Origami Heart Advent Calendar

2012-11-30T11:50:00.001+02:00

I wanted to make a simple home-made calendar for Mila.Since I had some left over origami papers from my wreath,I googled "Origami Heart Envelope" and found thesefolding instructions. I tried to put mine in a shape of a christmas tree...bigger heart would be nice too. Or star?

Things I love in Finland: Maternity Package

2012-11-29T15:14:00.000+02:00

The New Finnish Maternity Package has a new design called "Sukupuu" = "Family Tree". obviously you can fill your own there. The box itself is very handy - you can use it as a baby crib or as an extention to your family bed, since you can fold one side down. This year it has a lot of turqoise color, which is nice! One of my favorite colors. And how did they knew I love

I found a bunch of these origami-papers from my deskdraw and decided to make my first christmas decorations this year, welcoming wreath to our door.

This year I'm planning to do all the

Are you going to eat me? I haven't done this kind of daydream photos with Vincent since he's not as sound sleeper as Mila was, and as you can see, he has some skin problems too. His well-being is of course my priority. I'm having other creative things going around now, just wait for it ;) ( And of course I still have my new Fairy Tales -inspired When My Baby Dreams -book coming 2013!)

How to (try) stay creative with never sleeping kids...

2012-07-23T12:56:00.002+03:00

1. Don't try to stay in your own, tiny working space. 2. Put your needy newborn in a sling. 3. Prime your huge canvas in the living room while.... 4. ...your terrible two is getting closer to edge of the paper with pencils. 5. And pray that those tiny hands stay away from the wet paint, while you cook lunch/answer to the phone/breastfeed/look the other way. Repeat until your

I just wanted to show you the pictures where I got the idea. One day Mila fell asleep on a blanket and looked like a little fencer. Next day, when I was looking that picture, I thought it could be funnier if there was something else happening on a background. They could be her dreams illustrated! So I waited until she was sleeping again and built this little forest from a

A while ago I gave an interview to one italian magazine called D – La repubblica delle Donne (Magazine No.770, pages 128-129 and 130-131, article by Valentina Pigmei) and I liked that article a lot, well I can't speak italian, but I translated it with google translator, so I believe I understood the most of it.
