Blue&white

It's that fabulous time of the year again when we, Finns, can will get crazy together. People gather together with family and friends, some go to bars with big screens, we BBQ, some have a few *ahem* drinks, and everyone loves every minute of it. The celebrations might even go until tomorrow depending the result. Of what you ask? Oh well, of the Ice Hockey World Championship Final of course. We made it to the Final, against all the odds and with a bumpy ride, and are after our third cold (previous victories 1995 ans 2011). Nothing on no one can stop us watching, not the weather being +30C, or the European Elections (I voted in advance last week just in case and so did many others). This evening we'll shout and dance and hopefully win too. I know this is not everyone's favorite subject, but I can't help it. Blue and white are the colors to wear here today. 


Wishing you a wonderful Sunday too!

Yours,
Mia

This time of the year...

Usually around this time, when children go back to school, and you can just about to smell the autumn, I start to dig deeper in my fabric...
