Happy days

Last weekend was a great one. We didn't win the Eurovisions, but we did indeed win the Ice-hockey championships - our last victory was 16 years ago so it was just about the time. And I have many other fellow hockey-fans to agree, that this was just the best. B-E-S-T.



The weekend was great craft-wise too, I made many (many-many-many) little brooches, here they are, and bigger pictures can be seen here. I have still many ideas for yet more pins, I'm just about hooked on making these... Which one is your favorite?

Have a wonderful, sunny and happy week!

Yours,
Mia

I hope you have enjoyed your celebrations Mia, 6-1 what a result. Your new brooches are just the sweetest, my favourites are the little trio in the middle and the blue/green one holding his heart baloon. You are very clever, they look so cool on your bags too. Have a crafty week,

It was a dear come true, Jane, we were just ecstatic (and actually still are!)...Huh. Thank you for the pin love, I am loving them too *blush*

Happiest week!

Hello Mia! Vow - that 6-1 was soooo good!!! I just heard from one pilot who was bringing Finnish turists here, how they flight during the game and finally he announced the result 6-1 and all went grazy!
Difficult to choose one of those beauties - today my favorite is foxy or the sweet bird with heart!
I enjoy always so much your happy sweeties!
Love Teje

I like the ladybird pin x I have to say that we (my hubby and I) thought the Finland entry should have won with the opening song at the Eurovision. It was a great song and reminded me a little of coldplay. I did not think much of our entry - Blue.

Have a fab week!

Hi Teje,

We have had hockey-crazy days! And I love it! Thank you so much for your nice comment on my pins, made me smile!

Happy and crafty week!

Mia said...

Thank you so much, Shanti! Your comment made me blush :) and my weekend was a GREAT one, really!

Have a wonderfully happy week!

Mia said...

Hi Leah,

I liked our song too (it was a good one for long time! We have had so many BAD ones). Blue didn't do it for me, either, they're not bad but a bit boring ;) maybe?

Happy and sunny week!

Yours,
Mia

Congrats on the 6-1 win, and I can't express how adorable that collection of brooches are, so very lovely, especially with their photos all grouped together. Bethx

Mia said...

Thank you Beth, I am (almost) feeling like I did something to gain that win ;) we lived pretty intensive hockey-filled two weeks (and loved it)!

I'm happy you liked my brooches!

Happiest weekend!

Yours,
Mia

Hi Mia,

Hooray for Finland, what a win 6-1.

All of the brooches are adorable, but my favorites are the lady bug and the red/white birdie with balloon. Have a great weekend soon.

Happiest weekend to you too!

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...
