FOUR THINGS THIS SUNDAY

Image
In between of being away working on Friday and Saturday, and before starting rather hectic May, this Sunday was a day off, letting the to-do list be for a little while. From snow to flowers in a couple of weeks! Apart from coltsfoot the scillas are always the first to bloom. The cows are also out now. A sure spring sign! Dag's bike is out as well. Practice-time! We haven't really been biking a lot out here as everything is so far away and there is not really much to bike to over here. This summer however I intend to help him ride properly and fix up my old bike  as well (someone stole the saddle the year before we moved away from Tapiola and I haven't ridden it since) so we can bike to the little lake . Then we had a popcorn lunch (because that is awesome!) and made Bear Grylls eat various yucky things and piss on a scarf to wear on his head.  (To keep cool from the heating sun. You learn new things every day! ) It was really fun to watch / do You vs. Wild with Dag though!...

BECAUSE LIFE IS TOO SHORT FOR PLAIN CLOTHING

Image
a.k.a. it was aliens! Some time ago I made myself a UFO-sweater! Somehow I managed to go almost 38 years without one. I bought an appliqué (via Etsy*)  and sew it onto a sweater. Or, first I carefully ironed it and then as it did not stick everywhere I went with plan B and sew it. *) Always Etsy. Late at night. But small birds that have their stores on that platform have told me most of their sales do happen at night so I am not alone in this world after all! The skirt is handmade by me late last year. Still have enough of the same fabric to make pants but those are very much still in their folded-fabric state, safely tucked away in a pile of other awesome fabrics. (Kind of like the  KITTY FABRIC FROM 2021 . Ta-F:ing-da! But as I remembered that it still exists it might very well be that it turns into a skirt or so this year.)
