http://www.kuulumisia.com Tiny sparkles of creativity, illustrated life in the middle of Europe Sun, 13 Jul 2008 09:47:21 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I haven't updated this blog for quite some time now. That's maybe due to the fact that I simply haven't had anything to say. My domain account will expire at the end of this month and I am not yet sure whether to keep it or to let it expire. If ... http://www.kuulumisia.com/2008/07/13/asleep-or-awake/ Treasures from the basement, found on my latest trip to the basement. Bags, bags, bags, stashed away in a box from an Asian minimarket. Want to hear the best part? I'd completely forgotten about this collection, dating back to my mid-twenties. It's like finding a 50 euro note, albeit a very ... http://www.kuulumisia.com/2008/05/16/found-in-a-box/ http://www.kuulumisia.com/2008/04/27/untitled-on-a-purpose/ Things I have done today: Saw a bullfinch and a bunch of other birds bathing in a pool of water on our yard. It's been years since I last saw one. Baked a cake using no recipe whatsoever. It became an Easter cake, with raisins and lemon zest. Painted and glued with my ... http://www.kuulumisia.com/2008/03/30/spring/ I woke up at 05:15 today. Yes. Family is still asleep. The only sound I hear is the laptop's quiet humming. I am having a cappucino drink from a cup that says fantastische Moeder which my husband got me from Antwerp. The university has sent me a course certificate that says ... http://www.kuulumisia.com/2008/03/27/what-a-normal-day/ They have multiplied! This weekend, apart from using the glue stick like crazy, I've been baking. Oh, and did I mention suffering from pink overdose? If only I had a good camera, you'd be suffering too. http://www.kuulumisia.com/2008/03/16/509/ Easter egg paper ringlets. I don't know what to do with these yet, except that I just have to create at least 70 more! I want to fill the living room with these. Or perhaps cover the front door glass panel, or glue them together to form a curtain. Any ... http://www.kuulumisia.com/2008/03/15/kick-start-to-easter/ Pattern: Silly Apple Cozy I knit this using Lana Grossa Mega Stoppino (this colourway is awesome) with 5mm bamboo needles. The knit finish was too cubic in shape for my taste so I felted the apple cozy quite roughly using boiling and freezing cold water and a wooden spoon for battering. Nice! http://www.kuulumisia.com/2008/03/09/silly-apple-cozy/ Still in love with magazine cutout collages and circles. http://www.kuulumisia.com/2008/03/04/a-hidden-connection-is-stronger-than-an-obvious-one/ If all the snowflakes were candy bars and milkshakes oh what a snow that would be! I'm sure blogs all over Europe are full of these kinds of photos today but since we didn't get that much of snow this year I hope you don't mind. http://www.kuulumisia.com/2008/03/04/if-all-the-snowflakes/
