Messy!

Our home is nothing but chaos these days. We have just switched rooms between the bedroom and the livingroom and alot of stuff need a new place. And we are painting in the corridor at the same time. The cat is still here, can´t decide what to do. Yesterday I decided he needed to go back, this morning I couldn´t make the call.

Hajen!

Last friday we picked up this lovley Devon Rex kitten. We call him Hajen, that mean shark in english. I have always been alergic to cats but had high hopes cause Devon Rex is known to fit alergic people. Past days I am sad to say that I have developed all the allergy sympthoms, including asthma. I had to decide today that the cat has to go back to the breeder and I AM SO SAD! He is such lovley little thing, he has a fantastic social ability and he is great with the kids. And the kids love him. This evening little V whispered into his big ear that she loves him. It just breaks my heart that we have to give him up.

Grand finale!

So much on my to-do list right now, so silent here at the blog.  Just had to stop by and show you what todays hanging looks like, my public comission is done. I can´t reflect yet, but I´ll be back:)

What are you up to mum?

There are small people watching every step I take!

Done?

Julform on my table, drawing a kitchencloth. There will be a companion that is striped like a candycane. Candycanes are this years theme and I am so happy about that!

This day!

Heavy rain outside, warm light inside.

Right now!

On my lighttable right now, Julforms teatowel. Couldn´t stick to the old pattern and now I have about two working days to makes this look great... The angel to the left is just dreadful, I can´t get her to look like an angel:(

Delivery from Formpress

Last piece of the comission arrived today, the trays. Everything has a diffretn scale in this project, the trays, then pillowcases and the different curtains.

Public comission: last check.

At the construction sight making sure every measurment is right. Next week it´s time deliver everything!

Painkillercoctail!

My upper chest is out of order, I don´t know whats going on but it sure hurts alot. Bought alot of magazines and some painkillers and now all I need is time to relax. Perhapas on monday?

Pillowcases!

Yesterday the pillowcases arrived (from tobex) and in the studio Kristin is working really hard with the curtains, it´s printed on slippery velvet so it´s not just not to sew and expect it to be done. No, it´s moving, moving again then  again a little bit wrong and then finally perfect. Thank you kristin, for handling me going crazy and sticking to the plan! And for being my friend.

Some days later.

My ambition was to blog about the bookfair on saturday, somehow something happend (we are moving our bedroom into our livingroom and buildt 3 new wardrobes) and now it´s tuesday, the days are just flying away.

First fair find, this book, "Most beloved sister" by Astrid Lindgren, illustrated by Hans Arnold. What a beauty!

Jan Lööf

I visited Jan Lööfs exhibition at the art museum yesterday, well worth visiting! I liked his early work the best, it´s very clever and filled with interesting details. His film about "skrot Nisse" is absolutely fantastic, both the making of it, the sets (!) and the dolls and all the details... and the story!

A cuple of hectic days have passed. Yesterday I became a student again, if only for one semester. I will be taking a course in making a childrens book and I am really exited. Today I visited Göteborg book fair and Now I am so filled with inspiration so all I can do is go to sleep! I will blog about the fair tomorrow!
Enjoy your friday!

My kitchen table

Perhaps I should start arranging my home as an exhibition, chaos looks so much nicer when being arranged into nice stileben.
