Posti tuo / The postman brings

Olipa kiva saada postia. Odotettua sellaista. Ihmettelinkin jo etta mihin ne olivat jaaneet. Ostin Suomesta kangasta. Lasten puuvillaista kuviotrikoota. Pohkoa ehka joidenkin mielesta mutta taalla kangaskaupasta on tosi hankalaa loytaa kivoja lasten kuviotrikoita. Vauvoille tarkoitettua kylla loytyy mutta eipa nyt 5-vuotiaalle viitsi vaaleanpunaisesta trikoosta, jossa on tuttipulloja ja ankkoja ja helistimia mitaan vaatetta tehda. Peruspunainen, valkoinen, musta ja harmaakin loytyy yksivarisina mutta siihen se melkein sitten jaakin. Eurooppalaiset ihanat kuviotrikoot eivat ole tanne tietaan loytaneet. Jos joku tietaa jonkun hyvan ja edullisen nettikaupan (muun kuin Etsy) ostaa kuviotrikoita, niin please kertokaa.
Eilen illalla sain itelleni vahan omaa aikaa. Aikuista seuraa ja viela kasitoiden merkeissa. Parin muun taallapain asuvan suomalaisen rouvan kanssa ollaan pistetty pystyyn ns "martta-kerho". Melkein kokonaisen vuoden tauon jalkeen tapasimme jalleen ja oli kiva vakertaa jotain, hopottaa niita naita ja paaasia se ettei tarvinnut lapsia raahata mukana. Tapaamme aina vuorotellen toistemme luona. Ja kylla yksi kupponen teetakin aina kasityon lomaan mahtuu.

It was so so nice to get some mail. Mail that I've been waiting for. I was wondering a bit where it was. I bought some fabric from Finland. Printed cotton knit for children. Maybe a bit silly in someone's opinion but believe it or not it's very hard to find nice printed cotton knit jersey for children. You get the baby prints with toys, babies, duckies, pacifiers, bottles etc but can do anything for a 5-year-old from those. The basic red, white, black maybe gray you can find but otherwise the selection is limited. The gorgeous European printed cotton knits have not found their way here yet. If some one knows an reasonably priced online store (other than Etsy) that sells them, please let me know.
Last night I got some time for myself. Crafts, good company and NO CHILDREN. We meet once a week with few other Finnish ladies who live around here and do our own crafty things. The whole thing has been on a break for nearly a year but I'm so so happy that we started again. It means I actually have a chance to make something and get some other company other than my darling girls. We meet at each other's houses in a rotating manner. It's so nice to talk while doing something with your hands and there's always time for a cup of tea while creating.
