I am such a Wes Anderson nerd; so can\'t wait for this one! To quote cnet: "Wes Anderson out-Wes Andersons himself".

Filling this one up.I took a walk in the woods today, and walks this time of the year - although this winter is very much warmer than normally - always makes me chilly and calls for a warm bath.(Will also add that here I am carefully balancing and...

I have worked so much and done so many things this summer I once again have some 5000 pics and 500 blogposts I will not manage to ever actually write. But meanwhile here are three, or; make it four awesome things right now-  wine, a vintage maxi...

Ok so it is July already. No biggie. Just prepare mentally for Christmas already, and 2021 and Dag graduating. (I was going the say "the retirement years" but I think we all know I most likely will never really retire from anything...)Well anyway...

This year\'s Suvi-Vintage poster that I did got summery vibes from the late 1950\'s.The vintage fair is in Tampere 29-30.6. I am performing elsewhere but you go!And now I am off to Paris! Peforming on Wednesday, there until Friday evening. Last...

It\'s nice when it is summer and the nights are pale and light again!Here we are outside at 10pm.It is also nice when it is warm and one can wear light clothing in just one layer.Dresses. No socks, no jacket.And it\'s even nicer when your dress...

Well hello there. I have spent my time working and sleeping, or, rather; lying in my bed making lists in the ceiling of all the things I should be doing but have not, and then watching You vs. Wild with Dag. It is his favourite.But today I finally...

In between of being away working on Friday and Saturday, and before starting rather hectic May, this Sunday was a day off, letting the to-do list be for a little while.From snow to flowers in a couple of weeks! Apart from coltsfoot the scillas are...

In today\'s hectic life and it\'s social media climate, where you don\'t always have the time to sit down and read the paper properly but still have the time to scroll, and a lot of what the news feed feeds you is articles ("articles") that...

Or, that were today.Long time no smoothie! I have a bit of chaga at home of so I made an antioxidant-rich smoothie out of chilled chaga-tea, mango, some cherries and physalis.Admiring my super huge (1,81m) Mucha-poster that I ordered from the Mucha...

Now as the sun has returned to our hemisphere it\'s time to show the plants some love, re-pot and take care of them after the winter darkness. This year I -finally- got a couple of plant lamps to help my green inhabitants survive the dark months...

 I got myself a present -Earrings from Mine Güngör! I have been eyeing her designs for some time but not being able to choose a pair, until I saw these fans in a collection sneak peek on instagram.This tassel-version of the Flo-earrings did not end...

a.k.a. it was aliens!Some time ago I made myself a UFO-sweater!Somehow I managed to go almost 38 years without one.I bought an appliqué (via Etsy*)  and sew it onto a sweater.Or, first I carefully ironed it and then as it did not stick everywhere I...

You may know that my love for putting wheels on, or rather: under things, is just about as big as my love for pockets.When we made Dag\'s room we put wheels under most of the storage. Easy to move around when playing, building fortresses and...

I\'m continuing my -apparent- theme colours for this fall; here in a jumpsuit I sew myself in a dark, plum-brownish shade.I\'ve noticed that sewing is perhaps the closest to a hobby I have, as I otherwise don\'t really have time for one...

The crowd-funded Atelieri O.Haapala book is finally here and it is so beautiful I almost want to cry!The bi-lingual book -the texts are both in Finnish and English- features the studio\'s portraits and distinctive style of photography from the...

Do you still have apples from this fall" One of my favourite things to make of autumn apples is apple mash with ginger!Apple mash is what we usually cook of apples around here; as in smoother than jam with bits and looser than a hard marmalade. I...

You\'ve seen me talk about it trough the years - my love for autumn. I do enjoy all seasons (except perhaps for spring, as spring in Finland often turns out rather not only short but non-existent; two months of disappointment. Sadly), but while I...

Today it\'s the gloomy Halloweenish weather one would expect with mid-October approaching (already! What" How"), but yesterday we woke up to a breathtaking colourful frosty sunrise that I even tossed out barefoot for to try and catch with my...

Let me first start this by saying that I am definitely and foremost waiting for Halloween (and now that the second week of October is about to start I consider Halloween-season here!).But.While it is as little as 80 days until Christmas (!!!),  it...

Last spring before I went to France I quickly made this yellow ochre-coloured A-line skirt (like, the actual night before, because that is what insane people like me do in order to maintain a maximum stress level). I had had the fabric waiting in my...

Photo: Neil KendallIt will be a full moon tonight and if the sky is clear I know I will most likely be woken up by it, as it stares straight into my window around 3am with a light strong enough to penetrate my sleep. But I still don\'t want to...
