It's Quiet This Weekend...Because.........

It's probably going to be pretty quiet this weekend, wherever you live in Finland.
Unless you live in a huge major city like Helsinki (in comparison to Jyv�skyl� - it's huge)....or unless you're going to be in Tampere.

Tampere this weekend is hosting THE largest craft exhibition in all of Finland this weekend!

And I'm not going. (*Insert sad face).

I didn't find out about it until a couple days ago - and by then, I had accepted an invitation to hang out with a friend I haven't seen in awhile (with the rest of the family) and eat pan cakes! SCORE! (*Insert messy pancake happy face!)

That, and I don't even know where exactly in Tampere the craft exhibition will be held.  So I'd probably get lost anyway.

I felt really sad and upset that I couldn't go and because I didn't know about it in advance...and sort of left out I suppose.
(Which should be a motivator to get my ass back into learning Finnish I know!...)

However, I'm glad I do have plans with good friends and food....and I should clean, make cards, do laundry, fold diapers, blog, knit etc....
And I know my husband hasn't realized it yet - but his bank account is safer with me not going to Tampere this weekend! HA.

Are YOU going to the Tampere super-huge-once-a-year craft exhibition?
