We Are So Cute and We Know It (1)

Do these images need any explanations? Auntie made little trousers!

Easter Blues

Mommy has had a blues for several weeks, but we are fighting it together. Things are getting better -merry Easter holidays!

Opening my latest show

We were hanging the artworks together on March 5th and opening the show on March 6th. Drilling the concrete walls of the gallery did not interrupt her daydreaming at all (photograph by courtesy of Ilpo Päiväläinen)!

Spots...

Her grandmother did send a nice skirt to our tiny Seal Puppy few days ago. By the way, how come her mother likes spots too?

Little routines in twilight

We have started our daily routines... and nightly! Our little seal puppy bathed two nights ago for her first time in life. Unfortunately she was hungry and the whole thing involved quite a lot screaming and crying. But we are learning more and more, how to live with this new wonderful person.

Was it Tom Waits, who sang that you are innocent when you dream?

Birthday

I got this little image as my 47th birthday postcard. Please, forgive me this twisted self irony, but I really feel kind of an alpha-male... I have an upcoming solo show in a local gallery. I mean this week!

We have been at home since last Friday evening and all routines plus new things seem to find their place perfectly. I did some salmon teriyaki, grilled tofu with chinese mushrooms and sushi last Saturday. We finished the evening with champagne!

Riitta has started to make walks outside so we are proceeding, though still very emotional and she is sometimes exhausted. I have lots of time (working in our studio only max. 3 hours every day), so we do share all responsibilities of taking care of the baby. Fortunately the seal puppy sleeps at night 4-hour periods! I do get my privacy and solitude in the early morning hours, when everybody else is at sleep and the coffee with a fresh newspaper gives me time to think and relax.
