Off!

Last night my computer crashed! I will take it to a computer doctor tomorrow but I don´t have much hope to get it back anytime soon.
I will be posting randomly when I get a chance and will be back as a "fulltime" blogger at the end of July ---------------------

What was I thinking?! Ofcourse she needs a petterned dress!

I just watched Charlie Kaufmans "Synecdoche, New York ". I think his movies are so beautiful and strange and parts of them I don´t understand, and the strangest thing about that is that it really doesn´t matter that I don´t understand, cause in the end all the pieces come together and :It touched me, deep.

" I know how to do it now. There are nearly thirteen million people in the world. None of those people is an extra. They're all the leads of their own stories. They have to be given their due."

Weekword:surprise

Sandra picked "surprise" as this weeks weekword, I played around with my wacom, still trying to figure out how to draw with it. This was fun, I´m starting to enjoy it:)

Other participants this week are: anairam, alexandra, fruenswerk, aris, aimee and esti .

Took a swim!

We have the best weather right now. Sun, sun, sun! Today me, Kristin and Pernilla went here! I´ll be back with my weekword interpretation later this weekend!

Potholders

Wonderful presents from very proud kids!

same, but different same

Can´t decide if I should work in color or black/white with my newest pattern. What do you think?

Drawing in progress

Cought my son after drawing on my drawing. His explaination: But Mum, it was just black and just a little spot...!

Pippi Longstocking

Här kommer Pippi Långstrump!

Playing

Playing with duplo is great fun. In this house alot of different people live, according to my kids. In the last photo u can se Tintins room and the zebra watching him while he sleeeps is his aunt(!)

Weekword

Jenna came up with this weeks weekword: silence. I´m presenting the opposite! Other participants this week are: anairam, nathalie et cetera, alexandra, fruenswerk, aris, aimee, Sandra, trinsch, and kristi.

Today it´s midsummer eve, last year we celebrated like this, and this. I´m working this year so I´m soon off to work!

I spent the evening going through the kids cloths and put them out for auction at tradera. I feel sad and happy at the same time: nice to get some space and I can´t belive they can´t wear these cloths any more. They have become so big!

To visit the auction, go here!

For the love of strawberries!

Today we had a small midsummer celebration:)
cause I´m working the whole weekend:(

Kalhyggen

I can´t belive what they are doing to the forest, and most of all: why?
After seeing alot of cut forest, kalhyggen, in värmland something is growing in my sketchbook.

Big dogs, small people

Kind of a dog theme on this blog this week...

Weekword

Esti decided on "family" as this weeks weekword. For me family is love without limits, people that are in my family I love, no matter what.
Other "weekworders" this week are: anairam, nathalie et cetera, alexandra, fruenswerk, aris, aimee, jenna, trinsch, and kristi.

Slow walking!

One kid with grandmother, the other with grandfather. Just me and the dog strolling to the most beautiful and peaceful place on earth, my grandparents summerhouse!

Rainy wednesday

It´s raining outside. I was hoping for fleamarkets and sunshine during this week, instead it looks as if it will be drawing for me and colorbooks for the kids. But most important is ofcourse that we spend time with eachother:)

Värmland

I decided to leave gothenburg for a week and go to Värmland, to visit my parents and grandparents. We took the train, just me and the kids. I must say the journey went better then expected... I was prepared for antiklimax and ended up with two sleepers!

Relalalaxa

Today: nice weather, nice friends. Barbecuing and looking for bugs!

weekword: scales

Thereza came up with the great word "scales" for the weekword game. My idea was to work with different scales of colors, but my drawing isn´t finished yet...
Other participants this week are: esti, anairam, nathalie et cetera, alexandra, fruenswerk, aris, aimee, jenna, trinsch, kristi, sandra , julia, valentina and marie-louise.

I feel good

I havn´t been so pleased with the result of the hanging at the Röhsska museum and it´s been bugging me alot. We, the students, couldn´t hang our stuff ourself cause the museum was curating and also hanging the exhibition. I managed to slip through the rules and hung my butterflies on the wall (with help from kristin), then the museum promised to put up my posters and place my rug on the floor. Then my posters ended up glued on a board, leaning against the wall, and the rug was rejected...

I felt that all my work to try to make EVERYTHING perfect was just waisted:(

This morning I finally got into the museum and got help to hang the posters on the wall aswell, and now I feel better. Not great, but good!

Tomorrow it´s my last day at school, ever.
