‘Nero’s Post’: from our Finnish luggage!
May 24, 2012 by Teje
Vof -vof everyone!!! I hope you are fine and happy! We are fine and yesterday Foxy went to see our vet who told that her heart is fine and there is no sign about ‘those days’ …. hmmm … I think we have to stop pretending ‘that’, and start to act ‘normally’ again. Foxy’s teeth are full of stone but she is too old for tooth-cleaning, so I guess I need to buy some peppermint to her to get fresh breath! Because I know you are waiting to see what someone bought from Finland, I show you first some cool turquoise …
You can recognize these adorable prints! Two fabrics from down don’t write well in their selvages - if you know what they are, we would be happy to learn. I love those prints with balls!
And then how about some yummy orange …
Wow, they are delicious! But here comes something that I’m sure you love …
… you see this fabric has ’4 in 1′ + those fantastic tickets!
… and something as sweet as these but in pink …
… this would make the most beautiful quilts for little girls or perhaps even for boys …
But all these you have already seen hanging on clothes-line, so I’m sure you would be happy to see something more …
White felt for needle books, pins, ripper for frogging, great (very expensive) buttons and thin blue fabric. I love that blue fabric! It’s very thin and light! First I didn’t take it, but last day I went again just to pick that piece. It’s perfect for a cool summer blouse or a ‘home-dress’ and I have an idea for a scarf … if that will come true, you are the first one to see it!
… and did you think that I could have returned home without any ’Unikko’?!
I saw this piece of oil cloth in a shop that I have showed to you earlier … where I was looking for a present … I just had to pick this! It may become a tote-bag, make-up bags or even place mats. Beautiful and good quality!
What else … for an other experiment …
You may guess that the decoupage glue and the paper napkins have something to do together but what about the crochet hooks? They don’t include to this group. I needed bigger hooks and this set from ‘Novita’ was happy enought to jump in to my shopping basket!
For a long time I have wanted to try that decoupage technic – world is just full of beautiful, funny things made like that! Okey – I learnt that you don’t need necesserily this special glue, but I’m happy to make my first try with this.
But before that, I’m busy with many other things like making more bags …
New crabs are coming! Stripe bag and the red-white bag are already in my etsy shop ! I’m very happy to tell you that I have sold one bird bag and also the ‘Pink Birds’ baby quilt, ‘Patches on the beach’ small wall quilt and some place mats! Wow that was really wonderful – thank you so much for buying from my little shop! So, you see I really needed new materials?!
Oh boy, I am so tired! I haven’t been sleeping much these last two weeks and I have lost some weight because having a sweet little girl under your nose, you can’t think of food! Now I am really enjoying my good and loooong nap and delicious chicken dinner!
Nelli is also very happy because we have fixed the summer couch outside … perfect place for her to sleep and to see what happens around.
Thank you for stopping by and reading my ‘Post’! We have been so happy about all your wonderful comments! Thank you, thank you!!!
Lots of big hugs and wet kisses!
NERO

"I would love to read your thoughts! If you have a moment, please leave a message!"
Wow! Did you buy an extra suitcase? I think the dark blue might be by Sandy Gervais. Have fun playing with all of that
Thank you Carla! That is always the problem – I wanted much more fabrics but I was allowed to have only 20 kg suitcase and 10 kg hand-luggage. I used that exactly! Unfortunately needed to have some clothes with me. x Teje
Beautiful fabrics! Is that Nero laying down? Such a beautiful dog!!
Thank you Kris! It’s my dear Nero boy sleeping! x Teje
I am so glad to hear Foxy checked out OK at the vet! Such beautiful colors in those fabrics!
Thank you Kerry! I’m also so happy to know that Foxy is fine! x Teje
Good to hear that Foxy is doing okay. But those Fabrics? You really have me drooling over them. So beautiful. You must have lots and lots of ideas for them.
Thank you Dorien! On the other hand it was so easy to choose all these beautiful fabrics but on the other hand so difficult to choose what not to take! They are very precious to me because I can’t find quilting fabrics from here! x Teje
Dear Nero, I am SO glad that Foxy is fine and you can get some sleep and eat again! Bless you. Teje must have needed an extra case to bring all that wonderful fabric home. I am sure you had treats too. Enjoy the sunshine, it is steaming here in the UK today!
Jane and Billy xx
Thank you Jane and Billy! Great to hear that you are sweating! I forgot to say that we got some smoked chicken sticks and meat snacks! Give hugs to Bear, too! x Teje & Nero
Glad you found room in your luggage to bring home those gorgeous fabrics, Teje. They will keep you busy for a while…. enjoy!!!
Thank you Pam! I would have left some of my cloths if I couldn’t have packed all the fabrics! Happy weekend! x Teje
Yummy yummy stuff! especially the ticket fabric!
Thank you Benta! I love that ticket fabric and it has 4 beautiful defferent prints in lovely green! Happy weekend to you! x Teje
I think you must have left all of your clothes in Finland! Gorgeous fabrics for beautiful creations
Avis x
Thank you Avis! I didn’t have many with me and half of those were too much – as usually! But you never know what you need and where you have to go.
I have great ideas and I should organize my time better. Happy weekend! x Teje
Me too! I’ve been cutting tiny pieces today. I can feel some hand piecing coming on
Enjoy the weekend! Avis x
Good for Foxy for rallying!
Thank you for sharing these wonderful fabrics and your bag creations! Now I am going to go get lost in your esty shop.
Thank you Samanthat! Foxy is always so Foxy! Thank you for hopping to my shop! Happy weekend! x Teje
Sorry I missed wishing Foxy well sooner. I am glad to hear sweet Foxy is doing a bit better. Teje sure brought some beautiful fabrics back from Finland.
Thank you so much! I’m so happy that Foxy is still fo well even she is a ‘granny’! She sleeps a lot but also she runs happily after Nero and Hanna when they go out. And in the evenings she makes us ‘grazy’ asking all the time goodies! Happy weekend and hugs to your puppies! x Teje
Good to hear Foxy is doing better. So many critters to take care of! Lovely fabrics and craft supplies from your trip. Those tickets are pretty cool on the green prints. Wonder what you’ll do with those. I read somewhere that crabs are a big trend now on fabrics. Should be fun to play with those too.
Thank you Terri! Foxy is just amazing for her 16 years! I enjoy watching my new fabrics and just wait to get my scissors on them! Crabs are really funny and I saw few fabrics but can’t remember where. If find the site, I’ll tell you. Happy weekend! x Teje
Beautiful finds, Teje! All those lovely fabrics – the turquoise ones are my favorite, it must be the summer getting near… And I am so happy to hear that the vet gave Foxy the clean bill of heath, that wonderful news!
Sunny weekend, it’s getting warmer here too!
Yours,
Mia
Thank you so much Mia! I was so happy to hear that Foxy is fine and perhaps only tired because of her age! I have also very much summer colours in my mind! Here it’s getting colder?!
Sunny weekend to you! x Teje
Hi Teje, how inspiring is it to have all those beautiful new fabrics to play around with? I love the stripey cushions at the back of the sofa with the cat sitting on it.
Thank youu Carol! I love those cushions, too – they have great country style and fit to our village home!
Happy weekend to you! x Teje
So glad to hear your Foxy is alright! And yum yum all that fabric will be so much fun for you to play with! Enjoy!
Thank you Christie! Foxy is fine and so funny because she seems to be full of energy again!
Lots of happy colours in my new fabrics and I love them! Happy weekend! x Teje
I am bringing my husband to Sweden & Finland this summer because he packs lighter than anybody I know, which will work for all my purchases. Well, maybe I am bringing him because he has family in Mariehamn.
Love all the fun sewing notions.
Especially like the punctuation fabrics with the tickets.
Thank you Kathy! I’m happy for you to go there in summer! And Mariehamn is so beautiful; unfortunately haven’t been there. I wish you the best holidays and warm, sunny weather! x Teje
