paper ´n pizza

Obsessed with pizza and cutting papers these days. Could be worse. Could be the opposite. 

Semla

 

Fettisdag yesterday. Lovely Swedish traditional pastry

with cardamom bun, whipped cream and marzipan.  

Today a half is enough. Semlor ftw.

Hey waffel day

January

Christmas tree out - flowers in
Celebrating january with some white tulips. 

The light is coming back - yay!

Nice floor

I want this floor.

Barbie Cake

Last weekends biggest event - except from the workshop - birthday party with treasurehunt. I do however think Barbie looks a little anxious and strikes a warriorpose. 

Water

Lemonade

It is the berry season and my mother in law came around with this monstermachine for making saft = lemonade. It proved to be quite handy and I looked just like the woman in the folder making it, happy and homemade with a frizzy fringe ... no, actually my husband cooked all of it 

and used like 5 kilos of sugar. Sweet. 

Vacation

See you in August!

Opening flowers

The opening yesterday at Sigtunastiftelsen was successful and I am happy it´s over. Now my house is like a pretty flowershop and I love it.

Pine

My sister came home from Argentina with a pinecone. Guess which one is swedish?

Brilliant Book Solution

Saw this great stair-cover-solution in Oslo. Norwegians are smart! Such a great way to use books. I will definately have one of these in my future library ... any year now. 

Orange love

As unpacking the groceries, I found these loving carrots in my bag. They made my day!

Oslo Opera Interior

Just some pics from the arty inside of the Opera house. Wish I could have photographed the golden bathrooms but it was too dark, darn. 

Queenfish

 

Went to my sweet sisters concert the other night. People say we look alike and that sure is a compliment! Very musical talented she played dreamy fairytale like music that make me very inspired. One day we will make a puppet theater together ... any year now... until then please visit Ewa Wikström. Enjoy. 

Colour Wednesday

My girls happy morning pink socks with spanish lady bug shoes and pyjamapants. Love the combo!

Ingela P

My boy got these superpretty creatures for Christmas. The animals are actually a Babuschka - like one of those russian dolls where you can put one inside the other. Anyhow, they are designed by a favourite illustrator Ingela P Arrenius.  See and weep. 

Pretty italian candy

Sam stone

The other day I was taking down a beautiful felted piece by Tina Calén. We have exposed it for some time in the garden where I work and it´s been lovely seeing people circle around it to figure out what it says ... the final words are "It´s amazing what curiousity can make people do". 

Anyway, as I was taking it down I discovered a little stone at the foot of the pillar. A mini stone that said Sam. On the backside a web address was found and when I entered I realized that this was no ordinary stone. Sam was killed in an accident some years ago and to remember him and spread love his parents started creating these stones and handing them out or just placing the stones wherever. If you find a Samstone, pause and think of the love that secretly has been passed on to you. You can keep the stone, give it to someone who you think need it or just place it somewhere for someone else to be found. I feel blessed having found this stone as I realized just three stones has been noticed in Sweden. 

What a beautiful idea - people are great. 

Happy valentines!
