Lovely! I wonder if I could make lace gloves by knitting or crochet?

Against the Light

I really love the feeling in this photo; there's something calm and exciting at the same time. And I guess that's what I want out of life: to have an exciting life while still maintaining my peace of mind at all times.

This is a good example of how great photos taken against the light can be. One of the first rules that they teach you in photography class is that you're not supposed to take photos against the light, but I'm experimenting with breaking that rule big time right now. One friend commented that "sometimes you have to break the rules to create something beautiful". That's true not only in art, but in life as well.

San Miguel de Allende

I adore this photo taken in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. I had never heard of this town but Jane Aldridge, one of my favourite style bloggers, goes there often and posts really amazing photos. So I'd really like to see it - and photograph it - myself one day. I've never been to Mexico.

I can't belive that this giant teddy bear statue exists - I really want to see it. This is taken in New York City.

Extensions of me

Love this painting because it has many elements I love: laptop, mobile phone and cat! These days I feel as if my phone and laptop are almost extensions of myself. How could one manage life without them anymore? And notice how the cat's tail is lovingly wrapped around the girl's leg.

Beach Life

Beach, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

I love this photo. I have always been fascinated by the idea of living outdoors. When we were kids, my brother and I sometimes slept in a tent in the backyard. And when I'm in India, I love for example doing the laundry outdoors: all you need is a tap, a bucket, a bar of soap and a clothesline - and a sunny day (and there's plenty of those in India). I really hope that someday I'll get to live outdoors for a longer period of time, probably in Asia or Africa.

Kitchen Challenge

IMG_0829, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

My mom posted a photo of her old kitchen as part of a "kitchen challenge". Here is a photo of our old kitchen, when we were living in Iivisniemi, Espoo, Finland.

This was our first home together. We had lived for just a little while in my apartment, but it was somehow not the same: it was as if my (then) boyfriend was living in my home. But this was the first apartment that was truly ours. We also renovated it by ourselves and that always makes it feel more like one's own (even when rented).

This was also our last permanent home in Finland. After this, we were drifting a little bit because we were planning to leave Finland permanently. We have now done that and are happy to be living in the Czech Republic.

Chennai

Video taken by my husband in Chennai (Madras), India. This was a business trip and his first time in India. Since then, we have been back three times already and hope to go back again soon. This was taken in September of 2007.

Tuscany

Video of the hotel we stayed at in Tuscany, July 2009. Tuscany is pretty much my idea of paradise.
