Soft

Morran found a sunny spot.

Getting undressed for spring (top from Nygårds Anna). Why didn't I iron the skirt before taking this photo!?

A fun table from Koivisto.

Akvarellmuseet

Today Sandra and I went to see the children book illustration exhibition at the Akvarellmuseum. (Sandra has more links) The illustrations on the last photo here is from an Eva Lindström book. I like her illustrations a lot.

Lines&shapes

Lovely rings from K-shop.

Oh, I almost forgot - Bibbi is showing how to make the (Kolam) pattern she has on her floor.

Good morning monday

It's been a good weekend, a real weekend. Pretty slow. This week starts with sunshine + I saw a V of returning geese's (don't know what you call that)

Emily Barletta is doing the free crochet thing.
Corey Arnold, photography.

Collaboration work in progress

More sneak peeks from my collaboration with Karin. This is so much fun! It will be ready for our show, in her new shop/gallery - Manos, 24 april -7 june. I'll show you more pictures on the way.

One good thing about beeing sick and in bed is that you appreciate taking a walk, drinking a cup of coffee - all the normal things you do but can't at the moment. Unfortunately it doesn't last long ;) But today, at least, I'm thankful for beeing able to take a walk and buy a nice loaf of bread and an apple.

I would like to try this, freeform knitting and crochet.

When you don't want the floppyness of a scarf.

Look at Rob Ryan latest screenprints!

Have a slow weekend.

Anything but white

Paying Bibbi a visit. Her home is full of the most beautiful things (and colour), and so is her blog.

Meshes of the afternoon, by Maya Deren and Alexander Hamid. This film has the same "tone" as Bibbi's latest work, some how. Maya Deren must be one of the most beautiful women ever.

Spring colours

Spring is coming closer! I feel much better :)

Night

I have trouble sleeping. I guess I'm not moving enough at day time. A nightly visit from the Nightmorr, helps a little bit. I hope I will fall a sleep soon and start dreaming.

Puh!

We are here, still in bed.

one grey day

I think I'm getting the flue, I'm cold but my cheeks are glowing. I'm still hoping for a normal cold. Morran is happy to have someone to sleep with though.

Kerstin has started a week of textile pattern over at her blog.

Since it was hard working today and I still can't leave the computer ;) I found a couple of photo's to share. Beautiful guy in hat - Annalyn, 9 - ten little rabbits.

Bring me my breakfast - bring me my break fast

Can we dance?

The yellow Can we dance has sold out! There is still a few of this one left (scroll down).

Mr Black and Madame Ochre is parts or my collaboration with Karin, work in progress. Very exciting :)

The mailman brought me one of these the other day, thank you Angela!

Madame Ochre

Arabic numbers and Roman letters

Do chão e da parede. Bibbi, I think you'll like this. Portuguese wall and floor tiles, Rosa have photographed a lot of them. And here's another link.

Shapes and patterns

I've been to Italy many times. I like Italy and I like the italian people and their language. They have always been nice, and they don't care that I can't speak the language. I've visited Rome twice before this trip, but that was a long time ago, back-packing without any money. I'm not a historical interested person, I guess I don't have enough knowledge. But when you are in Rome there is no escape, you can't help asking your self questions about how it was - back then. Even B.C (before Christ). What were we doing in Sweden at the same time... (Iron age). No wonder why their food and coffee is so good, they had so long time to make it perfect.

My favorite building in Rome is definately Pantheon, 120 B.C (last photo). It is something about it that I just love. The only light source is from this open hole it the top, not only light but rain comes through the hole. Could you imaging standing there one of the rare days with snow coming down. Pantheon was originally built as a temple to "all the gods" of Ancient Rome. Here's some photo's of Pantheon.
