Yet another week has passed, and we're a teeny bit closer to spring. It doesn't feel that much, though, as this week has been coldest in a century or so, all days -20C or more, and nights and mornings as cold as -35C. For you, who live in more warmer climate, these are just numbers, I know, but for even us Finns these temperatures mean very, very cold. Throw in a dentist, using the car in these minus degrees and a some quite urgent orders and this could have been a horrid week.
But no, it wasn't that bad. I was busy, yes, but I am quite exited of these new, more summery linen&birdie-bags, and finishing a order(s) and getting packages shipped always makes me smile. And hey, my dentist is a wonderful chap, bad jokes and perfect at his job - makes me smile too, actually. And the weather...That's just Finland, really.
But all that said I am still very, very happy it's Friday. I am taking the weekend somewhat slow, and dream of a spring clean in my working space. I would love to get all the brightest and lightest fabrics, buttons, trims and other pretty stuff in front row. I have a few (read: many) empty glass jars waiting...
Happy weekend!
Yours,
Mia
Happy weekend!

These linen and birdie bags are really gorgeous - the birdies have such a sweet look - and the colours are so soft and spring like. I'm sorry you've had a bit of an unpleasant week, but at least now it's over and you can relax, and next week will be much better!! Have a wonderful weekend, and enjoy sorting out all those pretty crafty things! Helen x
I now see what has kept you busy Mia. Those bags are stunning, as I've said many times before they're little works of art!
Beautiful brightly coloured birds. :)
I hope you have a relaxing weekend and keep warm, those temperatures are very severe! See you next week.
Love, Vivienne x
Thank you, Helen!
I am quite happy with the bags, too, even it took some head-scratching with the materials and techniques.
Have a wonderful weekend and see you next week again!

Mia
Thank you so much for thinking of me, Viv! My week was just so full with everything from morning to evening I didn't find the time to blog. I promise to behave better next week :)
It will be cold here still next week, but then we should have some warmer days.
Have a wonderful weekend, dear friend!

Dear Mia, those temperatures are just SO low. I am not sure I could function...! I am glad the dentist has made you smile and your beautiful new bags certainly made me smile. How busy you have been, they are, as Vivienne says,..stunning!Have a wonderful weekend my dear and keep warm. Billy sends furry kisses too,

I think I've just frozen to death even thinking about those sorts of temperatures - I'm such a wimp!!!
I'm absolutely in awe of your ability to create such beautiful things Mia. These little birds are stunning.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend Mia.

Hi Jane,
I'm struggling with the temperatures too, it's alright as long as the car is not needed. I just cannot stand driving in these - degrees, inside the car it's colder than outside :)
Have a wonderful weekend and happy daffodil and snow drop spotting!
Yours,
Mia
Hello Jill,
It's pain to us Finns too :) But it should get better after next week.
I am so happy you liked my tweets, and with them I wish you a happy, sunny weekend!
Yours,
Mia
Hei Mia! I feel sorry that you have so cold weather! It's good that you have your crafts to something lovely to think and do! I love your new bags! You make those birds so sweet with their round bellies! The first green is my favorite!
If you like to have a walk on the beach - join me today!

Thank you so much for your offer, Teje, I wish I could join you! A little beach-time would be lovely!
Have a happy, sunny and crafty weekend and many greetings from Finland again!
Yours,
Mia
Such cold temperatures- your poor hands and feet. Your birdies are stunning!
Hi Kerry!
My feet need woolen socks constantly, but the camera-operating outside today just about killed my fingers. But inside it's nice and warm - snuggly weekend to you too!
Yours,
Mia
So creative - really like your bags and the colours you have used x Leah
Thank you, Leah!
So great to have you visiting me here! Have a wonderful weekend and see you soon again :)
Yours,

Hi Mia,
That is cold, I will never complain again about our pathetic British Winters. I love the linen bags, especially the pink with green bird as it's such a lovely colour combination.
Hope you have a thaw soon, Bethx
Hi Beth,
I hope the weather gets warmer soon, too (should be better by the end of this week) but oh how much lighter the days already are here! I hope you're having a lot of sunshine and flowers appearing here and there!
Happy week!
Yours,
Mia
