Well almost right now. Do you know we moved the kids' house to this new place? It still has no walls, but when the walls are there, V said she will move in there for the whole summer. They sitting up on the roof.
She turned 9. We did everything we always do: printed invitation cards with Print Gocco, made a dress for her, held 2 parties, bought a hydrangea.
It is summer! I love all these flowers everywhere. We've been swimming in 3 different lakes so far. I can't wait to be on summer holiday.

These photos are from Järna, Sweden. I went there for some Waldorf studies -- oh it was one whole month ago! Inspiring trip. These days I'm doing an interesting internship at a school for kids with special needs in Helsinki. I get very emotional there. Those kids! And the teachers and all the assistants! What important jobs.
After that it will be just 2 more weeks until the summer holidays, I look forward to that.
Tomorrow it's mothers' day, soon my baby will turn 9, her school will turn 30.
Today we had a photo-shoot, pizza and ice-cream in town. And a great exhibition at Taidehalli.
...but I like series. And this is my most ongoing series. It's different again, with apple blossoms. Spring is so nice, and this year it's long. Tomorrow is the 18th morning in a row that I've had to wake up at 6 or 7. If anyone disturbs my sleeping on Friday morning they'll be in trouble. I've also been staying up late. One of the better reasons to stay up late was to see Jenny Wilson. The last time I saw her live was when I was pregnant with little V. She is great. Last weekend I had a little side job and I got to meet wonderful ladies. There are good things in life. Lately I've had to dig a bit deeper to see them. But it's mostly just because I am so very tired.
Greetings from the sunny house! Some of these are from when winter came back, the light looks already different. The black cat just turned 1 and there was a party for her. Organized by V, with raw cake and 9 guests (6 kids, 3 grown-ups).
I have sewn 6 knee patches to jeans, and looking at the jeans back in use makes me pretty happy. The kids happened to be wearing them at the same time.
Spring time is so good and soooo busy. I'm taking it too easy, so it will be even busier. I'm not gonna make a list but there are many many things I'm happy about.
All the more reason to look at Berlin pictures as the weekend brought us snow -- a lot of snow. Dislike. The weekend was nice though. A new dress, dinner at friends', friends for dinner. Another week is starting. It starts to feel like working life is no picnic. And studying at the same time. Dealing with all those people. And all those kids. But I still do like it.
