happy Midsummer, everyone!!

Hauskaa Juhannusta, happy Midsummer! Have fun, don't burn yourself in bonfires, and don't forget to do Midsummer spells! ;-)

Haha, Midsummer is definitely my favorite pagan holiday in Finnish calendar! I love bonfires, midnight sun, all the spells, and the idea of ghosts wandering the earth upon the solar solstice. Also, keep your eyes open for will-o'-wisps tonight -- those mark hidden treasures (most likely buried troll or goblin gold) and Midsummer midnight is the only chance for a mortal to dig the treasures up (just be careful, goblins are nasty bastards, so get ready to run fast!). I'll spend this Mittumaari with my sister & her family, and I think we'll have fun - bonfires, BBQ and so on, and even the weather seems great. Lovely.

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 :-)

Love ~ you can't find it; it has to find you

My best friend Silje and her boyfriend just announced their engagement, and I'm so happy for them!

...so, I want to take this chance to officially congratulate them and wish them all the best ❤

I'm simply ridiculously happy for them, they're such a cute couple! :-)

We're all a little weird. 

And life is a little weird. 

And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours,

we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness

- and call it love - true love.
