Silly people

Today was a good day

Today was a good day.

We bathed in the sun.

Looked at pink clouds passing by.

Enjoyed being together.

And cuddled.

Would you believe that these pictures were taken in November? 

Beautiful day.

Our new hobby

 

I was too impatient to wait. I know you're suppose to be 3 months at least when you start babyswimming (and 6 months in Australia if I've understood correctly (correct me if I'm wrong)). We'll we just turned 2 months and I was confident that we are old enough and brave enough. And who would have known EMMA LOVED IT for the first 15 minutes... But even that 15 minutes was so worth it. Look out swimming pools, we're coming every week!

Muutoksia - changes

Last spring while waiting for my first child I decided to start a blog. The idea was to post those craft things that I have done. Since getting into this blogging world and since our daughter was born I've been wanting to write more about everyday life, sharing my experiences as being a mother, writing down all the ups and downs. I realised that helmihandmade is not the place to do that and that's why I will keep this blog totally as a blog where I post those things that I create and  in OUR CUDDLES I can just rattle on and get lost in other things.

So go ahead, feel free to go and have a look. Hope to see you there too!

This is me and my family

Pyykkipäivä jokapäivä - washing day every day

Voi tätä syksyä, se menee ihan liian nopeasti. Nyt on jo marraskuu ja yliopistohommia on ihan liiaksi. Tuntuu että ne eivät lopu koskaan, kun taas aika tuntuu loppuvan. Pyykkiäkin tuntuu tulevan kauheat määrät tällä hetkellä vaan mistä löytyisi niiden pesemiselle aikaa. Mutta meilläpä on ihana isi, joka hoitaa ja huoltaa pyykkivuorta ja äitiä ja Emmaa. Kiitos isille.

This autumn is going way too fast. It's already November and I have still so much to do in uni. I feel like the work never ends even though time seems to be running out. It also feels like there's huge amount of washing all the time. But we're lucky to have an awesome daddy who takes care of the washing mountain and mummy and Emma. Thank you daddy!

Valokuvaushaaste- photo challenge

Inspiroidu valokuvahaasteita on jo ollut 12 ja vaikka olen niihin liittyviä kuvia ottanut, niin nyt vasta päätin virallisesti osallistua haasteeseen. Innostuin vähän kokeilemaan, kun oli tyhjä hetki kotona. Tyttö nukkui ja mies oli kavereiden kanssa, joten minä rupesin käymään keittiön kaappeja läpi ja napsimaan kuvia. Haasteena oli käyttää erilaisia kotoa löytyviä suodattimia. Näitä kahta esinettä loppujen lopuksi käytin:

There has already been 12 getinspired photo challenges and now I decided to enter. I got excited to try different things since I had a moment at home. Daughter was asleep and hubby with friends, so I opened the kichen closets and started taking pictures. The challenge was to use filters found at home I took the pictures through these two objects:

Ja tässä tulokset tuosta, mikä tuo nyt on, sana täysin kateissa. Mutta ei siis lasi. Olipahan nuukahtaneita kukkia, onneksi tuli kuvattua niin huomasin ne ja lensivät sen jälkeen roskiin.

And here's the pictures taken trough the what it's name. Not the glass, the other one. I noticed while taking the pictures that the flowers were dead. Good so since now I realised to throw them in the bin.

Ja sitten nuo lasin läpi otetut, ensin maisema meidän ikkunasta ja sitten pari taulusta otettuna, lasin molemmista päistä. Vähän tuli kylmä fiilis, kun oli niin sininen tuo lasi.

And then the ones taken through the glass. First the view from our window and then couple taken from a painting. The feeling in these are a bit too cold for my taste.

Tuo maalaus on isäni enon maalama. Isäni kehysti sen synttärilahjaksi kerran, kun tiesi kuinka paljon pidän siitä. Ja koska se ei kovin hyvin näy tuon lasin läpi niin otin vielä kuvan siitä ihan ilman mitään suodattimia niin että tekin näette kuinka ihana se onkaan.

The painting is by my dad's uncle. I love it and so I got it for myself from my dad as a birthday present once. I decided to put it here without any filters so that you can see how cool it is. Have an awsome Sunday tomorrow!
