Apparently Samsung S7 (as many other models) is waterproof. Which proved to be true today. I was enjoying a nice boat ride with my hubby, and as I was stepping out of the boat onto the dock, I dropped my phone into the lake. Which is maybe 160cm deep where the phone fell. (5feet 3inches or something like that) So I just stripped and went into the water and fished the phone up with my toes :D And yeah, it was working just fine, like it wasn't wet and dripping at all. Still, let me tell you, it was a BAD feeling seeing it sinking there. Going to buy one of those floating phone bags before the next boat ride...

I think my daughter might have just made the prettiest gingerbread cookie I have ever seen.

I have always been extremely afraid of spiders. I would say it has been close to a real phobia. Even the smallest of spiders sent me screaming away.

Well, we moved to the countryside, more or less, in last May, and now we have this whole garden/yard/woods around our house. We have berries growing in bushes and apples in trees, all that jazz. I have been picking the berries a lot, making some blackcurrant juice and putting the rest of the berries in the freezer for the winter. Well, as you can guess, there are bugs out there, a lot of them, and spiders. Webs all over the berry bushes and such.

And yes, somehow I have been kind of getting rid of my fear. I don't panic right away if I see a spider somewhere, although I do quickly find a way to kill it...

Today I was picking raspberries, and there honestly were eight spiders in the bowl I was putting the berries in, at different times of course. And I just calmly either squished them against the bowl or lured them out with twigs and threw them away. No panic, no nothing. I'm pretty proud of myself, and kind of surprised. I still get the "eww spider someone please kill that" feeling, if I see a bigger one, but at least I can now deal with the smaller ones. Thumbs up for me :D

[Error: unknown template qotd]Depends on the company I'm in. If I know they are either interested in grammar or don't mind the correction, I might say something. Usually, however, I do keep my mouth shut, because I understand them anyway, so why possibly insult anyone.
In English I usually notice the most common mistakes, and the one that bugs me the most is "should of" instead of "should've." In Finnish it always catches my eye when people write "kumpa" or "niimpä", when the correct way is "kunpa" and "niinpä." Yeah, I suppose I am a grammar nazi...

[Error: unknown template qotd]My first best friend was born just six days before me, our moms knew each other, her grandma took care of us when we were little, and we're still friends. So we've always known each other, and we've never lost the friendship, which is pretty unbelievable and also amazing :)

Anni (framedinlove),

This guy that I know you have a close relationship with ;)



Whom do you think he would like more to hang out with?



Let me know, and when they come out, I'll get you one. I hope you are having a good day, and that the spring and summer won't be too hot... :)

And the winner of the sock-giveaway is... ranmaru_fics !
Congrats to you :)
Send me a private message about your desired color scheme, shoe size and other possible details.

Better luck next time to everyone else. Yes, there will be a next time ;)

(Ja Laura, sulle voin ne mustat sukat tehdä ihan muutenkin vaan. Mikä se kengän koko oli?)

This happy is because my brother is going to have a baby :) They've been married for a year, and had apparently tried for a couple of months, and now they're very much pregnant. I'll have a new niece or nephew, and I get to knit cute little things for her/him! Happyhappyjoyjoy indeed :D

It is way too hot here, for me that is. When the temperature hits 30 C, all I want to do, is sit in a cool shower. Which I can't do, because I would be a wrinkly blob, and our water bill would be huge :(
Also, I'm trying to keep my tomato plant alive, and now I need to water it a lot, and I'm prone to forgetting it usually. Now I can't slip up, or bye-bye sweet little tomatoes... I so want you.

Hey, you all :) It's spring, which is sort of nice, although I don't enjoy the waking of the bugs at all... Or all the dust in the air. But still not complaining.
Saara wanted a spring/summer hat thingy, and this is what I made. Also, she now has pink hair :D




She also wanted thin socks, and I found a fairly difficult pattern. They look a bit funky, because she pulled them over the jeggings, but you get the general idea anyway, I think.




And as a nice ending, this is a gingerbread tree Saara made. Doesn't look Christmassy at all, when you use these colours. I love it, and I wish I could eat it, but it's a price for a raffle...
