My holiday came, was and went as well as did midsummer. It was really wonderful to have some time off with my DD's. We went to Serena swimming for 8hours, spent the weekend at my brothers cottage, the girls swam alot, even though the watertemperature was only 13,5 degrees celcius, warming them selves in the sauna, we played different kind of games and I even got to stitch a bit :), ate and enjoyed our time at the cottage.
Torstaina oli postilaatikossa ihastuttavaa postia Ritvalta (ei blogia); sain ihan oman roskiksen :D Ritvan tapasin maaliskuun lopulla Haukiputaalla ristipistoviikonlopun aikaan ja hän on mitä ihastuttavin ihminen. Aivan mahtava huumorin taju ja todellinen kädentaitaja! Ihanasti hän halusi meitä "etelän naisia" Kirsiä, Katria ja minua ilahduttaa tekemällä meille jokaiselle oman roskiksen - personalisoidun :D Minä sain (sori, kamera onnettomassa kunnossa, skannattu kuva vain, joka ei millään muotoa tee oikeutta roskikselleni!) näin ihanan, juuri minun värisen roskiksen :D Se on ollut jo ahkerassa käytössä - oli mukana viikonlopullakin mökillä, ja nyt lepää pistelytuolin käsinojalla odottaen lisää roskia ;)
Last Thursday I had the most wonderful mail in our mailbox; Ritva (no blog) had made me my own garbagebag :D I met Ritva at our stitching retreat in March and she is just the most delightful person. She has a great sence of humor and is a real handcrafter! She wanted to remember us "southern ladies" Kirsi, Katri and I with sending us each a personalized garbagebag :D
I received (I'm really sorry for the picturequality that doesn't do any justice to the actual bag!) this beauty, in my colours :D I've used it with all my flossends - I even had it with me during our weekend to the cabin. Now it's waiting for more flossends in it's own place on the arm of my stitching chair :)
Tänään töistä tullessani odotti postilaatikossa kutsu; Kirsi oli pistellyt minulle ihanan kesäisen kortin pyytäen mukaan korttivaihtoon. Näin ihana tuo kortti on;
Coming home from work today I found an invitation in our mailbox; Kirsi had stitched me a summercard inviting me to take part in a cardexchange. This is the lovely card;
Iso kiitos Kirsille ja Ritvalle näistä kauniista, ihanan kekseliäistä ja ihastuttavista lahjoista!!
A big thank you both Kirsi and Ritva for these beautiful, wonderfully inventive and lovely gifts!!
