Creative phase continues

After her last success with the Thai Pavilion, Annikki has not stopped her creative phase. The latest is a very simple flower stand.

She took some birch branch cuttings, which we normally feed to the wood burner, and tied them together with rope, put it standing up, and we had two great looking flower stands.





With the right flowers in simple flower pots - this looks absolutely great in the garden! Of course, you can also use these flower stands indoors!



Annikki's sister, Anneli, from South Finland is visiting us in Oulu and the two sisters have been talking non-stop for a couple of days.

Joanna, Tony and family, who are holidaying about an hour and a half from Oulu, drove in yesterday to meet Anneli.

I took Samu for his football practice, and he was in great form yesterday, scoring 7 of the nine goals. He still has to practice, but each time I watch him I feel he is improving by leaps and bounds.
