project 365: weeks xlvi-xlviii

I don't even know where I have disappeared myself, but here's the missing Project 365 photos from November:

 315: Always in bed.

rettig palace

In the spring (so, a long time ago - yikes) I visited this exhibition on the Rettig Palace for its 90th anniversary. The palace is where the Aboa Vetus & Ars Nova museum is located nowadays, but it used to be the home - "palace" - of the von Rettig family. I'd already been interested in learning more about the palace and the Rettigs, so this was perfect!

project 365: week xlv

 308: Last week was mostly about boring essay-writing and other uni work.

 It's time for me to be Snorkmaiden yet again!

project 365: week xliv

nivala in the summer

 I didn't do anything spooky for Halloween, but here's some graveyard pictures (plus other things than graveyards) for this season. These are actually from the summer, and cemeteries and graveyards are perfect any time of the year, but they also seemed appropriate for Halloween/All Saint's.

project 365: week xliii

 294: Started the week with a biscuit and a hot chocolate, i.e. what I do all the time. Actually bought these biscuits so that I'd have snacks to take to uni but they didn't last long enough..

project 365: weeks xl-xlii

I've been a bit absent, but here's photos from the last couple of weeks:

 273: A wee walk home through my favourite local cemetery.

botanical

 I think I may not be properly ready to say bye bye to summer as I still have a whole lot of summer photos of flowers and such. I am excited about autumn and the spooky season, too, though!

project 365: week xxxix

Here's my photos from the last week of September:

 266: Took some autumn pictures.

 "... the Snork Maiden frisked in and out between trees picking flowers to match whatever mood she happened to be in, and putting them behind her ears."

project 365: weeks xxxv-xxxviii

 244: Started September with a bujo lunch.

project 365: weeks xxxi-xxxv

Here's what August was like:

 213: Finally got to some of my sewing projects.

moomin mug inspired: fuzzy

 No, I didn't get married this summer. Not even close.

project 365: weeks xxvii-xxxi

I'm almost done with these mega Project 365 posts and then back to (possibly) posting them weekly again. However, for now, this was July:

project 365: weeks xxii-xxvi

This is what my June looked like:

 152: Obviously I was watching the Champions League final and, honestly, that was probably the happiest day of my year(/life). Because you know who's the Champions of Europe!

project 365: weeks xviii-xxii

Here's photos from May:

 121: It was raining.

moomin mug inspired: keep waters clean

 Keep waters clean!

project 365: weeks xiv-xviii

Here's photos from April:

 091: I was still keeping up with my bujo! (I've forgotten later in the year.. But want to get back to it!)

moomin mug inspired: midsummer

 "While the fire slowly died down to a glow and the morning breeze lazily drifted over the grass, the Snork Maiden and the Fillyjonk gathered their secret nosegays."

project 365: weeks x-xiii

These all feel like they're from so long ago, but I've been keeping up with my photo-a-day project and it'd be a shame not to share them anywhere. This is most of March:

moomin mug inspired: siesta

 Happy Moomin's Day, friends!

moomin mug inspired: spring winter

 
Hi. It's me. Yet another month later. And because it is a month later, it certainly is proper spring and not spring winter now. 'Spring winter' isn't even a real term in English but it is in Finnish and it's the name of this Moomin mug. Spring winter, quite obviously, can be either late winter or early spring which basically looks like these pictures; there's still lots of snow but it's also really sunny and it's getting warmer. And I suppose it makes sense there's no word for such an in-between season when this is definitely not what spring looks like in most places.

The snow is slowly melting over here in Finland and it should technically be spring now, but it is decidedly still winter. At least in Lapland. So here's more wintry Moomin scenes.

project 365: week ix

 056: Started last week with the new Moomin series. It was never going to be as good as the 90s version, was it, but it's still cute and I'm going to be watching it. (Just saw the second episode today!)

project 365: week vii & week viii

 I disappeared from online for a while (again) but here's what I've been up to:

 042: Packing. This makes it look like I have the most boring black and grey wardrobe which is only partially true.

moomin mug inspired: moominpappa

I am off on an adventure!

project 365: week vi

 035: Monday was my physiotherapy day so I also had a little walk around the city.

project 365: week v

 028: Started last week by actually doing some work like a real person!

project 365: week iv

 021: Woke up early to see the moon, but in vain because it was cloudy and by the time it cleared up the eclipse was pretty much over.

moomin mug inspired: moominmamma

 It's all my favourite things yet again; Moomins, vintage, sewing. None of which there can be too much of in this world. (Yes, there can, but there isn't too much of them in my life!) This time I'm dressed up as Moominmamma and trying my best to be as gentle and as patient as her - characteristics that I would not perhaps normally choose first when actually describing myself.

hermanson and åström

 I mentioned visiting both Hermanson's and Åström's at the end of last year, and finally here's some more pictures from back then. A little mixture of mid-century Sweden and 19th century Finland. Although Haparanda (where Hermanson's is) and Tornio (where Åsröm's is) are basically the same city that just happens to be divided into two countries. I feel like I say this every time I write about this part of the world but you truly don't even notice you're abroad.

project 365: week III

 014: A nice picture of the Moomin mugs I have at my flat (and not at my mum's) or just some dishes waiting to be washed? Definitely not the latter..

queen of the underworld

 I was only going to take one of these photos, but one turned into a whole lot and it felt only right to share them. Really, if you don't take photos of yourself as Persephone and publish them on your blog, what are you doing with your life?

project 365: week II

 007: Setting up a new week in my bujo; only boring things. And still eating Christmas treats (this makes me want to bake some more this week, haha!)!

moomin mug inspired: light snowfall

 You may have already seen this mug in some of my Project 365 posts as it's the newest and most favourite addition to my collection and obviously had to be the next one in this series. I knew I was getting the mug for Christmas so I actually took these pictures before owning the mug (apart from the ones with the mug in, obviously!).

project 365: week I

It's a new year and time for yet another Project 365 and new photos for every day of the year. Here's what my first week of 2019 looked like:

project 365: week fifty-two

I hope you've started 2019 wonderfully! Before getting into the new year I still have my last pictures from 2018 that I forgot to post earlier. So here's the finale of last year's Project 365:
