Growing up fast

Aapo turned 4 months a couple of weeks ago.

Aapo täytti 4kk parisen viikkoa sitten, tässä viralliset synttärikuvat ;-)

Happy Easter!

Hyvää pääsiäistä!

Stitching weekend

Last weekend I participated in Violarium's Stitching Weekend. What fun it was! It was so nice to see fellow stitchers, and meet people familiar from the blogging world. Lilian Kok from the Netherlands was there to teach us, and she had designed a tin top and a scissor case for us to stitch and finish.

Thank you Leena, for organizing the weekend! And thank you, Lilian, for such beautiful designs, and teaching us new techniques! And thank you, fellow stitchers, we had so much fun together! It was great to meet you all!

Here are some photos of the weekend:

This is where we were

This is the older building, where we had all the meals

This is what the table looked like with all our stuff...



Finished works of some stitchers were showcased

Violarium was there, too

And here are some of the finishes and wips from the weekend

I stitched the tin top, but did not finish it yet (will do that on Saturday).
This will be a mother's day present, for my mother.

Kiitos, Leena, viikonlopun järjestämisestä! Kiitokset Lilianille ihanista malleista ja hyvästä opetuksesta! Ja kiitokset kaikille teille kanssapistelijöille, oli erittäin mukava viikonloppu hyvässä seurassa! Oli tosi ihanaa tutustua teihin kaikkiin!

Aapo stayed the weekend with my parents. Apparently he had a good weekend, too. He was so tired when he came home...

Aapo oli hoidossa vanhempieni luona. Ilmeisesti silläkin oli mukava viikonloppu, se oli aivan poikki kun se tuli takaisin kotiin...
