Stefan Thunström and his monsters teddies...

Here is Stefan with my upcoming art buddy, that I decided to buy... "Funny hair cut".

My sister bought this fellow..."A funny bunny from Cherobyl"...

Stefan and my sister Jenni...

My newfound art friend dancing down the stairs on the way home with me to Gothenburg.

My sister and I were so lucky that we got a tour, meeting with Stefan in his studio up at Sidsjön in Sundsvall.

I had noticed Stephen Thunström monster teddies for a lot of years ago and always wanted one of those incredibly creative, interesting, humorous and very weird and a bit creepy creatures.

Now it was time, my sister got in touch with Stefan and we were so lucky that he had the time! What an honor to visit his studio and take note of all the monsters that he had there and hear him talk about his art. Both my sister and I were delighted when we end each selected a monster teddy bear which has become our main during the time we were and checked out...

Stefan told me that he will have an exhibition in Mölndal in May !!!
Mölndal is a neighboring municipality to Gothenburg and that was a huge bonus for me, then I can go and check all of these, or selected once again.

I must say that it was difficult to choose what I wanted all these incredible creatures, but I had put a financial ceiling for myself, and it was probably wise, otherwise I probably would have struck one or two more. I just love this sort of art that makes me amazed, happy and a little hesitant.

Here it is now. Maybe not the best spot... but...

two skiers...

Some children who made these outstanding skier.

silltårta, herring cake has become a tradition...

Very delicious!

not often, but sometimes...

Baking is not my thing, it takes far too long to wait for the good to be ready, but now in the Easter baked I still, because I was so hungry for the lemon mud cake, a lemon variation on chocolate mud cake.. .

At Easter, it was also The Feast of the Annunciation... = våffeldagen.

Vårfrudagen – Marie bebådelsedag – är en kyrklig högtid som historiskt sett också fått markera vårbrukets början, den 25 mars.. Enligt evangelierna fick jungfru Maria denna dag av ärkeängeln Gabriel veta att hon var havande. Numer förknippar vi denna dag med våfflor.

Alnö, the countryside of Sweden...

On Alnö the island I come from outside Sundsvall, I have a favorite way to take walks on. There it is quiet, it is long enough and it is really in the woods, sometimes you meet someone else who is out for a walk or maybe you see a moose or some deer, or an elf on a upside down facing bucket.

Sundsvall is 800 km from Gothenburg, on the east coast, the climate is a little different, it's much later up there than in southern Sweden and is significantly cool. S

senast lästa bok...

Väl värd att rekommendera!
Lite inblick i sitt egna och andras beteende och hur vi "skattar" vår och andras beteende.

ibland tror man att det är ok... att säga det "alla andra tycker"...

Easter is past, but I would like nevertheless to wish you all looking in here, continued fine fine spring time!

Here are some Easter pictures from this year ... Daffodils, willow and a good Easter bunny in chocolate that I got from a friend for travel sweets up to the north. And a lemon in the snow.

till slut så sitter det här på ett par brallor...

Jag har fått plats i en syjunta, väldigt otippat och väldigt kul.
Nu gör jag egna brallor med kamouflage dinosauries, kan det bli bättre?!
Knappast!

Kreativiteten kan ta sig olika uttryck, nu tycker jag det är intressant, spännande och kul att komponera mat, sy egna kläder (som jag tack och lov får viss proffshjälp med att genomföra, annars hade jag sytt åt pipsvängen för länge sedan eller rent av gett upp) och klippa och klistra ihop saker och ting... kommer nog fler poster med den sortens kreativitet later on.
