Jackpot

Tonight we scored high at the local health care center. With 3 children we managed to get 3 throat infections, 2 ear infections with high fever and 1 bad stomach. Not to mention how mummy is feeling. Sometimes it feels like I hang on with my bare teeth!

Jul på svenskt hemslöjd/ Christmas at Swedish Craft

On the 6´th of dec The Svensk slöjd stores have a special evening between 18-21 o´clock. I love those white little "elfs".

I think... or rather ...I know... I´m addicted to knitted cardigans. The reason may be that I´m freezing all the time!. This Rose cardigan is to die for! If I could afford it I would by it. But a girl can dream!

A little crown to go with the cardigan!... Here I go again!.. A crown is never wrong...Or You could put a candle in it !

Den här är ännu bättre!....Jag tror jag skall kolla min släktkrönika...det kanske finns nå´t kungligt som tränger på!
This one is even better!...I think I will go and check my ansesters...perhaps there is some Royal blood that want´s to come out in the open!

Eld och Is / Fire and Ice


This morning the sky was on fire. I love the colors of winter all the way from grey tones, blue, ochre, yellow and pink. My best Oil painting teacher ever, maestro Lennart Sand, always paints with such sublime gray colors, but the man is color blind! This picture above is acording to him a "girly sky"....OK the man is a hunter and walks with polarbears and other dangerous animals!... But a little pink shouldn´t hurt!

This morning I was looking at this beautiful view from my office window at work...Typical "girly sky"!


Why is it that all grey days there are crows high up in all old trees. It makes me feel even moore cold.

När jag for hem från jobbet var jag tvungen att stanna och fota lite. Kolla bara på färgerna och den glimmrande grå krispigheten...

When I drove home from work I just had to stop and take some photographs. It looks as if everything is covered with diamond dust.
Jag har så många intressen så det känns lite konstigt ibland. Å ena sidan älskar jag det naturliga med gråa stenar ,silvriga gistna träd, vatten vilda djur å andra sidan kan jag fullständigt frossa i det romantiska med glitter, pärlor ,blommor, vackra gamla bilder, smycken, band och tyger.....Är det tecken på personlighetsklyvning tro??
I have so many interests in my life so I sometimes feel a little weird. I love pure nature with grey stones, silvery old wood, water and wild animals ...on the other hand I can get lost in glitter,beads, flowers,pretty pictures,jewelry, ribbons and beautiful fabric....Is this a sign of split personality???...I wonder...

Frukostgäst / Company for Breakfast


Look who joined us for breakfast this morning . She didn´t bring her family and friends though.

Hmmm... wonder who those guys are...?

Vackra djur!...Mmmm, rådjursfilé, tänker grannen! Visst jag älskar rådjursfilé men då får nog nå´n annan skjuta för det skulle jag aldrig kunna göra.
Beautiful animals!...Mmmm , roe deer fillet, my neighbour is thinking! I love roe deer fillet but somebody else has to do the hunting, I would never be able to kill such a wonderful animal!
Hey You! That´s MY but, don´t You even think of it!!

Thank`s for the breakfast! See You soon!

Vinter


This is the view from my studio right now. OK ...My studio..actually I share it with my husband but he complaines that I´m sort of taking over the place! You know ...stashes of fabric,ribbons,beads, painting media, not to mention glitter and glues! Anyone else got that problem?

Staiways to heaven! This is "our" studio from the outside

Denna rostiga kruka var en bröllopspresent. Fast jag tror nog att jag skall ta in den i vinterträdgården nu! Man hinner inte med allt! Apropådet, det var därför Gud skapade mödrar, han kunde omöjligen vara överallt!
This rusty pot was a wedding gift. I think I´d better move it inside the conservatorie. There isn´t just enough time to do everything and be everywhere! By the way that´s why The Lord created mothers, because he couldn´t possibly be everywhere!

Vackra mönster / Beautiful Patterns




I like norwegian patterns. Just look at theese wonderful blankets from Oleana, created by a norwegian designer , Solveig Hisdal. She is most famous for her beautiful knitted cardigans but nowadays you can find silken dresses, pillows and blankets. She is also a very skilled photographer and she´s the one who takes all the photos for Oleana.

Här är lite annat norskt att inspireras av: Vackra brudkronor med band. När vi gifte oss så tänkte jag faktiskt ett tag att gifta mig i full folkdräkt med riktig brudkrona.... suck.... men det blev vitt.


Let yourself be inspired by theese beautiful norwegian wedding crowns. When we got married this summer I had in mind to wear a folkcostume with a wedding crown, but in the end .... I wore a white weddingdress. But aren´t theese crowns just beautiful!

Advent

Advent betyder väntan... och det är precis vad jag gör nu .Väntar på vintermys med tända ljus, saffransbullar,pepparkakor....mmmm! Och så kan man ju drömma om allt fint som man kan pynta med till jul. Jag älskar julen när allt är rent och fint och pyntat.
Advent means waiting.... and that is exactly what I´m doing right now. I´m waiting and longing for christmas. I love christmas with all the candle light moments with coffe, saffron buns and gingerbreads. And when the house is cleaned from floor to roof and decorated with all the lovliest christmas decorations.


Yesterday I made som felted hearts that I think I will hang in the kitchen window för christmas

Vinter och konst/ Winter and art

Nu när vintern och kung Bore har slagit sitt järngrepp om oss och mörkret råder kan man faktiskt sitta på sin kammare med en sprakande brasa och pyssla lite.
The king of Winter, king Bore, has spread his magical white glitter over our countryside and it´s quite cosy to sit by the fire and let yourself fall into the creative mode.


Denna tavlan gjorde jag som ett litet tack till Arto ,en mycket begåvad musiker som hjälpte mig och min man med bröllopsmusik till vårt bröllop i somras. Vi gifte oss äntligen efter 12 år och tre barn!
I made this mix media canvas as a little gift to Arto , a very talented musician, who helped me and my husband with the music on our wedding in july. We finally got married after twelve years and three kids!


Aaah! Summer !....that wasn´t too long ago....

Vi fick fint besök i trädgården....Jag tror att han/hon ligger i ide i vår stora komposthög nu.
We had a very qute visitor in our garden. I belive he/she is sleeping his/hers beautysleep in our big heap of leaves.
Det var allt för i dag tror jag , ha det bra så länge!
That´s all for today , have a nice day and we´ll meet again I hope!
