Experiments

Now lets see how this thing starts out...

Pretty thing of the week #5

Isä tekee itse paljon puusta esineitä, tuoppeja, veitsiä, lastoja, kirnuja, melkein mitä vain oikeastaan! Eikä hän käytä niiden tekemiseen ruuveja tai nauloja ollenkaan, kaiken tekee itse puuta vain käyttämällä.

Kuvassa siis yksi isän tekemistä voiveitsistä.

So my father makes a lot of objects out of wood, pints, knives, churns, basically almost anything! And he doesn't use any screws or nails, he just uses wood to make these.

On the picture is one of the knives made by daddy.

Tetris

Today I saw some foamy material and had all sorts of ideas what to do with it. First I imagined it would be perfect for blocks which made me think of Tetris and that my boyfriend is a big fan of that game. I made some blocks, attached them on the wall next to his workspace. And since he approved it and didn't tear it down, I guess I can post a picture of the result in here as well!

Mini vacation

Easter really felt like mini vacation. And since it wasn't really sunny either, we just sat at home, watching movies and gaming. Time well spent! But after long time, I finally felt well rested. Usually weekends just fly by so you don't even notice them but this time it really felt like weekend. Though I got really confused about the days, it felt like it was Sunday everyday.

But! I actually did something else than watched TV all the time. I found that my sketchbook cover was a bit too dull so I cut and glued some dull single coloured origami paper on it. The result:



Basically what I did was just cut paper without really thinking what I was doing.

I've also been trying to hunt down a blender, haven't yet found one that's just for me. Oh yeah, and almost finished a pair of wool socks. Spring is coming but there's never too many wool socks.

Happy Easter!

Finished!

Yesterday I got some lovely presents from "mother-in-law"! A nice origami set with new book and equipment (yes I love origami but my boyfriend really doesn't like it when I flood his table with little boxes and cranes). Also a really cute Harley-Davidson purse, can't wait for a reason to use it (should we go to bar later?)! And.. YARNS! Pretty colored yarns! Theres never too many yarns. I especially like the lime colored, it makes great brainslugs.






I also finished something nice, pair of crocheted gloves. I found a pattern for them in a finnish craft magazine - Suuri Käsityö. I used DMC 8 pearl cotton for it. I just bought 40 grams of it, just like the guideline said but apparently I only needed about 25 grams. Well, 15 grams of that yarn to spend on something else. Maybe some small doilys?
