Home sweet home!

Home again! Christmas is over and new years eve is coming up. We decided to just have a family night, play games and eat whatever the kids prefer.
Today we managed to drive from Värmland without the christmas gifts, the kids are devestated! Can´t belive how distracted by other things we must have been to foget to pack them!

Food, snow and family

Lots of snow and lots of food. Bottom image, me and my litttle brother.

Just taking it slow

Snowy roads in värmland, we are moving around slowly, taking it easy.

Decorating the christmas tree

We arrived safely after many hours in the car, the swedish weather/roads are snowy and chaos.
Wishing you all a merry christmas, see you in a cuple of days!

Left overs from yesterday

Tomorrow off to Värmland, today cleaning so that we will come back to a tidy and clean home!

Pre christmas

Today we celebrated with J´s parents since we are going to Värmland on thursday. I think mini rodini is by far the best swedish children brand (cloths) and the kids got some cloths and also very nice tattoos.

In my head

 

In my head I am already on christmas vacation. 

On thursday we are going to värmland. My grandmother has been sick this autumn and yesterday when we spoke on the phone I was able to have a real conversation with her for the first time in months. I´m scared that she might slip into non-conversation again before I get there, and most of al I am afraid of loosing her.

From JULFORM

My idea was to blog this sunday evening, but what can I say, so much to get done before christmas! The market was great. So much fun! I had also planned to but my new trays in my shop, togather with my new prints. Perhaps I´ll manage to get that done tomorrow.

Preparations, Julform

Days filled wth preprations! Go to JULFORMS blog to listen to Elisabeth being interwied by the radio!

Almost done

The poster outside Röhsska museum!

Tape 3

JULFORMS tape arrived yesterday. I´m happy with the result, in the future I will make more tape at tejptryck.se.

Buisy days!

Last week according to my camera!

Flyer!

One week from now everything is over! This will be a pretty hectic week, filled with JULFORM!

Happy Cissi

Today I had my presentation for lokalförsörjningsförvaltningen and it´s now decided that I will draw and produce 3 different curtains, trays and pillows for a pre-school that they are building here in Gothenburg. The project will run until august 2011 and I will sure keep u posted!

Alexandra is doing a public comission aswell, at another school, and she also had her presentation this morning!

Poster

Today: working with the JULFORM poster, almost done.

Tape2

The tape is done. My man asked me why I´m always working with the knife against my throat. I said that it´s just now that it is like that. He said no, it has always been like that and it will never change. I guess it´s true, my ideas often land in a very late state of the process, even though I try to work at once when I get a task, everything that comes out is crap and at the end it wraps up and I get the flow.
How is it when you work, do you plan and work and have time to spend at the end, or is it like me, always done 5 minutes before deadline?

Enjoy your weekend!

Tape1

 

I am working on a pattern for a tape that will be used at Julform (go over to the julform sight and check out all the nice things that will be sold at the 10-12 of december, look under deltagare). It´s a dream project ( I love tape!) but shit, it´s short of time!

Pippi Longstocking

Since our visit to Stockholm she likes Pippi Longstocking again. She even painted her face to get freckles. Considering how she looks at these photos I´m not so sure that she thinks Pippis is a sweet little girl...
One and a half year ago she looked like this in her constume.

Time flies when your having fun!

Today I had a meeting with one of the two artists that recommended me to sketch for a public comissioned art piece at a pre-school here in Gothenburg (It´s supposed to be done in august next year). Today was like a pre-presentation before the final presentation at the third of december. The meeting was interesting and fun, I realised that I had missed the situations when I can talk with other artists about my projects. It is such a great moment when someone really looks at your stuff and tells you what they actually thinks about it!  (I talk alot with my friends but it´s different to talk with someone that you don´t know.) I also realised that there sure is alot to get done before the final presentation and even more to think about. It´s a bit scary. I do hope I manage to pull this off so that I will get the comission!

Today in the studio, me drawing santas for Julforms poster, Karin helping me building a model for my presentation the third.
