Comfortably fuzzy.

I love these beautiful sweater bunnies that Sonja Ahlers  is currently working on. Not only are they adorable, but I enjoy the fact that they each bunny flaunts a personality of its own, and this despite their shared squint! Sonja teamed up with the amazing Carly Waito to stage this sweet photoshoot of which you can see more on both their blogs, and I believe the photos (as well as the bunnies) will be up for sale on Etsy soon. So you better keep your eyes peeled!

In the meantime, here’s a few more photos via Sonja’s and Carly’s blogs. Is this the cutest nursery ever or what?

I mean, seriously.

Blunt trauma.

I often wonder why we have to see the things we see.

But in the midst of all the madness:

Stuff that’s gone on for the last week or so:

- I visibly can’t be bothered to tidy up my room these days (the side-eye says it all).

- Been trying to frequent the school library to pep myself up for my thesis. Part of me is all like this and the other part of me is getting excited about finally getting my hands dirty with it. Enfin, mgh.

- Started watching Mad Men. For the last two years people have been trying to get me into it and I’ve been pretty much “meh” towards it, but now it’s become routine for me to watch a couple of episodes before bed. I could call it comfort food in a way: smoking and drinking by proxy!

- Internship is going well, I guess. Is it wrong for me to feel a bit intimidated about being the only girl there? Hmm.

- I found a Yashica MF-1 at a flea market in Finland. I’m totally stoked but I’m having trouble using it, egh. Disappointed!

- Cut my hair today. No pictures yet and I miss my old hair a little bit. But just a little bit. Anyway, I was going for something like this (but with Spock bangs). I think I like it!

- I was ecstatic about something today: discovering I still love this song and especially this video.

 

Oh, forgotten youth. Growing up has made me such a cynic!

Groan.

Been back in Belgium for two days, and it’s been raining non-stop the whole time. Yay? I love not being able to leave my house for the weekend?

Here’s a mix to get over those rainy day blues. Sigh.

Next time, it will be just as nice.

But I don’t want to live in the future yet. The present is still good.

Going back home on Friday.

Postcards from Finland!

Seriously, it’s how I have lo look at things in order to realize that it’s FALL and yet it’s SNOWING here. Talk about exotic.

In any case, here is a quick post showcasing last week’s “big” project: my Darth Vader jack o’ lantern! I hadn’t made one since I was little and although it isn’t perfect, I thought it was pretty funny, despite the perpetual side-eye he threw me all weekend long.  Thank goodness he’s in the trash now.

Bet he never saw that coming.

Also, the initial reason I bought a pumpkin was so I could make some nice, spicy pumpkin cupcakes. Alas, I was not aware that jack o’ lantern pumpkins are basically hard and fleshless (rookie mistake, fo sho) and that it’s actually impossible to find canned pumpkin puree in Finland (but I do hope someone proves me wrong!). I ended up making these carrot cupcakes, although I didn’t have half the ingredients so I had to do some major improvising (ex. replacing the crushed pineapple with some homemade apple jam, walnuts with crushed cocoa beans, etc).

They’re pretty good. And rather pretty, I suppose! And you get the added health bonus of those disgusting cocoa beans my boyfriend and I just can’t seem to get rid of!

Pinning away.

Like I mentioned in a previous post, I’m really getting into Pinterest these days! It’s a pretty neat way for lazy people like me to keep track of the pretty/coo/funny things the Internet has to offer while simultaneously making moodboards (whatever the eff that means) out of them. If you have an account, don’t hesitate to friend me, and if you want one I still have a few invites there somewhere!
