Long time, no see.

Life took over a while ago, and I've only had time for some very random activities outside work, toil and that sort of thing. However, looks like most of the wading in the darkness of little bling is...

Give us our daily bling...

I got suckered in at one of the Helmetti monthly challenges again. The challenge was to bead with or create something untypical for you. Now, few things are more untypical for me than using seed bead...

Obsession.

I do love my greens. A beading friend offered some, and I took 'em like I snatch 'em. Even though it means I have to stay up till midnight now with other obligations and deadlines. But once I got hol...

...Just Get Me to the Church on Time!

Another wedding, another unimaginative choice of wedding gift on my part. I think very few of my friends have got something else than jewellery for the last few years. It's bracelets this time, fitti...

Christmas is Coming!

I tend to be very optimistic about Christmas gifts - I've the ideas ready in July and then get the stuff done two minutes before it's time to go. This year, however, I've already (almost) completed a...

Weirwood Heart Tree.

I'm an utter fan of George R. R. Martin's works. I first read the Wild Cards, in the nineties, as a friend recommended then. Then A Song of Ice and Fire (which have been lately published in Finnish b...

...Then Marinate Well...

I'm not only a hoarder, but also a marinader. When I happen to get a pretty strand or piece of beadables, and stumble upon a brilliant idea regarding it (and I rarely buy a beadable unless I'm struck...

Weathering it.

We had a lovely wander in the island park of Seurasaari yesterday, hence I had time to make no new jewellery yesterday. But as nature has been one of my greatest inspirations regarding any activity, ...

Blech.

I'm sick as a dog, and really tired with and bored of it. My legs are so wobbly with fever I can barely walk to the bathroom and my head's full of cotton wool. And it's the first really sunny and war...

Once upon a time...

I was unduly inspired by those medievalistic necklaces I made a fortnight ago and ordered supplies in sterling. Bali silver does have the look and most of their silver-smithing methods could have bee...
