Chocolate

Look here chocolate lovers! There's a wonderful little shop in Vasa called Liisa Koski where they sell all kinds of coffee and old style sweets and chocolate. It smells soo good there!





It looks so tasty but I'm anyway not a BIG chocolate fan, as I also wrote here a few months ago. But I could maybe eat one...or two :)

You say you want it...


I have been in a weird mood lately, maybe it's this weather. My Goood, why can't it snow?! I want a white Christmas.
I'm still "making" my last gifts tonight and tomorrow morning we're going to Vasa. I'm looking forward to make all the food with my mom for Christmas! Almost everyone in my family are vegetarians, so we're making the best veggie-food ever, right sisters? But my dad and Rasmus goes for the ham, I'm sure they will be a bit jealous of our food:)

Have a nice weekend!

Friday evening


It's frrreezing outside

So it's good to be indoors with a glass of warm glögg!


The sky was beautiful yesterday

( I was just too lazy to go outside and make the picture).

Christmasgift glimpse..



Bags I made for Christmas. Will make more in different colours. It's a stressful time now before Christmas...I'm always too late with everything! But I still got time to sew a few more bags:)

Eine kleine disko


On Friday it was Eine Kleine Disko at "kasernen" in Vasa. It's a electronic music party organized by Rasmus and Jocke. This was the fourth party that they made and usually it's always at our school but this time it was in Vasa, sponsored by Platform.
A great evening though I still was a bit sick and took it easy.


The party was held in an old building which used to be a barrack for the military. Nowadays it's a place for artists who have their studios there. A big and nice place but the bathroom area was a bit weird ;) ..I wonder how they used these tubs..?


Dancing people

Cold


Buhuu, I've been very ill the past week so I didn't have the power to post anything here! But now my body is recovering and I got new energy:) The short trip to Stockholm was great but it was after that I got sick so unfortunately I missed the Christmas market which was last sunday.

Megaman


How can I get so addicted to Megaman?! I loved it when I was a kid and now I got M.M III and M.M IIII old Nintendo games from Rasmus!
I know, I am supposed to be a grown up but when it comes to nintendo I guess I'm still like a child:)
There's a risk I skip school for this. I can say that I'm sick just so that I can stay home and play Megaman...

My weekend


I got warm, purple socks from my granny:)


we had some drinks on Saturday evening


before that we went out for a walk


..and Spöke was happy to see me! (I hope;)

Pacman


I'm pretty happy about todays work, finally I got my "painting-mood" back. I will make a set of around 8 paintings on wood and I started today. I'm actually gonna paint from photos which I normally don't do. Don't know how long this will take but I'll put up some pictures of it later.
Yey, tomorrow I'm going to Vasa again over the weekend. Will be nice to see my family and last but not least....Spöke!

Picture above: the mirror picture of my camera looks like Pacman at the bottom of my chocolate cup:)

Who doesn't like the oldschool Moomin style? I bought theese postcards in the shop of Kuntsi museum of modern art in Vasa. There they had many different ones but I guess you probably can find them in almost any place! At least here in Finland:)

.....

There is a very very nice second hand shop/café/art shop called Malakta in Malax, a village outside of Vasa. I have been there only once and I got amazed by it! So cute and filled with nice second hand finds, also re-made things I guess. They are having a Christmas market there soon and people are welcome there to buy and sell creative things. I'm sure I will be there!

I got this book from my dad on my birthday! He had bought it somewhere in Copenhagen. Beautiful art. I love it!

Monday monday monday


A new week started again! I'm off today so I will just be at home and take it easy.
.....
Later I will start with a BIG drawing :) It's Pyssel-time tonight! Didn't know the word "pyssla" in English but I checked it out and it means "pottering, to potter"...?

Goodbye 23, hello 24:)

I had a really nice birthday yesterday! First my family came, we ate tortillas and had a good time. A few hours later the party started!


I made the "rainbow" cake and Rasmus made the heart cake.

Friday 16 November 2007

Party tomorrow


Tomorrow I'm turning 24. So I will have a party! Right now I'm thinking of what kind of cake I'm going to make...I want to make the cake to look a little different, not just a normal creamcake with strawberries. Hmmm....;)

My bathroom wall looks like this so far. I just have to hang up more pictures and it will look nicer! It's a mix of photos and stuff. The bathroom lamp is broken so I put a small tablelamp there until I fix it. A bit dark in there now..


Robot Grandmother & Robot Grandfather postcard by Nam June Paik also hangs on my bathroom wall;)

Old frames


I found these frames yesterday when I went to the fleamarket looking for a "flowertable". I decided that my bathroom wall is going to be full of art:) So far I put up two pictures there but it will look nicer now when I've got more frames. I will take away the old pictures from the frames and replace them with something else...but maybe I should keep the picture of the great old man as it is? :)

I will show how my bathroom wall looks later...

Time for Christmas gift preparations...


I really like making my own Christmas gifts. It's nicer to get and give something that is handmade..When I was a kid me and my best friend started making gifts already in July or something:) maybe a bit too early. (but we gave away things from our homes too..my mom wasn't too happy when I had given our garlic crusher away to someone).

Right now I have many ideas what to make and give away! Hope they turn out to be as good as they are in my thoughts..

The first snow!


I'm home again after a nice weekend in Vasa. It started to snow on Saturday morning! The first snow always feels great and it makes everything so bright. Now when it is November the days get darker, only a few hours light during the day:( So I hope the snow will stay.

It was so nice to see everyone, and spöke too of course:) But I didn't take her with me. She loves being at my dads place, plus I think she made a lot of cat-friends there too!

Me & my cat


This is my door from the outside.
Today I'm going to Vasa over the weekend. My cat Spöke is now living at my dads place in Vasa since a while, maybe it's time for her to come home to me now. I miss her! This is not a very good picture of her, she's not very photogenic you see;)

Rockbuddy from ZH


This is a free card I got in Zürich a few years ago. I would like to know who made it! Anyone who knows?
(sorry about the bad quality)

Sunshine!


Finally it was a sunny morning I woke up to! The days have been so gray and boring lately. So today I feel like I have some extra energy to do all the things on my long list of things to do (or at least some of it). I'm so exited about tonight because I'm going to make the video for the installation! -with help of course:)

Mars , wow!
