Busy as a magpie

Signs of spring... Patches of grass on the ground, 

water pouring from the drainpipe, lighter coats 

in town - or your calendar filling up with to-dos

and deadlines. I noticed that someone else in the

 neighbourhood is busy too!

Lambada

The Big Nightingale

I finally got my piece of Maija Louekari's design. 

I actually bought that fabric last summer, but it 

took me this long to get my good old sewing machine 

back home from school (as it's mostly made of metal 

it's quite a nice one to carry around in town and 

in the bus...) A dream for the summer would be a long 

curtain of Louekari's print Kaiku - Echo.

Paper birds

2011, tempera and oil on canvas,

One of those days

...you just never want to forget!

Good times

 

 

 

Last weekend was nice, and maybe that's why this week 

has felt so laborious. I've realized that one thing 

I hate above all is making a disappointment. 

Disappointment - a word that my frien suggested to 

be the name of our once-to-be band. 

Funny I didn't like it :).

Having a flu (last one this winter?).

Wiping off dust.

Liking blue, in the sky and in my new spring coat.

Feeling that I'm finally having a life of my size.
