A Little About Me

Hi! My name is Dewi. I am a Gemini, 30-something Indonesian currently living in Helsinki, Finland. I am an accountant by education, though I choose to venture out of my past profession and start my own yoga-inspired jewelry company to channel my love for yoga, arts and jewelries! I love knitting, cooking, baking and traveling, and to find moments of grounding and peacefulness through my daily practice of yoga and pranayama.

One Year of Being Legally Married - . My mother said that the first year of marriage was the hardest. I did not believe her in the beginning. Juha and I lived together in Helsinki for 2 years prior to getting married and moving to Singapore. How different could it be? . I was not completely right, and my mother’s words was proven to be somewhat true. Regardless of how much you think you know a person, human being always evolved and changed, especially when challenged by moving to a different country, adjusting to a new job and culture, and for me, accepting my current status as a trailing expat wife - the one title I never thought I would ever have. Being in Singapore somehow made me a little restless, and a little bit lost. I was not sure what I wanted to do here, and who I want to be. The only thing that I hold true is to make myself useful and give Juha as much support as he needs, while trying my best to stay grounded, to set my own path and make my own life here. To not get swayed by my own confusion and feeling of stagnation. . We came into marriage with hope, happiness, love and unfortunately, expectation. Tiwariji always said that Happiness is equal to Result minus Expectations. Thus, the least you expect, the happier you would be. Over time, we manage to let go of our different expectations and learned to accept each other’s differences. To enjoy each other’s presence in the limited time that we have each day, and to remind ourself to hold each other’s hand, gives each other comfort and to always welcome each other with hugs. To accept that the person we marry one year a go, has evolved to this new person who is now standing in front of us. But his warm eyes are the same, and his love is the same, if not more. Our early struggle has made us stronger together, and it gives our relationship a different feeling of strength and confidence. . I am grateful for the choice I made, for I have married the one man who manage to challenge me continuously, push my limit, while at the same time always waiting with his arms open wide - waiting for me to fall into his embrace, every single moment of my day. I am home. #love
We queued up for 45 minutes for the Mummy Ride - so this selfie is our reward 🤣🤣🤣🤣 #lifeinaline #universalstudios #mysingapore @evertloho

I came home to find a box of books waiting for me - now all I want to do is curl up in bed and cuddle the book 🤣🤣🤣 - good night! 😘😘 #knittersofinstagram #knitstory
This book has taken over my world. . I have not yet finished it, but I have been glued to the pages with an overwhelming sense of urgency that I tried to stay awake as long as possible every night trying to finish the story, and being a couch potato during the day. I could not remember when was the last time a book has such a profound effect on me. Deep within, in between the little stories which are weaved into the bigger story, I saw that same passion to write which I used to have, and sometimes still do - although it comes more rarely now days. . My thoughts and memories run free while the words of this book dance in front of me. Sometimes I wished that my wild imagination would return and I can start writing again. Because this book taught me that to be able to express your mind, is a gift that should not be taken for granted. That words and imaginations should be celebrated, liberated and freely expressed, regardless of how insignificant you think it is. . Words and writings are healing. Throughout the years, I have experienced this myself. Some of my best writings comes when I was in pain, sad and lost - and those words helped me to reach a better clarity of my own feeling, taking the weight off from my heart without judging. Reading my own writing taught me about myself more than anything else could. . One day, I hope to be able to write more. Juha said that I should start again, even when he is the only person in this world who would stalk my blog and Instagram and read every single notes and poems that I randomly write. Sometimes, you only need a person who believes in you and your stories. And nothing else. . I highly recommend this book. It is a major tear jerker, but the box of tissue that you will spend and the lost of sleep that you will experience, are very much worth it. And if you are one of the many people whose text messages has been a little bit ignored, now you know why. I will be back to real world soon, but for now, I am living my days inside the pages of this book. . #bookworm #bookwormproblems #bestbooksof2018
Say it with Flowers My husband is never the romantic. But occasionally, he will buy me flowers. His flowers are always random, with a bit of funny stories behind it. . Those flowers are mostly things he found while walking home from work when we lived in Helsinki, or when he was biking out in the hills of Ubud during our Bali holidays, and once, he was even getting a bit creative and went to a shopping mall in Jakarta during one of his visit and managed to get a bunch of long stem red roses - that was his crowning glory. . One of my favorite flower moment was the Valentine Day of 2017. We were still living in Helsinki back then. He took me out for lunch, then as we were walking to the bus stop, he stopped in front of a really packed and tiny florist. He said, “let’s get you flowers!” - while grinning from ear to ear. I saw the long line and went “ok, you wait here and I go get us coffee next door”. The coffee, also took a while. I guess I was not the only person needing coffee while waiting for our turn to get flowers on a Valentine’s Day 🤣🤣🤣 . When I finally managed to get the coffee, Juha was already inside the packed and buzzing shop, full of confused looking men staring at different flowers although most of them ended up with the safe choice of roses. He called me in and said “you should choose the flowers yourself” - so I did. I got myself a pot of blooming hydrangea plant. Juha looked at me weirdly and I said “a bouquet will only last me a week. This one can last me a month and it will hopefully grow back!” - He nodded and I became a proud owner of a beautiful pink hydrangea plant. . After we moved to Singapore, Juha has gotten really busy, and the flowers and his creativity has become less. Until one day, while buying vegetables and fruits at a nearby wet market, I spotted a small stall selling fresh flowers. The flowers are not fancy, mostly this round type bunch that comes in many colors, often used for praying or to decorate home altars. I always thought that they are Daisies, but I am never sure. They cost only 1 dollar per stem and I bought myself a whole dozen to filled up the Ikea water jar which I used as a vase. .
Ringing the New Year with the whole family in town!! - with all the 3 children living in 3 different countries, it is a rare joy for my parents to have everyone together under one roof - so in this rare and happy moments, we would like so send our love and greeting for a Blessed and Happy 2019!!! #love #family #familyphotography #happiness #2019 @madame_loho @evertloho @fr17z @citrabella

One of my 2 shawls in the WIP basket - this is 1/3 done, and the problem with having to do an identical second part is the same as when you have completed one sock and have to cast on the second one 🤣🤣🤣🤣 - #secondsleevesyndrome #knittersofinstagram #knitstory - Pattern : modified #startingpointshawl by @jojilocat and #pretty #plantdyedyarn from @myyarnstoryco
Ending 2018 with 12 finished projects and only 2 WIP in the knit basket! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😄😄😄 - sometimes I feel a bit weird for knitting so much while living in a tropical country, but I simply cannot get enough of that happy satisfaction of completing a shawl, or pushing through the second sleeves syndrome - but most of all, I just love to see how colors mix and mingles and magically transformed into something deliciously and delicately wearable. . I spent the morning digging into my yarn stash and decided to make some quick (hopefully 🤣🤣🤣) knit projects using my @labienaimee #merinoaran to kick off the new year. . Here’s the list of what I would like to make, aiming to complete all before Easter! 🙈🙈🙈: - #kurucardigan in #pinkgranite by @jonnahoo , featured in @laine_magazine 5 - another cardigan, this pretty #throwbacksweater by @dreareneeknits in #kitsune #hegelia #wintergarden and #yellowbrickroad - thank you Aimee for helping me choose the colors!!! - and offcourse, my hubby’s hoodie - which he said he wants to wear for our semi-winter trip in February - i guess this one will have to be casted on first!!! Beautiful #amege is my favorite blue from #labienaimee . . Now off to spend the next hours winding up all those yarns 🤣🤣🤣 . #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knitstory #knitdiaries
This little number needs some blocking, but I am so happy that it is finally off the needle!!! Pattern by @jojilocat #worstedboxy in beautiful @myyarnstoryco #plantdyedyarn 😍😍😍😍
Mr. bear not so happy since the hat is a tiny bit too small for him 😄😄😄 - I am feeling productive and decided to sew in all the loose ends of this little cashmere hat, made from @rowanyarns cashmere 😍😍😍 #knittingaddict #knittersofinstagram #iloveknitting #holidayknit
