stay here forever, and live happily, among pine trees and the most wonderful friends anyone
could ever ask for.

Sorry for the shopping craze. I'm dreaming, or making peace, or being silly. (All of them, I guess.)

Indulge me. :)

Happy Monday!

Pillow Talk

1. Moustache pillow 2. FEST kussen 3. Hills #1 4. Cuddly Cloud 5. Button cushion (on sale!) 6. Remix cushion  
7. Mono Cat 8. Marimekko Pienet Kivet 9. Little geometry 10. Horse

I'm dreaming of some new pillows for our blaaaah couch. I love the IKEA Stockholm ones we have, but I need some
new ones to compliment them. Any advice? Where do you buy your pillows? If only I were more skilled at sewing!
Wouldn't it just be so easy to make the perfect kind yourself! Maybe I will, ha!

New Coat

 



"Mom... No more pictures" (rolls eyes)

I got that coat for her from the flea market in mint condition for 5 EUR. When I got home, I realized it's from
this Danish kids label. What a lucky find! Yes to thrifting!

And now we are off to enjoy what's been promised to be a sunny weekend. We'll hang out with friends, go
play some Ultimate Frisbee, cook some good food, paint our terrace. (Clean, maybe.)

A happy weekend to you, too!

AEKI

The kids always assume we go "there" (there being the blue-yellow furniture giant that shall remain nameless) for them. But it's really for all of us. (Haha, good ploy.) I love that picture of J. (This is him trying very hard to keep a straight face for the camera. Unsuccessfully. That man rarely keeps a straight face, which is why I love him).

I feel like I owe you an explanation. I said a dramatic goodbye two months ago, and now I act like nothing has ever happened (I am pretty good at that, the acting like nothing's ever happened). Truth is, I felt exhausted. I haven't slept properly in what feels like ages. I simply didn't have the time then, and I didn't feel very inspired, to blog.

It's better now because J is on vacation, and he takes care of the kids in the morning, so I can sleep in a bit. He also takes care of them throughout most of the day, and cooks, and cleans, and is generally being a very good housewifey (don't tell him I called him that in public), so I can rest. I feel like a human, not just a worn-down robot, again (look, I even carry my camera places!). I think I have time to blog again (on some days more, ergo today, and on some days less). I won't have much time to read blogs, however, so forgive me if I don't come visit as often.

Okay, enough with the blah-blah: I'll blog when I have time, and won't feel bad when I don't.
