Blogging on TV

I am sitting in my sofa surrounded by a TV crew when I start to write this post. The first and last blog post I will write in this manner, that's for sure. Yle TV2, which is one of the national TV channels here in Finland is doing a TV lifestyle programme about creative female bloggers called Blogistania. I am one of them! The program will be broad casted beginning in March 2012. Of course I hesitated about inviting a TV crew in our small crowded home, but then again this could be a once in a lifetime experience and our living situation is no secret. I am much more convenient behind the camera than in front of it and have never ever dreamt of a career as a film star or model so this was very much outside of my comfort zone. But, I really like the theme of this programme series and I do think there should be more real people on TV, so here I am! Here are some "behind the scenes" pictures from the two days I spent with the TV team. All pictures taken by lovely Viivi Lehtonen (YLE 2011). 

A big thanks to my gorgeous friends Tuija and Päivi who dared to come to my somewhat unusual party! And to my big girl Elsa, of course, who rather did some guest-starring than went to the movies with her dad! Now I'm going to my last weekend event for the season, a Christmas craft workshop for kids and families. It has been an Autumn filled with events and new experiences and I am looking forward to the (I think) slower pace of January and to get some more time for blogging, I do not want to feel ashamed to call myself a blogger. Happy weekend!

Moi,

Moi eksyimme blogiisi, koska muutimme edelliseen asuntoonne. Huomasimme kuvissasi eteisen ja olohuoneen välissä seinän. Koska poistitte sen? BTW saimme niistä ideoita omaan sisustukseemme tänne.

It was very exciting and pretty exhausting too! We worked for two ten hour days. I really enjoyed following the process of making TV, but I am glad I do not have to do it as my day-job :)

[Kajsa Wikman]

Kiitos Juulia! En tiedä uskallanko itse katsoa...

Niin piti vielä jatkaa, että tekemisesi ovat niin ihania, että kestävät vallan mainiosti tv-valon ja olet oiva valinta ohjelmaan.

[joola]

Oi miten hienoa, että rohkenit mukaan! Jään odottamaan tuota ohjelmaa mielenkiinnolla!

Hey Kajsa, how exciting was that?.............Great to have some friends for some support.
Sometimes it's good to push the boundaries and see what happens. I'm sure some interesting opportunities will come from it.

Sounds like it will be a very interesting program.
