Sunny evening!
Im feeling weird today. Lazy. I never like weekend when its a holiday. There's nothing on tv, and well it's just a bit boring.
I went to see one Israel band today.. music was kinda weird, but dancing was cool. And some guys were cute too. LOL
When i came home we had a BBQ. And now im here. Borning day, isnt it?
I wanna talk to somebody!
I miss to many people :(

because..

Good afternoon!

It's windy and sunny afternoon. Hot hot hot! But wind is cooling everybody down. I like it!
I'm going to swim soon to the river for the first time this summer. I don't like rivers very much, for me these are not for swimming. I love wild waves in the sea!!!
Today morning i picked some berries because im gonna make a cake later.


Redberries and Amelanchier ovalis.

I actually didn't know how to call these berries in English, but i Googled. And i found out that these are only in Europe.
Well to be honest, none of my friends had eaten them before, me either actually. But when we moved to our new home, then we had these in our garden territory. I love these berries!


The bread that my mom makes is the BEST!

I can't imagine my life without mom's bread anymore! It's just delicious. It contains different seeds, such as sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, nuts..


My breakfast today morning:)

art.

Actually i wanted to write this blog yesterday. I was so inspired. I read a book "Minu London"[My London]. What a book! While reading it i just had to make some thought-breaks. I needed to think. And also write. I just wrote little notes to a notepaper while reading the book. I had so many ideas and so much that i wanted to read more about. So, you can imagine me: reading a book, pen and notepaper in my hand.. scribbling something downs and continuing reading. I LOVE books! Especially travel literature. I wish i could publish a book one day. And i know nothing happens without the action. Dreams come true if we fight for them!:)
Anywho, i realized i love taking photos. I've always been into photography, but always for fun. And the most i like to take photos of natural things, something that includes art. I'm not very good at art, but there's something inside of me that just makes me want to DO art. So, i draw, i write, i create things..and even though they might not be perfect or very excellent or amazing or just great, they are still piece of me. Making art makes me happy, that's the only thing that matters!:)
Sometimes i think there are too many things that interest me. I love literature, other cultures, writing, music, religions, traveling, journalism, fashion, dancing, healthy lifestyle, yoga, cooking, making art & enjoying art that's been made by others.. And somehow i wanna be in all of these. I wanna enjoy all these things. But im not sure one life time is enough for all of this?! But i've learnt to live in today! So, i live like there's no tomorrow and i truly wanna live life fullest! Have a joy of things i love:)

While reading Minu London i started thinking how i imagine my future home..or actually where. I can see myself in a big city, living in an apartment. But i know that even though the city life is busy, noisy, full of different people and more rich lifestyle, then my home inside will be very cozy, veryyy homey! I've always loves cooking, baking and i can see myself cooking in a beautiful kitchen. My hands full of colorful vegetables. Beautiful flowery dishes, red white cups with baby pink and blue dots on them. Lots of green salad. Homemade cookies. Cute curtains. I love these things. I love to go to the countryside to get fresh vegetables or go to the fair in the city to get vegetables and all kind of stuff that they sell there. It's so fun to shop for food stuff coz later you can make delicious meals from them!:) I'd love to have friends over, drink smoothies and eat pear muffins i made. Or in the winter morning i'll ask my friends over for lunch..i'll make pancakes and hot peppermint tea.. pancakes with strawberry, raspberry and blueberry jam. It's your pick. haha. I sound silly i know. But just thinking about it makes me happy! It's something i've learnt from my mom. She's amazing in the kitchen though she doesn't know that. I love that she bakes so much, i love her homemade bread with all kind of seeds, i love that in the summer we have so many berries, apples, pears and vegetables in our garden and we use them all..we make jam, juices, and eat them any possible way!:) Home is where your heart is. The building means less than anything else. Family matters. Pets matter. Friends matter. Your ability to feel artistic and free in your home matter. To experience.

Anyway, i'll put some photos here that are my little inspirations or that have borned from my insiration.




Some little from my garden


Decorated my shirt with textile colors


Made 5 boxes of raspberry jam


I have two things on my mind right now that i really want to do. Both of them have something to do with writing. One more than another.
But as i said, action is what makes us closer to our dreams!:)
Oh, My London book also made me want to do some jewellery art. I think i'll make some earrings in a near future. Just for fun!=)

husband and wife!

Did that all really happen yesterday? Time flies.
Let me start from yesterday then...
...We had to start driving to Merikan&Janar's wedding at 8am. At least that was our plan, but we set off 8:30am instead. No big deal, right?! Coz we were about to have a quite long time then we decided not to put our beautiful new dresses and shoes on.. So we were wearing casual clothes and felt really comfy. When we set off then it was only 17 C degrees..Can you believe it? It hadnt been that cold for so long time. But as we drove and drove, the sun came out and in our first stop, in Tartu, was SO hot! We stopped in Tartu coz dad needed to go to the bank, we were hungry and we needed to change our clothes. All went very fine, only we decided not to change clothes there.. And so we went back to the car, mom wanted me to pay some bills in the Internet bank..that's why i had taken my laptop with me!
Okay, it was time to keep driving and we needed to so a "forest stop" to change our clothes. Lol. We were driving, eyes open for a nice place to stop the car and change the clothes. Mom joked: "If we dont find the place we'll wear our casual clothes in the wedding.LOL.." And we all laughed. Of course she was kidding. Finally we stopped, mom said: "We are in a hurry, so let's do really quick." I said: "Yup, let's see who can change their clothes the quickest..". I quickly opened my bag and started putting my dress on. And then mom became pale and said to dad:"But you know what?! I forgot OUR clothes home! I put them downstairs ready, i took the shoes, but didnt take the dress and your clothes." OOPS! All in panic! What to do? Me and Anni had our dresses and heels. But mom and dad had NOTHING. They were both wearing jeans..they can't go to their first daughter's wedding wearing jeans :| Dad had bought mom super beautiful and expensive dress for the wedding and now it was at home. It made us all laugh at that time. How silly is to leave clothes home. And all way we were joking about clothes and stuff.
Hm, but what to do? We had 1 hr till the wedding. And we had at least 30 more minutes to drive to the wedding place. Plus we had never been there so we werent sure where exactly it was.. So we had to have more time to look for the place.. I told: "Let's go back to Tartu and quickly buy you new clothes." Dad turn the car around and started driving.. after 20 meters mom said:"We have too little time, turn around again. Who are we kidding?! If we go to Tartu we wont make it to the wedding in a time.".. So, dad turned around once again and speed up quickly and drove to Põlva.. We all kept laughing coz it was something we never excepted to happy. Mom said that these things happen only in the movies. Lol.
We drove and drove, but the turn didnt come. Then i said half joking: "Maybe we are now driving in a wrong road..". Mom freaked out, crabbed the map and started reading it.. Dad kept driving..Came out we really should have turned earlier..no we just drove a round a bit..but still there was a turn to Põlva too. As Põlva is such a little place we had NO idea if we can find clothes to mom and dad. What if they dont have a clothes shop?! When we arrived to Põlva, we ask introductions from locals to find the wedding house. We parked the car and ran to the little corner shop that we passed by. There were clothes.. It was this little Polish or Lithuanian clothes shop.. all clothes were so old fashioned.. But we had no other choice. We ran in, asked if they had a man's shirt.. They had one(!) and we had to hope it was fit for my dad! Mom crabbed the first dress that looked nice and she also had to hope it as a fit. They both were!!!!! The dress looked actually soo beautiful. Clothes went to cost SO little. It was like a totally make-over. The shop worker was so excited and very helpful too! We of course told her about the situation we had. LOL :)
Back in the parking lot, there were other guest too and we had about 15 minutes before the wedding. It was absolutely HOT! Impossibly freaking hot!
The wedding was beautiful. My younger sis and i were discussing about the ceremony..and she said she's sure she would cry. I said i was sure i wouldnt cry. But as the wedding marsh started and we both saw our older sis walking down the aisle we both were in tears! So beautiful, our big sister is getting married. It was really amazing! She looked the prettiest bride in the whole world. She smiled, hold her tears back while her husband cried. Granny cried like crazy, and as i said my younger sis Anni too. I had tears, but i dried them, and next tears i tried not to let out. But Anni just cried and cried. Even after the ceremony when we hugged the newlyweds.
The photographer took lots of pictures, inside and out. Then all the cars drove near one lake there to take more photos. The wedding "train"[a chain of cars--looks like a train] drove around South Estonia, to different places where newlywed had to do some things.. It was an old Estonian wedding with all the games and traditions.
After all that we had the wedding dinner and party at one special place. It was really cool there.
Omg, we had SO much food. TOO much i must say. There was more than half left over.. So today morning everyone got food home with them, lots of food. Oh, the wedding cake was the bestest i had ever got! Very delicious.
Actually everything was so wonderful and beautiful! Very special day!:)
Im so happy for my sister and her husband!=)

Pictures come later!

READ IT!

eyes to "Minu"

Demi tweeted on Monday morning: "Woo! Nothing like a 6 mile run to start your day/week. Happy Monday everybody! What's your goal for this week?"
I responded: "My goal is to read these 3 books that are waiting for me on my nightstand.."

After i tweeted this i realized something was technically wrong so i never tweeted it. And then i thought: good because i wouldn't achieve my goal anyway..
Now it's Friday and at 3pm i turned the last page of the 3rd book. It felt good. Not that i found it hard to read or anything.. haha.
I read books all the time. But you know, if its summer and hot i always have like million other things to do and i cant find time to cuddle up on my bed or in the garden chair to enjoy a good book.
So, im very happy i found that time this week. And i totally loved the books.
Minu Taani
Minu Kanada
Minu Maroko

You can only see the cover of the books, but i promise what's inside is million times better. These Estonian women write about their own life and experiences in another country. They are away from their home-land for different reasons[work, love, religion ect and of course the mixture of it all..]. They write about the country's locals' life, their culture, traditions, nature, everyday life and SO much more. And it's never boring. There's things i've never heard before, there are stories that make me laugh, there are stories that make me see my own country in different colors.. mostly i start appreciating all i have even more!
And thanks to these books i realize it's nice to travel to other places, gain new experiences, make new friends..but HOME is always place to return to and a place that is the most special!!!
I wish one day i can also write a book of my own experiences that i gained in another country, facing new and interesting culture and people. You gotta love two things for that: traveling and writing :)

Okayy, now quick update of my other doings. On Wednesday i spent the whole day at the beach with my sis and mom. But before the beach i went shopping. I hadnt shopped for quite long coz i just didnt have anything in my mind that i could want..and nor did i have a mood to go shopping. But on Wednesday while mom was at the hairdresser me and my sis decided to shop a bit. I got superr cute shorts and rly nice shirt. I also bought rly nice earrings, vintage blue nail polish and cute baby pink flats.

PSSSSSS!!!! Tomorrow's my sister's wedding. Im SO excited. We must set off at 8am already coz we must drive 5 hrs to get to the wedding place[its on the other side of Estonia].. Im gonna take my laptop with me so i can go to twitter and entertain myself in such long journey. Cannot wait!
:)

change of time.

"The road to knowledge begins with the turn of the page."

I've been reading a book today. That basically sums up what i have been doing. Actually i spent a lot of time on the net too. And in the morning i was active with more creative things.. And also finished some things i would have finished a long time ago.. But now they are done. And it feels great!


Im going to bed now.. to read a book & eventually sleep too. Going to the beach tomorrow:) I hope i'll be back by Jaci's webchat!

a bike ride.

It was Monday 1pm when 6 women set off to a journey. It was all to celebrate Raili's birthday.. They were riding and riding until they found a lake where to swim[it was super cool place!]. After swimming and taking pictures they continued their journey. After 22 kms they stopped and had a picnic. A wonderful lunch. There was this chef who cooked in a wild nature[wasnt that wild. LOL]. BAM! Chef turned into a musician: he sang and played a mandolin. Then he opened a bottle of champagne. Then we ate and drank and talked.. Until it was time to hop on the bikes again and keep riding.. this time back at home. It took another 22 kms[surprise surprise!]. At home was a dessert time. They had two different cakes, pies, melon, chocolate and so on..
All they were complaining how much their butts hurt:/
To sum up, it was a very nice day. This whole journey took exactly 6 hours! Everybody were proud of theirselves.

PS! I was talking of today. Mom and her friends and me went to ride bikes. We were celebrating mom's birthday that way!
I forgot to mention i was the photographer and took pix to remember that fun day!haha=)
