Inspiroidu #109 - kuvioreuna/edge

-Cousins-
Love this photo.. the three of them watching Shaun the Sheep :)
I tore bits off the top edge to make a funky edge.
I'd forgotten how much I like tearing paper.

Pages pages pages... :D

-Excitement-

My niece is one and eager to GO!

Patterned paper is Clothesline by Little Yellow Bicycle.
Tickets are by My Mind's Eye.
Epoxy stickers by Art Warehouse.


I finally slapped on the whole alphabet rub-on sheet I had been saving (My Mind's Eye.. I think..) and added the three musketeers on top :)



-Always-

This furry fellow is missed...
Bunched lots of KI Memories rub-ons together.
-Rainbow-

Punched out flowers from the background paper and curled them up a bit before gluing some sparklies on top.




-Feelings-

A lot of this and that thrown together..


Sweat and scratches


This May sees the urgent need to cut down our border bushes with our neighbors.. they've grown all sorts of wrong ways and all that snow last winter didn't help any...

I know it looks crude now, but this bush grows really fast. In a month it'll be shooting up nice and green and new.

This is six bushes down...
Shall we take a look to the left?

I think atleast 12 bushes that way...

And to the right?

Almost 20...
Yeah.. sigh..

And to give you a little smile:
solutions for barbequing during a thunder storm :)

Traipsing in Tallinn

In teh past two weeks I've been to Tallinn, Estonia twice... It's just a two hour boat ride away. The first trip was with school staff.. just a day of fun and good company. The second time I went along with the 8th grade art group as a supervisor.

It was great, it's been years since I last was there and I love how the city has changed.
Old and new.
Right next to each other.
So much prettiness.

This is a very photo heavy post :)

I loved this Mini.. look it even has union jack seats.. swoon..


Like I said.. old and new.








With the art group we walked to Kumu, the art museum, and just before it is this amazing park.









The kids immediately found a place to put their feet up.



Inside I really liked this corner room with busts.
All sizes, materials, people you recognized and others that left you wondering...

..and a surprise too..


I wonder what is making him laugh?

Laurel and Hardy lookalikes :D

Pretty flowers at the marketplace.







Yes, indeed.. it was a good spot to take a rest and a cappucino.




Quaint details.



And a very dapper tourist..
