whoopee!!!

I absolutely love The Magnetic Fields and now they will play in Gothenburg and finally I got a ticket for the concert and finally I have the opportunity to see them live.

I have the 69 love songs at repeat when I’m working with my jewellery and I get inspired by all the great lyrics.

a found squirrel...

By mail from my mother, she had found a squirrel at the flea market that she think I can use in my jewellery or just keep in my apartment, first I thought it look like a rabbit…

I have seahorses and squirrels as my totem and collect this animal.


some new ideas...

Things that will be necklaces, pendants or other things in the end… I am working with new thoughts and ideas right now.


the kott-Jesus or pinecone Jesus...

Kott-Jesus… or the Jesus Christ made out of a pinecone, one of my colleges Frida made this when we had Easter pottering at Maundy Thursday, I love it and I got it, even if I go on about that I want it… From now on the kott-Jesus/pinecone Jesus lives in my kitchen plant.

this makes me think and act...

This is something that irritated me and makes my wonder… I saw this yoga tea barcode and thought it was innovative, then I saw the same idea at the chips bag, and now I’m able to not buy the OLW chips anymore because of their barcode image, I thought it was and is a “bad” sign who appeal to the straight normative family with mother, father and child, I think it’s some much more to be a family or a establishment that this is and old approach that I thought was not used these days 2012. I not buying this kind of sign s or ideas… I don’t think this is okay and may be some of you think I’m a little bite over reacting about this, but NO I’m not, if we stop thinking and react about things that make seems harmless, but there are not, this is the kind of thinks we need to help each other with, so we one day can have a more or less equal society.




ops, the electric handmixer exploded…

Orust…

My Easter with a friend in her summerhouse at the countryside, a nice weekend… it started with sun and ends up with rain… we made nice and delicious dinners, we drink some good drinks and we walk and took the car in the surroundings, doing crossword, aquarelle painting and knitting…

It ´s amazing to see and take part of the nature and the right of common that we have here in Sweden, we have to be wear of it and take care.

At Good Friday I run into two old friends and they made my day, I have been a little bite under the ice for some reasons that I can tell you all about, more that it has affect my life and I have felt low for awhile.
Thank you both for a good time and a nice chat and a coffee break a cold and rainy day.
It’s good to know that I have friends that care and take their time, it heat up my heart and soul.



A reflection I did this Eastern weekend at the west cost of Sweden is that the houses are mostly white, in my old hood on the east cost of Sweden the houses are mostly Falu red.

It’s always interesting to discover new things about my own country, to see things from another perspective or angle.

The bird house that is made as a phone booth, may be it’s ringdove living there?!

2nd April 1966… Lena + Dan…

Congratulation!

I love you and I know that I “choose” the right parents… You have always been a good support of my ideas and things that I have done or have want to do. You have always seen the possibilities in my ideas and the longer time goes you understand me better then I do by myself or about myself. You are my rocks!

Today my parents celebrate their 46 wedding anniversary.
