passion for ........

old barns is growing on me.

I am saving up for a Barn-project.......

sold my car today

and while washing the rubber carpets before handing the car over, I got the idea to
keep a memory. I rubbed this lovely pattern off the carpets. will use it somewhere
and remember my nice little car.

a

winter still

.....but spring is in the winter in March.

We have som many kinds of winter in Sweden. 

Now its spring in the air, the light and the sun is shining 

bright ant strong, yet the snow is all around and white and soft.

Siing now is heaven and days gets longer every day.

more books

I do love books. Old books especially!

These books I saw on a market in an italian town called

Ascoli. 

Want to go back!!!!!

note-books

I have had a session in my studio making notebooks. I made them small, I plan to sell them

on the market and it must be affordable to buy. I had fun.

These are just a few that looked nice together.

Total obsession with books for me right now!

Everybody gets happy in their own way!!!!

my home town church

this is the white wooden church in the small town in Lapland where I was born.

I am very fond of this church, it reminds me of a cupcake. 

Sweden - USA

i am the proud owner of this postcard, sent to me from my friend John. it is a collaboration between us.

I took the photo, a swedish barn, and John collaged it and made it a little piece of art.

He also used pieces of my fabric scraps I sent him. So wonderful that we can work and exchange material and ideas and make it something new.

More will follow in the future............

snailmail

These fabrics (and others) were sent to me by my new cyberfriend John, from far far away. A fell for
the above striped one with laponian colours (especially the red/yellow one). Thank you John!
It´s fantastic to swap fabric across the globe and to find that some fabrics we have in common. In a way, american quiltfabric are the most common thing even in Sweden, but still!
The little red house can be part of our upcoming barnproject?
making friends all over the world is a special gift to me when quite isolated in the wintertime.
Alone but still in the middle of the creative universe!!!!!!

summer in the studio

this is lying om my work table among many other things. I start something out of lust and I know that

one day I know exactly where it belongs!

Good Morning

Good morning !

We have a wonderful spring morning here.

A day for skiing

Vasaloppet/the Worlds longest skicompetition

this is to show you the worlds longest ski competition, 90 km. And here you can se what it looks like when 16.000 skiers begins their long way to goal. The fastest ones does it in ca 4 hours but most of the skiers need between 7-10 hours skiing. Thats a long time to be on skis, if you ask me.

but I enjoy watching the start on tele and I love the look of so many people going in the same direction.

more like ants. 

nature

we had a storm the other day. the trees were bending down but they are very stubborn

and used to this harsh wind on the mountains. but the days after the storm there are twigs

everywhere on the snow. I found this!
