The Knife

Loving the new Knife album Shaking The Habitual. Weird enough for me.

Beautiful and sunny Saturday morning to everyone! Waiting for summer.

Rainbow shirt

A while ago I promised that I would share the pattern for this rainbow shirt with you. This is one of  the most reblogged things on my blog and so many has asked me where I got that shirt, where's the fabric from or where they would get the pattern. The thing has been that I sew the shirt myself, the fabric was a sale found from the local fabric store and I didn't have any pattern when I made it.

But now I've made a pattern for you! It's simple but so is this shirt. I think anyone can do this!

Just get your favorite fabric and then it just needs few little stitches. And yes, this is a one-size model, but you can also make it smaller or larger. It's up to you. The measurements are from the shirt that I made.

1. Cut the front and the back pieces. You can see the sleeve holes marked on the pattern.

2. First sew the shoulder seams and the side seams together  (front and back pieces). Remember to leave the sleeve holes open. Now you actually have the shirt roughly done!

3. If you want to make look more finished, hem the sleeve holes, neckline and the bottom.

Native Americans

For me there is something really interesting and intriguing about the Native Americans. It's like they are very much connected to the nature and their roots. So I love these photos taken over a century ago by Edward S. Curtis. He photographed different tribes before the Western influence took over.

Kettledrums is here!

It's finally here! Our food blog that has been coming for a while now. But this weekend we had the time to make it actually happen. So may I present you: Kettledrums!

Darkened cities

What would cities look like if there were no lights at night? This! Photographer Thierry Cohen has made an incredible photo series of the dark cities under the night sky. Using precise coordinates and combining two different images he creates these amazing photos!

Woodkid / Lunice / Ponto de Equilíbrio

Wow! It's been a while since I listened to music at night. I've always loved it, it makes the music sound even better because of the darkness and quietness. And the video of Woodkid is making my body shiver.

Grimes to Flow

Of course Grimes is coming to the Flow. Of course.

The Friends of Finnish Handicraft

I love the textile designs by The Friends of Finnish Handicraft (Suomen Käsityön Ystävät).

Terrain

I love everything in Terrain! This doesn't do any good for my fever to get outside and build my own garden somewhere.

Eggy Easter

My Easter was perfect! We just got back from Helsinki where we had the most amazing Easter holiday with my friends. We made a great dinner together, decorated eggs, talked, just hanged out and watched RuPaul. And I got new hair also! Pastel revolution! (Also my hair colours are a good theme for a drinking game, I've had so many colours.) Thank you to all my darlings! You're the best.

Guns don´t kill people. Lazer´s do!

I want this new album by Major Lazer. I also want their jacket. I want to see them live. And I want to free the universe.

Light

The light of spring sun is everywhere. I would like to have this space for my mornings. Huge windows,   double-doors to the balcony, large kitchen and coffee and breakfast in the light.

Natural Easter

I just booked a course for me and my man: natural dyeing with plants. I'm so excited, I've always wanted to try that and the best thing is that when I talked about this course I saw on a local school's website, Z also got interested and now we're going together! I think we will be collecting different plants the whole summer (if we're not longboarding).

And as the Easter is here soon, maybe I could try natural dyes for the Easter eggs too. I remember my mom doing that when I was a kid. Beware hippies, here we come!

Older than the Universe

There is a bit of a paradox if something is older than our universe. But this star just might be. It gives me a lot to think about at nights. Simple figures: our universe is 13.8 billion years old. And this star: 14.5 billion years (ok, within a measurement uncertainty of +– 800 million years)! Very fascinating.

Thrift shop

Today I heard about this song and my friend told me that they totally sing about me!!! So so so cool! Because they totally do! "I wear your grandad's clothes / I look incredible / I'm in this big ass coat / from the thrift shop on the road". I love this song!

Wilder Quarterly

I'm addicted to Wilder Quarterly. I found this publication while surfing on the Internet and it just screamed my name. Here's how they describe themselves:

"Wilder Quarterly is a publication for people enthralled by the natural and growing worlds. In our pages you’ll find green thumbs, rooftop gardeners, foodies and chefs, seed savers, architects, hobby farmers, horticulturalists, innovators, amateurs, and experts. Just your everyday mix of growing enthusiasts. Each issue is ‘life through the lens of the growing world’— indoors and out, culture, travel, food and design. Published seasonally for this generation of growers and the next."

I'm seriously thinking of subscribing this.

Open your eyes

I love sleeping. It's one the best things I know. And while you're at it, why not sleep on the most beautiful mattress I've ever seen! The coolest thing is that this Open Your Eeys Bedding mattress is all-natural and diy. 100 % cotton canvas tubes are filled with buckwheat hulls and then twisted to this beauty. I dream of sleeping on this.

The Grow Bottle

How great idea is this! Recycling wine bottles to make little hydrogardens and Grow Bottles look amazing too. I wish I had a glass saw. All my wine bottles would be little gardens.
