Dinner + breakfast

Dinner outside on the balcony and early breakfast in our sunny kitchen. Nice things to do on hot summerdays!

We're going to Zürich on Friday and staying for a week! ! ! I'm so happy :)

The place

Here are the pictures from our weekend at the summercottage. My Grandmother has been decorated the whole place and it's a mix of wird colours, but I like it:) Without electricity or water it feels so primitive but it gives the right summercottage-feelings, COZY!

Enjoy your last days of July!

Family weekend

I spent the whole weekend with my family and at our summerplace, nice:) I'll show some pictures tomorrow Monday..

Goodnight!

Studiotalk

cars on the yard next to the studio

I had a first meeting with my mentor today in the studio and it went really good I think! We talked about my upcoming show (in January, approaching very fast..) and also a bit about my final exam work next spring. Phew, so much to do!

I haven't showed you much of my work and I even don't have a website/portfolio (coming hopefully soon). A lot of other things have been going on this year!
But I promise you and myself that I'll start producing more art and show it more often on the blog:)

Silence

The view from the bridge I biked over this morning. It has been a beautiful hot day!

Some of you wanted the recipe for the olivebread! It's a very simple one, here it goes:

2 big olivebreads

50g yeast
5 dl warm water
1 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons honey or syrup
2 dl graham flour
11 dl bread flour
chopped or whole olives, green or black

Mix the yeast with a bit of water in a bowl. Add oil, salt, honey or syrup, olives, flour and the rest of the warm water.

Knead the dough on a floured board. Let rise about 1 hour, until it doubles in size. Heat oven to 225°C.

Round the dough on kneading board, do not knead! Separate it gently into 2 pieces.

Let it stand for another 15 minutes, spray it with water or oliveoil and dust it with flour. Then bake it for 20 minutes. Finished!

Olive

It's nice to be off on sunny days! The beginning of the day I spent with my mum and sisters, after that I went to the studio. When I came home I decided that from now on I'm going to bake my own bread (at least try to).
I tried out olivebread and I'm quite pleased with the result so I think I will continue make my own as often as I can.

+ I'm SO HAPPY that I won Kristis giveaway, I can't almost believe it! thank you!

Summertime

I wish to have more weekends like last one! We had a great time with friends.

Today was a really warm day and it looks like the weather is going to stay warm and sunny for the rest of the week!!! Hope you had a nice Monday:)

Happy Midsummer!

I'm going to my friends summerplace over the weekend, see you on Monday!

Have a great weekend!

Homemade parathas with hummus= so good!

I changed the picture size again, they were anyway a little too big;) I still have some more changes to do here on the blog but I think I'll do that another day...
Now, Goodnight!

Rain rain rain

It's raining a lot today..

Finally I know a way to make my photos bigger thanks to Elisabeth from Fine little day:)
I just wonder if they're TOO big now..

Very strange weather today, raining on one side of the house but not on the other, sunshine and then rain again..
We had dinner with my family in the afternoon, Sune was exploring the garden and eating grass. He loves to be outside now and then even if he is an indoor cat.

I hope you enjoyed your weekend! (Thank you for the movie tips;)

Danger Danger

My friend Jan organized DangerDanger party again on both Friday and Saturday, it was great and we danced and danced. Zebra and Snake performed on Saturday, they were really good!
A shame that the place was far from crowded:/

Pictures: A giraffe on a wall, zebra and snake, my friends feet, my friends talking, a corner of the dancefloor

Baby crow

Poor little thing! The baby crow just sat there under the tree and looked a bit confused, I hope it finds it's way home.

We were talking about movies today, there are so many I want to see. What good movie did you see lately?

My voice is almost back:)
Today was a grey and rainy day. Brr, last weekend was really freezing! Where is the summer-warmth!

I had thought I would be in the studio all week but nope, other urgent things came up and I've been assisting for an installation which must be completed on Saturday, I'm not doing much more than sewing a lot but it's fun:)

Yesterday was Rasmus 28th birthday and we celebrated it with good food and wine!

Söndag

We went to eat sushi at our friends place yesterday and it was such a nice evening! Mmm how I like sushi:)
But in the end I lost my voice and today it's still gone. I maybe should have stayed at home anyway.

I made a rhubarb pie today but it didn't taste good:( I was lazy enough and bought finished dough..next time I'm doing my own.
I took the last picture a few minutes ago and it shows how dirty our windows are, we should defenitely clean them soon!

Goodnight!

Stormy weather

My throat feels much better today, thanks to a lot of hot tea with honey and lemon.

The weather is really awful, grey and stormy..and I should continue to write on some schoolwork essays about gender perspective, but I allow myself to go out for lunch first!
