Peeping friday
A pathetic refrigerator. Full of things but not much useful. The man on the top shelf - greek yoghurt, smör - butter, the dark bottle with red label - St Peter vinter ale. In the big jar there is red currant marmalade that I made this summer, but I didn't have any other jar...

Peeping friday - closet
I know I should think about the colours when I shop, but
that is so hard when you see something you like. And then it doesn't match
with anything ;) It's very narrow where the closet is, hard to get a good
picture.
Take a look at Kelly's
(Hoping for happy accidents), Kerstin's
(Mecozy), Stephanie's
(Little birds), and Ana's
(Papéis por todo o lado) closet.

thread
We brought an illustration to transform into textile/embroidery. This is my "Sorrow" print.
This is a textile doodle. I had no idea where it would end. It's like clouds in the top (little hard to see here). The technique fits my pictures very well, I think. But it's soo time consuming! But nice. It's something about sewing, how you move your arm, that I like a lot. A feeling of connection to people (women) sewing for decades. Embroidery used for illustrations. Finish textile artist Silja Puranen. Laura McCafferty.
Some embroidery stitch instruction sites - Seed stitch, Step by step, Stitch, stitches for crazy quilts.
Beauty from Karin - the espresso cup has no name jet (espresso kåsa), Signe tealight holder. It was so great to meet Karin again. I like it when internet gets (even more) real, and it's even nicer when the reality fits you so well (swell :). An embroidery link from Karin.

I'm going to Stockholm for a three day workshop "Embroidery as illustration technic" I'm really looking forward to it. Morran has to stay at home (that's why she looks sad). When you talk about emroidery - Jenny Hart.
I'm going to meet Karin again, another thing I'm looking forward to.

Sigur Rós
One of the best concerts ever! The Icelandic band Sigur Ros in Gothenburg. It's like nature in all its beauty and brutality turned into music. If you get the chance to see them - take it. Icelandic female string quartet Amina was the starters, they also play with Sigur Ros.
Creature Comfort's found this christmas store, take a look at this table :D, this metal mistletoe is pretty though.
Ticky Tacky's got a wonderful chest of drawers.
