One of my favourite TV shows is Americas Next Top Model and tonight they just aired the final episode of season 15. I really loved the winner - Ann Ward. Such a special look and amazing height she has! Really beautiful;=)

Sunday sneezy sunday

Hi there!

Sorry for my absence yesterday but with a very ill little Nemo I didnt find any time to blog. His cold reached a peak yesterday and the day was filled with tears, wining, sneezing, coughing and tiredness.

Today he seem to feel better and that´s great! Now I have gotten the same cold so its me that´s a bit under the water but luckily there are great pain killers and nose sprays to keep me up. The night was horrible and I just longed for some Nyquils to relieve me, but since I still am nursing him a bit I dont want to use it.

Hope you all had a great sunday and let´s have a great new week now;=) Enjoy the day!

BFF;=)

My best friend is on her way and I have fixed coffee and some sweet things for us;=)

She is also both Seths and Nemos god mother so she is a VIP for us;=)

Enjoy your afternoon!

Blue shoes;=)

Here´s my new shoes I ordered from H&M. I got these cause I just love a similar blue shoe from Isabel Marant;=)

The blue ones I have gotten are the same shoes as the cute black ones I blogged about some days ago, remember?

They are really cute and I think they are ok to wear for some nice summer party or for a coffee in the city with friends. It´s not leather so I wont use them for a longer walk but for that price they are perfect to add some colour this summer;=)

Studio diary from Tuomas;=)

Petrax Studio, March 2011

A week or so ago I felt the Curse of the Mummy was cast upon us. The vocal recordings were set to begin on Monday March 7th but Anette fell at her home just a few days before that and broke her rib. Thinking positive, luckily just that, from the sound of it it could`ve been much worse. So now she just needs to rest and heal well before we continue, the new vocal recording date set to the beginning of April. We`ll take our time and do nothing half-way at this point.

So we called Marco to enter the studio for a couple of days before he left for winter holidays with his family. We figured we need to make the best of the booked studio time anyway. The first thing he told me on Tuesday was that he`d slipped on his front porch and hurt his rib, not sure if he`ll be able to sing. At the same time Mikko (Karmila, the recording engineer) was lying in bed, sick to the core.

On Wednesday Marco was still hurting, Anette hadn`t improved at all, Mikko was still sick in bed and Tero (Kinnunen, the other recording engineer) was run over by a horse and a cart (!)

There was 3 more weeks of studio time left and I was alone sipping some Shiraz by the studio`s mixing console trying to come up with a counter - spell to put the poor mummy`s soul to rest.

Now, a week later things are looking much brighter. Marco was actually able to sing a couple of tracks thanks to Mr. Burana, Tero hurt his pride worse than his body, Mikko is back from the dead, and I just heard Anette was able to go outside for the first time in two weeks. Wonderful news! I also got all my keyboard, piano & hammond - parts recorded, we got majority of the soundscapes a`la Mr. Jussi Tegelman put in place and Mikko already started the editing process. So no studio time wasted after all.

Now it`s all about waiting for Anette to get well, getting Marco to record the rest of his vocals, and flying Troy over to record his pipes and show us some of his legendary magic.

In the meanwhile, a beautiful springtime to everyone. I`ll write more soon.

Nemo is crawling!

Nemo has been on his way to crawl for some time and we have been waiting for it. Today he did it! Not moving so fast but yeah - he was crawling for the first time;=)

Now it´s time to make our home even more children safe for sure;=)

What the???

So, yesterday the weather suddenly changed from spring to winter again and snow came down. What the???

This morning there´s some snow left but its gonna be milder again and I do hope this is the end of the winter for this season. Let us have spring and 15 degrees!!!

And Nemo has had a hard night again. He´s gotten a really bad cold and the nose is just rinning and he is coughing so no fun;=( Poor baby! He´s resting now and I hope he´ll get a good long sleep to make up for the night.

Enjoy the day!
