I woke up around 8 o´clock. It is a cloudy but very warm day in August. We are eating breakfast outside of course, a bowl of yogurt with cereals and some strawberries and a cup of
tea. Our view from the breakfast table is adorable we are starring right out over the Baltic sea. I have been running around on this little tiny village every summer since childhood, I know every stone and path. I love to be here in my paradise of earth.
Earlier it was an fisher village, now a days mostly summer guests.

I have been study art and crafts orientating towards textile. I have been lucky to work with that through my life.I never regret that choice it have not made me rich but happy. Of course I have had many times of moaning not earning enough money and working with boring job just for money.
I have my own little space for creating and other on going projects. I have a loom here and are weaving some rug carpets.
Some years ago I went to classes for to learn computer programs. I found it so fascinating and fun so if I had been younger I really wanted to make it to my profession.Here is my site
