sushi

here you go, Mette! our first attempt at making sushi. It was good, but the wasabi you buy in ordinary food
stores was too sweet I think. we made our rolls with big shrimps, cucumber, thinly sliced carrots and avocado.

Not the most beautiful picture. shaky hand and flash on.

somebody

"Historien om någon" by Åke Löfgren and Egin Möller-Nielsen (I adored this book when I was a child. I was a
bit afraid of the light, stiff and simple drawings but I read it anyway.)

scrambled eggs

short visit

visited c in his school and took a photo of this wall. The pictures look really nice together. I also found a fat
seal in Capricious.

we went home, made pasta and watched a couple of Shogun episodes.

afternoon light

laundry day. new bird. study. grey outside. I think I need a cup of tea (or a couple of them)

sleepy sunday

yesterday made us tired. we managed to take a walk into town to drink coffee at mitt andra hem and draw/read
about architecture.

Thanks everyone for the great sleeping-tips!

insomnia

I can't sleep. I tried to force myself but it did not work. And I read the last chapters on my book. Didn't work.
Warm milk - nope.

What do you do when you can't sleep? Do you accept it and do something else or do you just go to bed
and wait?

odds and ends

some outtakes from january. pelargonium, c's papers and tulips.

monday

School start today. I've never bought that expensive books before. these are just two of them.

Poster by Elisabeth Dunker

on my fridge

a puzzle by Eva Genberg, a postcard with deers, card from Tas-ka, smoking snake
from Berlin, ice-cream on wood by lines & shapes, a card by Lars Lerin and my name.

indoors

I have hardly been outside the apartment for a couple of days. I just go out and buy vegetables and fruits in
the evening, but it's too boring weather to take walks or stroll in the city. And I'm enjoying my last free days
before I go to school again on monday.


the bookmark-bird sat on my knee while I read Murakami's "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle"


I ate this year's first semla today. It was good, but it contained too much cream as usual.


little yellow monkey. my new pet.

last summer

I miss Blenda a lot. we took her in but could'nt keep her since she wanted to be outdoors.

tired of winter

how I miss summer. I'm already tired of this winter. It's not even a real winter. no snow, just rain
and cloudy days. indoors weather.

need some fika I guess.

doctor pressure

me christopher and björn had a small party with beer, cinnamons rolls and 80's music. c decided to dress in
neon colors.
Have a nice weekend!

penn penn

it's far away from perfect, but I don't think I'll try to make it better. just wanted to show you this.

grey tones

a grey/white morning in gothenburg. Found some color in C's pile of drawings. Woke up 12 (bad). Yesterday
we painted the walls in the livingroom white and received our first Panton lamp Topan!
I plan to stay inside, sit in the sofa and watch movies and not move an inch.

And thank you everyone for the comments on my "one year"-post!

one year!

My blog celebrates one year!

This blog has made me take a lot more pictures than I used too and I've met other
bloggers (som in real life too). I'm very thankful for this and looking forward to another
year of blogging. Thanks for all sweet comments!

paint

we spent the tuesday in our bedroom to paint the ugly yellow walls. It's clean and white now. I'm very satisfied
since the yellow color almost made me a bit sick in the morning.
I think we need some pictures on our walls now.

outer space

hello from h & c

self

no inspiration for anything. one of those dull days.

tired of myself.

slow sunday

Have no plans for today. I woke up and ate breakfast and now my head is empty of
ideas. should take a walk but it's so warm and cozy inside. Maybe I'll go to bed again
and read a good book.

Pom-pom guide

Start to cut two identical circles (thin cardboard) with smaller holes in it and place them on top of each other
as the image shows. I prefer small pom-poms and the diameter of mine is 5 cm.


choose a yarn you like (or 2 or 3) and start to roll it around the circle. You can attach the thread if you want to.
I use a crocheting hook (1,5 mm) to pull the thread through the hole, but you can also use a large needle.
To make this step quicker I double or thriple the thread.


When the thread is finished and you need more: just pull the new thread through the loop.


It is important to pull the threads tight to the circle, and when there is no hole left you simply cut of the thread
and cut the circle open on the edges.


separate the two carton pieces and tie another string close to the bottom. remove the cardboard and cut your
finished pom-pom the way you like it!


for Mette/ungt blod :)

two good things

perfect thing to do when I don't have any imagination but a lot of leftover yarn. don't know what to do with
them, though. suggestions?


too good. made fifteen of these and have to force myself to not enter the kitchen so I don't think of them.

circle and stripes

I'm starting 2009 with a grapefruit. Since I made and ate these yesterday I think I'll have to stay healthy for
the rest of the year.


last night in our kitchen. no, we did not go out and celebrate the new year. I think we're just too comfortable
at home in our slippers.
