Time for goodbyes

As you have noticed, I haven't been blogging much lately, but I have been very busy in the world outside of my computer. We moved in our new house 1,5 weeks ago and we really enjoy living in there. But of course there is still a lot to do with a garden and decorating etc.

Even though I love writing, I want to (and need to) focus on other things in my life now. I have also notice that it is still nicer to call or visit a friend and discuss about life than publish your own thoughts online.

HUGE thank you to all my readers and have a great autumn!

Long and relaxing weekend


I spend last weekend and Easter by relaxing with my lovely friends and family, reading magazines, eating good food (and candies of course) and enjoying sunny days.





This lovely bouquet of flowers I got, really brightens up my mood every time I see it.

They are building our basement!

I got a few pictures from our basement supplier (Potius) about the building process of our concrete wall elements. By the way, isn't that great service or what! At least we have been very pleased with this supplier.

I can't wait until the basement is ready. Let's hope the time flies like they say.

Our own small piece of land

Yippee! Finally there's something happening here with our small piece of land. Our very first goal was to cut down trees and the next step was to begin clean up. Then the excavators were welcome.







A big thanks to all the helpers!

Another singing performance

Today I was honored to perform a beautiful and tender Finnish song to my Godson on his christening day.

Below you can find the link to the song in YouTube.

Decorating ideas

I am a big fan of decorating magazines and books. I also read regularly many decorating blogs on the web. But I do have a few favourites that I read more regularly than others and those links can be found from the "Pages I Like" part.

Here is a few ideas or pictures which I found while reading through decorating books last time.

Adding watermarks to photos

Regarding a comment I got from one of my readers. I decided I should start watermarking.

Adding a visible watermark is a common way of identifying images. If the photographer places a watermark on the images, people will be less likely to pass it on to others, or to post it to their own blog without a permission.

Do you think it is necessary to watermark a photo before sharing online nowadays?

Johtoi Oy

Look what I found! A Finnish company named Johtoi Oy sells wonderful decoration products related to lighting and cables.

The main idea is the wide range of colorful products which can brighten up daily life at home, office or summer house.

Very nice online shop. I must place an order!
