No change in my crafting mojo yet but I got challenged by Anski of Cute & Cool Creations to answer eleven questions and then make up another eleven to send to eleven bloggers I’m a fan of. ...
How could I forget that tonight is the my biggest TV-night of the year? I’m pretty vocal of my love of Eurovision. I’ve watched almost every single one ever since I was a kid (exceptions ...
Past 9 or 10 weeks have been hard. If you remember, I dislocated my knee pretty badly (I’ve deleted the post where I told about it since) and circumstances surrounding the event, made it very t...
Getting back some feeling of normalcy. Here’s to celebrate, a random picture from Paris: Alright. Not so random. A fabulous haberdashery that also stock quilting fabrics, Kokka (!) and yarn. Mo...
Image via Notorius Unpublicus Little did I know that after my last post here, my life would turn into world of pain. Here’s a long story made into incoherent short one… Last Tuesday, I di...
Lucky for me, the lust for stats is common for all bloggers. Hey! Finally a nerdy feature I don’t have to be embarrassed about! When WordPress added the Top Views by Country, I thought meh, I a...
I received this award from Anski of Cute & Cool Creations. I’m very flattered, of course but I’m not going to be passing this on. This particular one requires choosing 15 other blogs ...
We are in the double digits! Only 42 more samples to go (and only two weeks behind the schedule). I feel like I should be receiving some kind of reward. Maybe a gold star sticker. Running stitch seem...
I pulled myself together and finished two more samplers today. When I left my at the Pin Tangle comments, I said that I’d like to have a catch-up week but now I’m not sure I need one. Cou...
I felt like I was back in school when I stitched with chain stitch. Not that we did embroidery in Arts & Crafts but stitching chain is almost the same in crochet and we did a LOT of crochet proje...
My love for Madonna is no secret. She has gotten me through more low points and girls night out in my life than anyone else. When I was kid, I did a choreography together with my cousin to Express Yo...
Do you like Finnish style from 60s and 70s? Are you mad about things for kids and decor? About a week ago, Leena Renko aka Pikkukiiski, linked up a print design she did on the wall of one of the Face...
Few weeks ago when I was at Valtteri- flea market. I found this vessel/jug for 5 euros: Nice one, isn’t it? At first I just took a photo of it but then my sister urged me to go back and buy it....
I found this in my stash last night. My plan was to make another dress, maybe with a Liberty- print but this find saves me from the hassle and the money spending. There’s two meters of this so...
Vintage floral dress material. I have no idea of the fibre content but the red-orangey colour is just lovely. I may be developing a thing for orange as another one of my recent purchases was this one...
You know those moments when you finally get to use a lovely print fabric you’ve had in your stash for a quite a few years? Last week I bought a simple tricot dress from H&M and I liked how ...
A little bit over a week ago my sister waved a coupon for a cheap trip to Estonia in front of my face and asked whether I wanted to go or not. I screamed yes for the opportunity to leave my apartment...
I can’t believe it’s over two weeks since I last did a sampler for Take a Stitch. Well, I’ve been busy with selling, thrifting and I even managed a trip to abroad! But more about th...
Finished piece for Hanne Bang’s In a War, Someone Has To Die- artwork. I was supposed to send this a week ago but kept forgetting to take it with me whenever I went for errands. Oh well, it sho...
Vintage shelf papers. Made in Finland. Soon to make their official appearance as backdrops in my TAST- series.
Started last night and it’s almost finished. A sampler for this.
This is what has been playing non-stop at Thrifty Household since last night. And THIS should have been Madonna’s first single. Love it! Seriously, I should be working through my fabric stash ...
This is my train stop/station. Well, the station building doesn’t function as a station anymore. There used to be an antique store which closed down couple of months back and there still is a f...
This is my To Sell- pile. About half is already photographed but I still need to take measurements and come up with snazzy sales pitches. Today I sent two more items I managed to sell. A yellow lamps...
After the less enjoyable herringbone stitch, I tackled chevron stitch which proved to be more interesting. Where as doing herringbone, I felt like I was just basting things together where as chevron ...
After neglecting my stitching for over a week, last night I managed to make two samplers. Yes, two! Herringbone stitch was the first one of two I finished and I must say I found stitching this boring...
This came in today. I paid 7,50 euros for this 30cm x 115cm piece. You know why? Because when I was kid, the curtains in our sauna was made with this fabric. And I am sucker for nostalgia…Hmm,...
Straight up from my friend’s Facebook… “If you open your eyes and it’s all black, you’re unconscious.” Hilda, aged 7. “Blueberries are good because thereR...
Few weeks back I showed you a sneak peek of an altered book I was making. It was meant to be a Valentine’s Day gift for my old friend but amidst this purging chaos I totally forgot about it. No...
I’m not talking about the book by Sofi Oksanen but my fabric stash and other items that are cluttering my apartment. Craft and design bloggers talk about this now and then. De-cluttering is nec...
