Ongelma ratkaistu/problem solved!

So, I'm trying to start writing this blog th9s way: the text is first in Finnish. Then the photos and descriptions in both and then in English. Let's see how this is going to turn out.

So, in Finnish/Suomeksi:

Pohdin ja pohdin ja pähkäilin ja pähkäilin ja tulin siihen tulokseen, että kopioin idean blogista Kootut murut.

Siis sen, miten hoidan tämän kieliongelmani suhteessa blogin kirjoittamiseen. Jotenkin ajatus pelkästä englanninkielisestä blogista häiristi, mutta sitten taas täysin suomeksi kirjoitettu rajaisi teoreettista yleisöä pois aika reippaasti.

Joten tulen kirjoittamaan blogia tästä eteenpäin, kunnes muutan taas mieltäni, molemmilla kielillä.

Tosin sillä erotuksella, että kirjoitan ensin suomeksi, lisäilen kuvat ja loppuun kirjoitan jaksamisen mukaan about saman sisällön englanninkielellä. Dunno, toimiiko tämä idea pitkässä juoksussa, mutta kokeillaan nyt kuitenkin sitä.

Rehellisesti sanottuna, tässä on kaikki mitä minulla on tänään annettavana. Meillä piti olla (osuuskunnan kanssa) pieni myyntipöytä paikallisessa tapahtumassa, mutta se peruttiin joten nyt olen lähinnä ihmetelly ihanaa säätä ikkunan tuolla puolen, rapsutellut koiraa, juonut kahvia ja ihmetellyt että mitä sitä tekisi. Päädyin kirjoittamaan tänne. Ehkäpä nappaan nyt muutaman päivän luettavana olleen Slaughterin Kultaisen saaren ja siirryn sen ja ison teemukin kanssa ulos. Kuulostaa suunnitelmalta, vai mitä? Ja puhun nyt Frank G. Slaughterista. En siitä toisesta joka elää edelleen.

Olen pohtinut jo hetken messu- ja heräteostosystävällistä artikkelia, jossa voisin kuitenkin edes jollain tavoin hyödyntää kultasepänalan artesaanitutkintoani. Viimeviikko menikin näiden parissa. Eilen illalla tosin tajusin, että Kooky Gems tekee jo vastaavia tuotteita, mutta toivon löytäväni omanlaiseni tyylin joka vetoaa myöskin ihmisiin. Kuvassa siis vanhoista LP-levyistä sahattuja kaulakoru ja korvakoruaihioita.

I've been trying to figure out something a bit cheaper to be sold on trade fairs. And maybe to courage to buy stuff without planning it for days or weeks. Last week I spent with these and last night I realized that Kooky Gems does this kind of product too. I'm hoping to find out my personal touch to interest people. Oh and what are these? They are soon-to-be earrings and necklaces made out of old LP-records

Entisen kouluni takana on purkutyömaa, olen jo syksystä lähtien kaavaillut hyväksikäyttäväni tilaisuuden ja kuvaamalla siellä pienen sarjan. Nyt sekä ajoitus, että sääolosuhteet olivat puolellani. Niin ja turhan usein viimeaikoina kotiin jäänyt kamera mukana.

Nearby my former school there is this old house that has become demolition site during the end of last year. I've been planning to do some photoshooting there and finally the weather and timing was on my side. Not to mention the fact that I finally had my camera with me. I've forgotten to take it with for few times more than I had hoped for.

Ensimmäinen mielleyhtymäni oli raunioitunut temppeli kun näin paikan, jossa ennen oli sisäänkäynti tähän puutaloon.

My first association, when I saw the place where used to be the entrance to this once-wooden-house, was ruined temple. 

Niin ihastuttava. Ummmmm. Ilme. Yleensä hymyilen kuin joku idiootti, joten tänään sain aikaiseksi vain irvistyksiä...

Such a lovely. Ummmm. Face. I always smile like some idiot, so today I only got  these grinns...

In English

First I must apologize that this post doesn't include any kind of true content. But finally I was able to make up my mind about how to write this. Writing fully on English felt a bit clumsy, since it's not my mother tongue. But then again using only Finnish would line down the (hopefully-to-be) readers a lot. So from now on I'll start with Finnish, then some photos and after that I'll do my best to write it down in English too. The cpations will be the same way: first in Finnis and then in English.

And to be honest. That's all I had to say today. We were supposed to have a trade fair or so, of some sort today, but it got cancelled and after that I've just been wondering what to do today. I ended up drinking loads of coffee, scratching the dog, enjoying the weather (outside the wondow, yes, I'm that sad humanbeing) and writing this down. Hmmm. Maybe I'll take that Frank G. Slaughter I've been reading for few days (the Golden Isle) and go outside with it and a huge mug of tea. Sounds like a plan?

Kisses!

Accidents happen

Hmm, I first thought that I'd just update the first post a bit to a less self-glorifying form, but ended up rewriting it completely. For some reason it doesn't show that it has been edited, which confuses me a bit. Well, anyways.

I'm back, just like I hoped I would be.

I've been sick for few days now. (That's what you get for sauna and running around naked. Alcohol was involved but not harmed. Just used.) I don't tend to get fever and this time was the worst ever.

But since we don't know eachother well enough for  you (not saying there was anyone reading this) to be interested in my feverish nonsense.

Speaking of which (interests) I'll continue with the list:


Baking

The first one I ended up naming 'Two girls and way too many cup(cake)s', because I made 24 of them and the other girl (or my dog, you could say too) was forbidden to have any. So I had to eat my way through them alone. I won, but haven't baked anything sweet for a month now.

Sorry about the crappy picture, but it's my first ever ryebread. It turned out quite well, I must say. It was delicious.

But then again, I'm not much of a baker either, I love it. But I do it only once in a while, so not any clever tips to be expected from here. More like "yay, I didn't burn these cinnamonrolls". I normally burn at least half of what ever I'm doing when it comes to baking. I can't just sit and wait in the kitchen and watch the stuff in the oven and if I do something else too, then *kaboom* they have burned before the time's even up.

Random activity, crafts, what ever you want to call it:

Because of my love for photography, I can't say how bad I feel about the quality of these two following pictures, but because of the lighting in the location is horrible, I couldn't do much. I could have taken it out too, but it would have been quite a lot more difficult to represent the usage.

The story is simple. One evening I got this idea of giving a new life to pair of reindeer antlers (I didn't yet have). At our school canteen I asked if my friends could search for a pair of those for me while shopping second hand (which they are very fond of too) and in the same moment one of them told me she had just seen a pair in a local place. So, bought, some polishing, spray color, some glossy spray varnish and ta-dah! The backgroung (sorry, forgot the word in finnish too) was made at school, it's aluminium and was made with sand casting (if that's even the right word, feel free to correct). To be honest it wasn't that fast project as I made it sound like. It would have been, but sometimes I get bored with some stuff and then it takes a while to return my interest.

And by the way, all you haters. If I didn't warn you already, I'm a mink lady, I don't have anything against using vintagefur. First of all, it's old, burning it wouldn't give the animal its life back. Second, it's way more ecological choice (cause it's second hand) than the syntheticmaterials that people wear so much (and it does actually decompose too, your acrylic sweater that is usable for two winters doesn't do that).

So, if you must tell me how horrible murdered I am, feel free to. I'm planning to take my dog hunting too. And I prefer my meat as raw as possible.
And, oh, yeah. I don't stop wearing fur if someone throws a paint bucket on me (hasn't happened yet, I'm glad). I'll just search for vintage boutiques and average second hand shops for a "new" one. A fur is best vintercoat I've ever had. It's warm, it breathes and if it has lasted for 20+ years already I'm quite sure its not the worst choise for a wintercoat. So, all you vegetarians wearing leathershoes and vegans using materials that don't ever decompose, look in to the mirror. I'm not a saint, but don't pretend that you are.
And I think I'm trough with the listing, at least for now. I think I'll try to open up my list a bit better in the next post.

For the closure, the jewelry. Obvious things for Miss Obvious Prime like me:
