Happy Thoughts

by Sofia   -   in Good things for kids  Shopping

So many things are making me happy now. Although I´m going to be honest I´m not very thrilled at not being able to work at the moment because of the shoulder and it does complicate some even mundane tasks but I do not want you to think I am a whiner! I know it could be something serious or something that could not be fixed. At least I have a lot of light shining bright at the end of the tunnel. So enough of that. The good part is my girls are very happy to have mommy home all day. I have more time to read ( I´m just reading Paul Kalanithi´s ” When breath becomes air”, so well written and touching). I can have coffee with friends in the middle of the day. I can ask my husband to wash my hair ( can´t do it myself at the moment). I can be in pyjamas until noon if I like, at least on some days. Anyhow, it´s not that bad if you count out all the things I can´t do and the pain. Soon I will be as good as new I´m told.

But the happy thoughts. Being able to be present. The light! Who else is ecstatic about the light? The thought of summer house opening season too. We are planning a terrace renovation but if I can be honest with you, as much as I dream of a bigger, better & new terrace I think I could do with a summer of no renovations. Maybe next year! Anyhow I am so happy to know that the opening can be counted down soon. Also as excited ( obviously!!!)  about the other count down. Every day the new place takes leaps now towards moving day. Although I know there are still some pretty major steps to take, like tiling the wet spaces and building a kitchen, I am more than thrilled to see the crown moulding and such in it´s place. It makes a huge difference. But for now I stick to decorating it in my dreams, making lists of what still needs to be done, ordering fabrics and having chairs covered in them and curtains made of them. ( Spoiler alert, I´m only having one curtain made, we will use two old ones and see what we want for the rest of the house once we are settled in). I´m also excited to see the lighting, wallpapers and knobs and door handles arriving. It feels so much more tangible now. So a definite happy thought, all of it. 

Here are some more happy thoughts for you. The ” cute for kids” kind…

I have been lusting over this Liberty print collar made by Nona K. So I just had to buy it for Bubble Gum who loves collars and collared shirts. It can be worn in two ways, either the bow in the front or as a ruffled collar with the bow as fastening in the back. Gorgeous either way. The beautiful pink cashmere dress is from Youngest Fashion and you have seen it here before, it´s old, but as good as new even after a lot of use.

Valoa

by Sofia   -   in Random

Ihana valo täyttää taas päiviä ja ensimmäiset kevään tuoksut ovat ilmassa. Olen innoissani. Loma oli fantastinen ja saimme todella nauttia lumesta. Nyt odotan innolla kyllä jo tätä kuivaa ja valoisaa aikaa. Olen tällä hetkellä jonkinmoisessa tupla limbossa kun odotan olkaleikkaukseen pääsyä ( ei mitään dramaattista tai vakavaa, kivuliasta ja arkea haittaavaa vain) ja odotan uuden asunnon valmistumista. Se eteneekin nyt harppauksin kun vihdoin pohjatöiden jälkeen alkaa tosiaan näyviäkin asioita tapahtua. Jalkalistat ja kaappien rungot on asennettu ja pian alkaa tapettien laitto. Kävin eilen aamulla uudella asunnolla ja voi mikä valo sinne tuleekaan. Läpitalon huoneisto on ylimmässä kerroksessa ja siinä on paljon ikkunoita joten valoa todella tulvii sisään. Meidän molemmat edelliset asuntomme olivat aivan ihanat, mutta hieman hämärät, joten nautin niin kovasti tuosta valosta.

Nyt blogigin jatkaa taas normaalisti pienen loman jälkeen.

Toivottavasti voit hyvin!

Paljon aurinkoa päivääsi,

Gone skiing

by Sofia   -   in Random

We left on a little holiday so the blog is taking a week long break. 

Me vietämme seuraavan viikon ulkoillen, saunoen, pelaillen ja kimpassa kavereiden kanssa kokkaillen. Itse en olkapääni takia valitettavasti pääsen hiihtämään murtsikkaa lainkaan ja katsotaan pääsenkö laskemaankaan, mutta aion silti viettää aikaa ulkoillen raittiissa ilmassa. Tietokone jää kotiin joten palaan loman jälkeen blogin pariin.

Hyvää hiihtolomaa sitä tällä viikolla viettäville!
