Kevään viimeinen Stadi Scrap!

Skräppäilypäivä
la 5.5.2012
klo 10.00-19.00

-Missä?-

Paikka on Englantilainen koulu Helsingin Meilahdessa, Mäntytie 14 .Kulkuyhteydet ovat hyvät niin omalla autolla, kuin julkisillakin. Raitiovaunut 4 ja 10 tuovat lähelle (nelonen ihan viereen), Mannerheimintiellä (pysäkki: Kuusitie) ja Paciuksenkadulla (pysäkki: Meilahdentie) kulkee huippumäärä busseja ja jos on junalla tulossa, niin Pasilan asemalta kun hyppää 58 bussiin, niin se tuo sieltä ihan perille. Kadunvarsiparkkitilaa on koulun ympärillä. Klikkaa tästä , niin löydät kartan.

-Maksaako se jotain?-
Sisäänpääsymaksua ei ole :)

-Voinko tuoda lapset?-
Ainoa toive on, että sylivauvaa suuremmat lapsukaiset jäisivät kotiin hoitoon, jotta äiditkin saisivat stressivapaata laatuaikaa hyvässä seurassa.

-Kun nälkä iskee-
Termareissa löytyy kahvia ja teetä, pienet tarjottavat olemme tuoneet nyyttärihengessä :)

Lounaspuolen voi jokainen osallistuja hoitaa itselleen sopivimmalla tavalla. Kylmätilaa on, jos haluat tuoda omat evääsi (ja kola/energiajuomasi) ;) , tai 5min kävelymatkan päässä on K-market ja McDonalds. Ja pitsaakin saa tilattua.

-Mitä tarvitsen mukaani?-
Pakkaa mukaan materiaalia ja valokuvia tarpeeksi, mieluummin hiukan yläkanttiin, työkalusi ja villasukat tai tossut (kuka sitä koko päivän jaksaa hikoilla kengät jalassa!). Voit myös tuoda kirjoja tai lehtiä muiden selailtavaksi (muista merkitä nimesi niihin) inspiraatiota antamaan.
Ja kenelläpä meistä ei olisi ylimääräisiä tarpeita? Niitä hetken mielijohteesta tehtyjä ostoksia, jotka sitten pölyttyvät hyllyllä? Mulla on ainakin :D Tuo ne vaihtopöytään! Voit bongata sieltä itsellesi jotain omalle sivullesi sopivaa.

-Miten ilmoittaudun?-
Tilaan mahtuu reilu 30 skräppääjää. Ilmoittaudu laittamalla sähköpostia minulle: susanna.tunturi@dlc.fi . Saat paluuviestissä tarkemmat yhteystiedot. Tervetuloa. Olisi ihana nähdä!

Linkkiä tänne voi laittaa omalle blogille, jos haluaa :)
Kiva nähdä taas!

Random family pictures

I came across a box of old photos today I had set aside, and forgotten all about.
I found some great shots.

My Grandma, uncle and dad.
Hats and sunglasses.


Oh the size of those tulips!


My grandma, dad, uncle and granddad in the front row.
I have no clue who the people in the back row are...


Snacktime on the road.


This is the front steps of my house.
My great-grandma, uncle, grandma and dad.
This must be right after the house was built in 1952.


Rug washing time :)


The way the car is packed.. so great.


My great-grandma's house.


I love this shot of my grandparents....


oh my..giggles.. my dad's pants..


OK, I have noooo idea what kind of a fish dance they are doing... hehehee...


I did a double-take with this one.. my uncle as a kid looks so much like my cousin did 20 years ago..
It's a cool pic of how the yard looked back then..


On a road trip.


happy sigh.

Styling sisters

This photo.
Amazing dramatic sense from my Grandma.
She's second from the right there.

She could be in Vogue with that pose :)
I wish I knew who the other ladies are...

My great-aunt Maire.
I think this is from the late 40's?
After the war anyway..


Just look at these two sisters... love the hats.



Let's skip to the mid 70's, shall we?
The four sisters dancing together.. this is such a fun pic.
Elsa, Elvi, Irja (facing the other way) and Maire.


Irja and my Grandma in Spain.

Old photos like these make me smile.

Yellow bricks, green bricks, blue bricks...

They are out.
In throves.
Mountains.
Boxes.
There's some serious Lego building going on.


She loooooves her Legos.



And yes, we have a bunch.
That first grey box has a Princess castle etc. and the second box has pirate legos (some of which are my brother's old ones).
She also has some of the Cars legos, and heaps and heaps of plain bricks (all of my old ones too)
Not enough though.
Not by a long shot.
Apparently.

A round million bricks would be great, I hear.
Mmmmhhh...

I'm thinking her dream job would be at Legoland :)

Why are all these out now?
Because she found this in her Easter basket:


A very cool book.
I recommend this to all lego fans.
Of any age :D

(I got this one at Akateeminen Kirjakauppa)

7th

-shadow-

I was lucky to get some sunlight... can you guess what that is?
It keeps me company three to four times a week..


It's an old radio that stands beside our cross-trainer.

baked lime custards

This was our dessert, I got the recipe from here.



Yum, is all I can say...

And just so you know, I don't always get it right in the kitchen...
This is what happens when you double the muffin recipe, but accidentally quadruple the baking powder..

Yup.
Bang you head to the stone countertop kinda moment that one :P
