Green + pasta

We had a simple but nice Wednesday dinner, now we're going out for a drink with some friends.

Tomorrow is a day off!

Picnic & windmills

Today we had a long picnic in the park, wonderful weather.
Now I'm trying to make paper-windmills..don't know why but it's fun.
Movie night tonight! Oh how I love calm days like this :)


Hannah + Landon, check out their blog too!

Something from last week

'
These pictures are from last week. Artist in Residence, Inga Liljeström, made an a m a z i n g music/performance show together with some students from my school in an old theatre called Scala. Unfortunately my camera ran out of battery so I don't have any pictures from the show itself:( I hope somebody could put up a video-clip on youtube..

..And tonight we don't have any better to do than to watch the Eurovision Song Contest:))) Are you going to watch?

Sunny Friday

..and tortillas!

Hope you will all have a nice evening! I hope to be back here on the blog tomorrow :)

..and a more happy post

..about celebrating! On Friday Rasmus and his class presented their final exam work. He presented a mixed media anti-design-obejct called "The Irritator". Inside the box you can see a video but the closer you get to the box the more crazy sound it makes. He has built a theremin inside which changes the sound frequency by moving close to the antenna. (wish I had a better picture)

Yesterday it was Mother's Day. After work I went to hug my wonderful Mom and gave her a little gift! I think she had a pretty good day:) Hope all you Mothers out there had a lovely day yesterday!

A lot to do

Look at our desk at home...what a mess! I have had too much to do, no time for anything else except for work and schoolstuff.

I've got sad news. We're going to move out from our studio. For several reasons but to name one thing. The building is very old and there have been water leaks from the roof during the years. Some of us are starting to get allergic reactions of being there so that means it must be mold in there. Not very nice:( So we decided to move out immediately.
Luckily one of us, Mick, found us a new place quickly! It's a lot smaller and more expensive but also much more clean and tidy. We will start moving this week...moving and moving all the time!

Ugh, mold...even the word sounds nasty.

May

Photos from the past few days. We had a nice time with nice people, I wish I had more pictures to show you.
This week is going to be very busy but I hope I anyway will have time to blog one or two days!

Ginseng-lemon tea

Looks like today is going to be a beautiful day! Wonderful, because today we celebrate Valborg or Vappen as we normally say here:) So tonight we're going out for dinner and later we'll meet up with some friends.
I'm happy that I did not get the cold! Even if I still feel a bit like it's waiting to break out sooner or later..

Have a great Valborg and 1st. of May tomorrow, if you celebrate it! If not, then have a great day too!

Ps. My little sister introduced me this amazing cat, Maru ;)

Good food and good light

This afternoon/evening I had a veggie burger and a studio visit. I should spend more sunny evenings in my studio. These pictures doesn't show it right (blurry and overexposed..) but I guess you can imagine the nice light:)
The little fox heads are for a little project I'm hopefully going to do soon.

The pictures are now a bit bigger than before, I'm testing if it would look better or not! Hmm ok, maybe it doesn't look so good now because the pictures are so bad but hopefully next time.

Update!
I tried to make them bigger and it seemed like it worked but then the blog anyway cropped the images! Can anyone help me how to do it right? I'm sure it is just one little stupid thing that I missed..

Technical problems!

I was going to post pictures from my (boring & gray) day but suddenly something went wrong with the memorycard and it didn't work to transfer the photos to my computer:(

Anyway, I finally got my own camera back, it took too long! Been using Rasmus camera all the time now and got really used to it. But good to have my own back, now I just have to fix the memorycard.

The picture is from last week!

After the weekend

So many are sick right now, R got a cold yesterday and I'm afraid that I will get sick too..I'm eating vitamines and drinking healthy tea. Today I made a very spicy Indian Dal soup with lots of garlic and chili, so good and I hope it helps to keep the germs away.

Hope your weekend was nice!

Happy Friday!

Little Ebba and her longtime friend, Boris.

Firewood

We got this wonderful gift from Rasmus' parents! A firewood rack from Artek. It can also be used for stacking magazines.

At home

Sunny days like today are very much needed! I hope the rest of the week will stay the same.

Did I mention that we don't have a wardrobe yet? We will finally get one tomorrow!! F I N A L L Y. I'm getting crazy having all the clothes in bags & boxes..

Hope you had a good Monday!

From Russia with love

My boyfriend Rasmus had a gig in Moscow (!) yesterday and when he came back home today he gave me this litte blue Matryoshka doll:) He also took the pictures of the St. Basil's Cathedral, it looks so fairy tale-like! (gingerbread-house:)

Basil in 3 pots

I love basil and this year I'm growing it in three pots! In case one of them wouldn't make it.. Planning to plant them all together in a big pot.

I still haven't really had ANY inspiration to do my own art..again and again it's frustrating. I couldn't live without art or being able to do something creative but I hate the anxiety that it gives you sometimes.
But.. I feel like I'm slowly getting back on track, and it feel soooo good:)
Why always these ups & downs??

One more day off

Today- going to visit a new fleamarket in town! Later I'm hopefully going to my studio or work on something at home. I need to do something!
