Almost Ballerina


Patsey's new hobby for couple of months has been classical ballet. Since she had never ever danced anything, she decided to start with the hardest one. And after those two months was her ballet premiere, in front of the camera though, whilst her ballet group Wannabe Ballerinas was attendig music video shoot for a finnish artist Olavi Uusivirta. More coming soon.

Loving Mr. Tapiovaara



Yesterday Patsey did so far the biggest investment to her flat-to-be. Considering she doesn't even live in the flat yet, and is about to do total renovations there, this is a big thing. The item was a Pirkka table designed by Ilmari Tapiovaara. Strategic measures of the new baby are 150 x 80 cm, and there are two benches on the sides. Colour is dark brown and black.


The Pirkka series were designed originally in 1955 and produced by Laukaan Puu. Patsey would have wanted the original table and benches from 1950´s-1970´s, but those were sold in various sizes and conditions. So when she found that perfect combination, in which the color and size fit perfectly, she took the offer. Now the dear table is waiting to be transferred to her temporary home, at the warehouse of Aero design shop. And hopefully in some months the flat around the table will be ready too.

Exciting times we live



Moving from one place to another is always hard. But even harder it is when one moves herself to another place than her things.


Few moths ago Patsey found her dream flat in Punavuori, Helsinki. If the flat was great and reasonally priced, the problems were major too. The flat was sold with a tenant in it, who still after three months hasn't moved away, and the pipes in the building were about to be renovated soon.


Therefore poor Patsey found herself in a situation in which she was about to move her things to the garret of her new flat, and she'll be moving with her ex-flatmate. Once separated, together again! Great thing was that the temporary flat was found easily. Now the challenge is to figure out what she will need for the next few months.

In Sweden they have everything

Bored as hell at work, one day Patsey found a funny tool to make pictures to look like pictures of miniature things. She decided to try that feature offered by Tiltshift immediately. Funny thing was, that the first picture she found was from a toilet in Stockholm. That toilet was obviously specifically made for giggling and gossiping girls, since one toilet had two toilet seats. That's actually really clever, since so often girls tend to go to toilet together. This way the queues get shorter and toilet trip more comfortable. Great swedes, great!
