Sunny Saturday

                                                   Swans resting on Lake Matalajärvi.

                                                               In the herb garden.

                                                      
                                                                   Lake Pitkäjärvi.

We had a beautiful warm sunny autumn day on Saturday. I grabbed my camera and went out for a long walk. Several hours later I had taken almost 200 photos. I spent most of the weekend organizing my photos and putting tags on them. No jewelry this weekend either. Seems my inspiration has taken a vacation... 


Books I've read:

• Trudi Canavan: The Magician's Apprentice ( the prequel to the Black Magician Trilogy)
• Kelley Armstrong: Darkest Powers Trilogy (YA books set in the same universe as her Women of the Otherworld books)

Have a good week!

Autumn colors

Dahlias again

I'm sure you're all tired of dahlias by now. These are the last of them - I promise! They are so wonderful! I love all the different colors!

The weekend went by quickly. I finally got my beading table cleaned up. It's been some months since I've actually seen the surface of the table... I hope I'll get some beading done next weekend!

These are some of the books I've read:

• Janet Evanovich: Finger Lickin' Fifteen (a super funny Stephanie Plum novel)
• Kelley Armstrong: Men of the Otherworld & Tales of the Otherworld (most of these stories were previously available online on her website)
• Tanya Huff: Blood Bank (a collection of all the short stories about Henry, Vicki and Mike)
• "Death's Excellent Vacation" (a new Sookie story by Charlaine Harris + Jeanine Frost, Lilith Saintcrow and others)
• "Dark and Stormy Knights" (Ilona Andrews, Jim Butcher, Lilith Saintcrow, Carrie Vaughn and others!)
• C.E. Murphy: the five and a half books about Joanne Walker (the half being the short story in "Winter Moon", mystery with a Native American twist)

Have a good week!

A beautiful day
