Minne aika menee? En saata uskoa ett\u00e4 ensi viikolla alkaa jo kes\u00e4kuu. Aika kiit\u00e4\u00e4 siivill\u00e4 ja tuntuu ettei oikein mit\u00e4\u00e4n saa aikaiseksi. No olen min\u00e4 oikeasti kuitenkin jotakin saanut aikaiseksi. T\u00e4m\u00e4 on nyt v\u00e4h\u00e4n t\u00e4llainen yleisp\u00e4tev\u00e4 “tapahtunut t\u00e4h\u00e4n menness\u00e4”-tyyppinen katsaus. Sellaista tavallista arkea t\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 Havum\u00e4ess\u00e4 kuitenkin elet\u00e4\u00e4n. Ajattelin ett\u00e4 yrit\u00e4n nyt viel\u00e4 puhaltaa henke\u00e4 blogiin ja saada s\u00e4\u00e4nn\u00f6llist\u00e4 postausrytmi\u00e4 aikaiseksi. Alustava ajatus on ett\u00e4 postaisin kerran viikossa niin ett\u00e4 postaukset tulisivat p\u00e4\u00e4s\u00e4\u00e4nt\u00f6isesti n\u00e4kyviin viikonvaihteessa eli aikav\u00e4lill\u00e4 pe-ma. Se lienee suhteellisen mukava postaus-rytmi sek\u00e4 minulle ett\u00e4 lukijoille. Satunnaisesti saatan tehd\u00e4 sitten postauksia muinakin aikoina jos tarve vaatii. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kansalaisopiston kurssit ovat tulleet p\u00e4\u00e4t\u00f6kseen t\u00e4m\u00e4n kev\u00e4\u00e4n osalta osin jo huhtikuussa. Jouduin muutama vuosi sitten lopettamaan balettitunnit Tampereella kun aika ja jaksaminen ei en\u00e4\u00e4 riitt\u00e4nyt ajella suoraan t\u00f6ist\u00e4 Tampereelle balettiin. Sen sijaan olen k\u00e4ynyt t\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 Sastamalassa kerran viikossa baletissa. K\u00e4rkitossukurssia t\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 ei valitettavasti ole. Olen k\u00e4ynyt my\u00f6s viikottain nypl\u00e4\u00e4m\u00e4ss\u00e4 Mouhij\u00e4rvell\u00e4. M\u00e4nts\u00e4l\u00e4n kansallispuvun p\u00e4\u00e4hinepitsi toivottavasti valmistuu pian. Lis\u00e4ksi olen k\u00e4ynyt muutamilla viikonloppukursseilla. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lamppuhelmikurssille en p\u00e4\u00e4ssyt t\u00e4n\u00e4 kev\u00e4\u00e4n\u00e4 korona-tartunnan vuoksi, mutta jokunen viikko sitten k\u00e4vin tuossa naapurissa Lasistudiolla kokeilemassa ensimm\u00e4ist\u00e4 kertaa lasinpuhallusta. Lasin muotoilu on hirmuisen kiinnostavaa ja erilaista kuin mik\u00e4\u00e4n muu aiemmin kokeilemani k\u00e4sity\u00f6tekniikka. Kun on tottunut ett\u00e4 omin sormin voi n\u00e4pert\u00e4\u00e4 ja muovata asioita, on aluksi tosi hankalaa tottua siihen ett\u00e4 itse materiaaliin ei voi koskea ja k\u00e4sittely tapahtuu pelk\u00e4st\u00e4\u00e4n erilaisten ty\u00f6kalujen avulla. Sain aikaiseksi kaksi puhallettua p\u00e4\u00e4si\u00e4ismunaa, olkoonkin ett\u00e4 kurssin vet\u00e4j\u00e4 auttoi kirjaimellisesti k\u00e4dest\u00e4 pit\u00e4en eri ty\u00f6vaiheissa. Sula lasimassa vain on aloittelijan niin hankala ty\u00f6st\u00e4\u00e4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talossa ei ole juuri tapahtunut talvella mit\u00e4\u00e4n. Ollaan vietetty hiljaiseloa ja keskitytty p\u00e4\u00e4asiassa rentoutumiseen sill\u00e4 kes\u00e4 tulee olemaan kiireinen niin puutarhassa kuin remppojenkin suhteen. Sen verran kuitenkin otettiin varasl\u00e4ht\u00f6\u00e4 kes\u00e4\u00e4n ett\u00e4 pihaltamme kaadettiin kaksi suurta puuta. Metsuri tuli kaatamaan yhden korkean koivun, jota is\u00e4nt\u00e4 ei uskaltanut itsekseen kaataa, sek\u00e4 j\u00e4ttikokoisen pihakuusen joka oli tontin rajalla, vain pari metri\u00e4 naapurin autotallin sein\u00e4st\u00e4. Karsiminen ja p\u00e4tkiminen j\u00e4i meid\u00e4n hommaksi ja siin\u00e4 kyll\u00e4 riitt\u00e4\u00e4kin sitten puuhaa useammaksi viikonlopuksi. Ik\u00e4v\u00e4 kyll\u00e4 tuo Luonto\u00e4idin huhtikuinen bonus lumisade-kimara tuli v\u00e4h\u00e4n ik\u00e4v\u00e4sti pilaamaan meid\u00e4n puusouvin, mutta kai se t\u00e4st\u00e4 ainakin ennen syksy\u00e4. Tulevissa postauksissa ainakin juttua kombuchasta ja nahkat\u00f6ist\u00e4. <\/p>\n\n\n

Where does the time go? I can’t believe June starts next week. Time flies and I feel that I haven’t done anything sensible lately. Well, in reality I have, but it doesn’t feel that way. So here’s a general “happened so far”-kinda post. It’s been pretty ordinary life here at Pinehill. I figured that once more I try to breath life into this blog and create some sort of regular posting chedule. My plan is to post once a week, so that posts will be updated some time during the turn of the week, fri-mon. I think that is relatively comfy schedule for both, readers and me. I might also make posts on other times than those, if needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winter workshops have finished for the Summer. Couple years ago I had to quite my adult ballet lessons in Tampere. I just didn’t have time nor energy to drive an hour to there and back after work. Instead I found ballet classes locally, once a week. Unfortunately they don’t have pointe lessons here. Once a week I have also done bobbin lace classes. My M\u00e4nts\u00e4l\u00e4 region folk costume lace is hopefully finished soon. And in addition to that, I have also taken some weekend workshops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I could not join in the lamp bead workshop this spring because I had the covid back then, but several weeks ago I attended glass blowing workshop at our local glass studio. Creating glass items is so interesting and very different than what I am used to. Usually I can touch the materials and feel them with my fingers, but with glass you can only shape the material with the help of tools. I was able to create two blown Easter eggs. Even though the teacher was helping hand-to-hand how to do it, due to the sheer difficulty of the material. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the house hasn’t really happened much. We have basically just hibernated the winter and concentrated on relaxing, because summer is going to be busy with gardening and renovation. We did take jumpstart to summer by cutting two huge trees from our yard. Lumberjack came to cut down one birch which hubby was too nervous to do himself and one giant spruce which was growing way too close to neighbour’s garage. Chopping and cleaning was our jobs afterwards and there is lots. Enough for several weekends. Unfortunately Mother Nature decided to give extra snowfall in April so we still haven’t finished it, but hopefully it’s done before Autumn atleast. My upcoming posts will be atleast about kombucha and leatherwork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

110 vuosirengasta, puu oli siis vanhempi kuin meid\u00e4n talo. Harmi ett\u00e4 piti kaataa, mutta t\u00e4llaista se joskus on.\/
I counted 110 year rings, so the tree was older than our house. Too bad we had to cut it down.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
