Snow, snow...

So, we´re leaving for a few days. Leaving this santa-land to go to the westcoast.
We´ll be back after new years. It´s possible to order from the shop, but I won´t be able to send anything untill January 3rd. Merry Christmas everyone! Thank you for following me this year. It´s been so great to know people in Australia, the USand all over. Take care and I´ll see you in 2010.

Candyrain...

...is the name of my latest and only necklace in the shop. It will probably only be 3 of them. I got the pearls from my mothers friend who used to live in China. Seashells it is. Will brighten up any black winter outfit out there. Had fun taking pictures of dear cousin AnnaKarin while Otto tore the place down. We had a hard time holding our laugh.

Apple and Pear

Apple and Pear. Made upon request in the shop.

My first retailer...

So happy to announce the first retailer for my posters! It happens to be one of my favorite shops "Liebling" runned by sweet Li Aronsson. Its located in Malmö in south of Sweden. Not am I only happy to have a retailer, but also to have them in a place I like. The posters will fit right in! Photos taken by Sara.

More Madrid...

So much have happened lately but I seem to have forgotten the camera. Lot´s of social stuff, glögg-parties, work and a little man witha big ear-infection. So, I´ll do as I promised, to post some more pictures from my lovely trip to Madrid instead!
The shop is open now and I recieved my first order all the way from Australia! This is so exiting, and it makes me so happy. It´s somthing I´ve wanted to do for so long. Thank you!

Coming soon...

Ok, folks, the shop is getting ready to open soon. I´ve been hoping to open it before christmas, but I keep finding things to improve, and way too little time left over to fix. Perhaps I´ll just open it and improve things in the meantime. Heres a peek of my new alphabet-poster and number-poster. Size 50x70 cm.

Big boy

He is growing, my little man. Last year at this time he was only two months.
Now he ponits at mammas nose and says mammas nose.
Hides behind curtains and wants me to look for him.
Wakes me up with smiles in the morning. Wake up, wake up, play with me!

A love beyond whats understandable.

And the winner is...

Sara!!! I made 16 numbers for all of you, and picked one, and the lucky winner of the earrings is Sara over at happysilly.blogspot.com. I will send them to you right away so you can decorate yourself for christmas.

Oh, folks, I am soon opening up my webshop. I about a week it will be ready, and you will
be able to see more of earrings, posters, broches etc. Finally something I´ve thought about for so long will be realized. Stay tuned for more info!

Earrings give-away

You will look good in these! Now I´m giving this one newly-made black and white-porcelainpair away. The beads are from Madrid and I have only made 4 pairs. Just sign up under comments. The winner will be picked on friday the 4th of December. Take care of yourselves, everyone.

Bits of my weekend

So, this weekend turned out to be quite busy. M went away all weeken and Otto and I was by ourselves. Lots of coffee with friends, playtime in the park, nice dinners every night (forgot the camera though) and today nice glywine-party. I did have some time to craft as well, as you can see on our dinnertable. I am making reflect-broches, perfect for the dark winter! And earrings.

Morning sun in Madrid apartment

This is Andras fantastic place. So lovely to wake up to this light every morning.

Blanca Helga

My next couple of posts are likely to be about my inspiring trip to Madrid! Returned yesterday very content and happy. First out is my encounter with lovely Blanca Helga whos work I found so inspiring. She shares the studio with my dear friend Andra. To my surprise, I found a picture of my friend Elisabeth Dunker on Blancas wall, wich brought a lot of laughs and conversation. More from Madrid to come, stay with me the next couple of days.

Father improving

Fathers day.
The hospital.
Joy. In small, small steps, he is improving.
He got his swallowingfunction back and can now eat.
So happy I had to bake him muffins.
He is the only one in the hospital who cherish the food.
Could be he hasn´t eaten for 4 weeks. 12 kilos less of him.
But his ability to show feelings and his great sense of humor
takes him far.

Lovely, lovely little dad. How proud I am of you.
And I have realized what an amazing person you are.

Lovely pets

Check out Have you met miss Jones posted by Maaret over at Visual Notes! I love how the porcelain-pets are placed in the drawers. Made me laugh.

For inspiration...

Some excellent persons I visist as often I can; (from left) Dear Sara Blohmé who I seem to constantly long for, Sandra Juto who is in Lula but who I funnily never have met, Kate Miss illustraions on photos and whos necklace I wear everyday. I only know her through the blog but she brightens my days. Dear Elisabeth Dunker who I was in the same class with for three years at HDK, and Lena Sjöberg, who I don´t know but admire for her precise illustrations. Let these girls brighten your grey November-day!

Visiting friends

Lunch at dear Lisa. Her and her husbands homebuilt kitchen is lovely! So simple, yet stylish.




While being in the neighbourhood, we also visited Annis and Johns new place. A lovely, light dream in blocks to envy. The litle boys hit it off right away. Such a warm and inspiring afternoon. I thank god for my friends. I cherish you all!
