"I have never had so many good ideas day after day as when I worked in the garden." ~John Erskine

I had such a wonderful evening with Erja! ❤ I simply love living so close by to a dear friend - my backyard is just a stonethrow (quite literally, actually) from Erja's frontyard - and today we did some gardening together! :) First at Erja's and then at my backyard.

See, Erja is my collegue from cemetery, and unlike me, she actually is a gardener (studied to be one, I just learnt by working). So now that I'm for the first time enjoying the luxury of having both back- and frontyard, Erja is a great help with picking suitable plants and all. For example, today she helped me to put up a fence to my backyard (my backyard was a little too... open for my taste) and she also suggested some suitable vines for me etc. ❤ I'd love to have a HUGE (half wild) parthenocissus climbing all over the walls at the backyard! I have always loved them...

Maybe soon I can start posting photos from my own garden. Haha, I'm clearly looking forward to get back to work next week - my greenthumb (I didn't even know I had one) is ITCHY! Sad news by the way - my good friend and beloved boss Abby won't be working at the cemetery anymore ),: It will be a weird summer at work, not to have her around anymore... but guess what it means - I'LL BE THE BOSS! Whohoo, am I excited or what?! ;-) Anyway, I'm not even trying to update everything that has happened, it has been months since I just blogged, so back to this Sunday evening - the plan here was just to tell you how much I suddenly love gardening & decorating my lovely little home.

Yeah... I don't know. Living in this wonderful apartment has really chanced me - for better! Suddenly I'm all about flowers, baking cakes, gardening and all that. WHAT TO HELL? I can hear my closest friends saying "Who the hell are you and what have you done to Sanna we know?!" I mean... For example, eventhough I have worked as a gardener at the cemetery for 5 years, it has always been nothing more than that - work. But now I'm suddenly reading gardening books, making plans for my own garden... who knows how long my enthusiasm will last, but hopefully at least for this first summer.

Gosh I'd have so many photos to share... from my sister's wedding (!!! ❤ !!!!), stuff I've knitted recently, damn and I haven't even shown photos from this new apartment of mine, and now from the garden... ohh well, I promise to show you some day. This was just a short and badly written update about my garden dreams.

sincerely,
Sanna

project: dream catcher

Abby knows I love dream catchers, and she brought me this awesome DIY dream catcher from DesuCon ^^ I know the result isn't the prettiest thing ever (I'm not actually that good with this kind of things, but I still enjoy doing them every once in a while), but I still like it. After all, this was the first time I ever tried to put a dream catcher together by myself, and from now on I at least know the basics.

pretty cool, eh?

yours truly-

PS: I was such a bad blogger in May, now I'm trying to be more active with this thing, whohoo! =^.^= Also, I created a new tag for these little projects of mine - I have a feeling there's more to come, I have some ideas I want to try out sooner/later :-)
