Tree kids

.....................................................................................................................................

They played in their new build tree house "The rescue club" for hours, despite chilly windy weather. One of them even ate her breakfast in it, sat there til her lips were blue of cold. Made me think of one favorite book, Klätterbaronen (The Baron in the Trees) by Italo Calvinos. Topshot, a mobile pic, notice the strange color effects on the ground.

Activitys

.....................................................................................................................................

Plenty of time for drawing and crafting (a great thing about visiting my mother). Found these excellent textile chalks in a second hand store. Tomorrow – some shots from antique shops, vintage finds and the tree house.

Back again

Sandviken, land of contrasts, snow and ice outside, buzzing flies and a butterfly just woken from hibernation inside. Rediscovered my mobile phone camera (top shot) with this trip, Some more mobile phone pics tomorrow.

See you next week

Going to the north of Sweden a couple of days to visit flea markets, see my parents and more snow! Wish you all a great week end.

Judo girl

One girl and a dozen boys at my daughters training. Really proud of her.

Still snow in Slottsskogen

The kids discovered, when trowing snow on the frozen lake, it was making awesome sound effects. Me, myself had a moment discussing with the Moomintroll.

Friday

Had a really pleasnt evening yesterday with Sandra and Camilla, with good food, wine and chats. Today I´m spending the evening here in the sofa, very tired, but in good mood.

If you are in Stockholm you should go and see photgrapher Jon Bergmans exhibition at gallery Kleerup.

Recreation 2/Walking

Even if I really like my gloves that I got from Minja (black/white ones), I´m hoping to be able to leave them home soon.

Colorful acrylic on canvas by Kenji Hirata.

Recreation

Very, very slowly, but still – cleaning. Finding little treasures. These are parcels/wrappings from last year, and a glimpses of what was in them, from two creative ladies, Ah-Yi and Débora. More in the parcels? I´ll show you another day.

Slottskogen

The light is defently back in Sweden again, finally.

Inspiring work by illustrator Andreas Gavell-Mohlin, here.

In our home

Like my mobile from Flensted. Our Childrens Gorilla has the coolest one (Gentlemen), and Lisa Congdon, the one with most sissors.

Me, photographed by Otto last night. So alert and fresh, not.

Soon easter

Early in the morning, breakfast in bed (sofa).

England artists – Chris Kenny and Axel Antas

Clipping/cutting

Thank you so much for your encouraging comments yesterday, I really appreciate it :) It´s awesome to have a colloboration like this, with someone who lives in another part of the world. I maybe old fashioned but I still get impressed by such things. And of course it feels like a luxury to work with such a talanted person as Maria. Thank you again for all your hard work Maria!

Today – walking with Camilla (Morran had other things to do). So lovely to have the light back again, after long dark winter. Back home again, some clipping (or is it cutting it´s called?), inspired by this. Clipping/cutting is such nice therapy.

Prints

Sunshine and snow outside today, and prints in the mail from my colloboration with Mav, such a nice day. See more about our colloboration at port2port.

Shiny Squirrel presents new artists/designers for March

Marianne Hallberg

She´s such a cool ceramics artist, Marianne Hallberg. Her work is unique, personal and a big inspiration source to me. I love her thin stoneware, painted in white and cobalt blue naive lines. A couple of months ago I had the opportunity to visit her studio , see more photos here.

Walls

Have had a good time with my sister who´s been here a couple of days.

Have you seen this nice blog, Lena Sjöberg?
Rainy day project

Vintage finds

Spoons and this sweet "mästerkatten i stövlar" cat in the boots (or what he is called in english) carpetlike chair thing.
