I Mad Men'd myself

Not bad :) Try it yourself.

I changed the blog header. Will do for now.

Powerful. Big Mama did the original version of Hound Dog and she is rockin it big time!

Amazing, in every way

Last week I

walked on this bridge, in Rochester

made homemade pizza with loads of garlic, mozzarella, olives, sundried tomatoes, onion, sweetcorn and rocket/watercress on top. mm.

crocheted a hat for Nils

wrapped it up with the body suits and sent it off to Sweden

re-arranged a massive bunch of 10 pence (!) flowers

thought about buying new tulips

baked some semlor, mmm! (recipe in Swedish)

started taking down the Christmas fairly lights but left it half way through

waited at a train station with a large coffee

went on a train journey with Big Mama Thornton

did some pages in a travelling art journal, more info here, I based my bit on the fantastic lyrics of Nina Simone's Ain't got no/I got life

It's time again!

I made some rubber stamps last week. Today I printed some baby bodysuits for my brothers brand new boy, Nils. (Psst, don't tell him)

Stripey nights and pink days

It's cold. Cold as in nightgown, socks, duvet plus blankets. I got three, nighties, all happen to be stripey - the purple one used to belong to my beloved and much missed grandmother, the others are from Kappahl and Marimekko.

The rosary on the wall once belonged to an Italian big mama, that cooked great food and had big flowery dresses. Or so I'd like to think at least. It's from a flea-market in Rome. There is something very special about rosary's - belief, love, dedication, calmness...

Maybe it will reflect some of it on my life, so it sits next to the bed. And tulips. My favourite flower. The smell, the beauty, the simplicity, the sound. And the promise of spring.

I dyed my hair today

It is very very red.

Late night snow

Sunday morning, 03.30, after a perfect night out.

Ps. Did I tell you

that I've got a new studio? It looks a bit like this around there.

Oh deer, it's weekend again!

Remember this guy. He went from being silvery grey & pink to lovely sky-blue over the Christmas period. I forgot how much fun spray paint is!

Have a great weekend !

Lady Voice!

I am not a fan of her disco pop, but check this out, what a voice. And the piano, what a fantastic combination. I wish she did more of this loveliness.

I can't get enough of this song

Hello 2010

Let's hope this new year will be a bit like this piece of street art - poetic, beautiful, full of colour & love.
