Stockholm - Sweden

Claude Monet

Claude Monet (1840-1926)

Finest Art Exhibition at Moderna Museet, Stockholm right now -I'll be there!!

"J. M. W. Turner (1775-1851), Claude Monet (1840-1926) and Cy Twombly (1928-2011) are three of the greatest painters of the last 150 years. This groundbreaking exhibition focuses on their later work, examining not only the art historical links and affinities between them but also the common characteristics of and motivations underlying their late style."

Höst / Fall

Another beautiful walk in the nature!
This area at Djurgården, Stockholm is so nice, and the perfect place for recreation!

Weekend by the sea / Skärgårdshelg

Oh, yes -it's very beautiful and relaxing near the sea: simple and plain, the nature a bit barren, seagulls in the fresh air, the calm water (and it's still so 'warm' you can take a swim!): Me like!
What's your plans for next weekend?

Beautiful sky!

Just another wonderful walk in the capital of Sweden;

today in Stockholm there are plenty of nice clouds in the sky!
Can you ever get enough of beautiful skies ?!

Ännu en fin promenad i Sveriges huvudstad;

idag bjuder Stockholm på underbart fina moln från en blå himmel med solsken..

Kan man någonsin få nog av vackra himlar ?!

Custom Order-Part 1! / Personlig beställning-Del1

Wow -Now I really have to tell the story:
Last year July 25, I got this fantastic request about a Custom Order to my Etsy-shop:

* We are officially placing the order for 100 red flowers with tiffany blue ribbon*

We were on our way on holiday, but I simply made some calculations, rushed throuh every yarn- and supply-shop in Stockholm City.
I bought red yarn, tiffany blue ribbon and seadbeads..and I started to crochet.....
'My creative space' were wherever I went last summer: on the boat, in the summer-house, in the car
.to be continued


Nu bara måste jag berätta historien om de 100 Röda :
Förra året 25 Juni fick jag en fantastisk förfrågan om en Personlig Order från USA, via min Etsy-shop.
Vi var på väg på semester, så jag beräknade som hastigast åtgång för material, rusade igenom varenda garn- och handarbetsbutik i Stockholms City med en fart. Jag fick tag i 9 nystan rött garn, 5 rullar ljust turkosblå sidenband, seedbeads och sytråd...och började virka...
Beställningen löd:
* Härmed beställer vi officiellt en order på 100 röda virkade blommor med tiffany blå band*
'Mitt arbetsum' den sommarn blev varhelst jag befann mej: på sjön på båten, i stugan, i bilen..

Blåsippa /Blue Anemone

Spring is here, and the Blue Anemones are making the ground in the wood terriffic beautiful!

Nu är äntligen våren här, och underbara 'blåsippe-mattor' breder ut sig på marken i skogen!

Maritime museum in Stockholm /Sjöhistoriska museet

I love these maritime surroundings near the Maritime Museum in Stockholm!!
Soon there will be lots of yachs and boats in the water, and plenty of resting people on the lawns!

Jag gillar verkligen omgivningarna kring Sjöhistoriska museet i Stockholm. Snart nog är det fullt med båtar i kanalen, och pick-nickkorgar på gräsmattorna!

My Friend: Sara

Yes -it's still winter in Sweden -but it's getting more like spring! The days get lighter, and the pretty sun can almost warm your face a little bit!
My dear friend Sara is wearing a warm coat, a black cute hat with sparkling sequins and a great red scarf.

Still winter

Enjoy another beautiful winters day ..soon it's spring!!

Creative space: Yarn

*African Violets* is the cute name of this plant -Thanks OnePerfectDay!!

I went to the shopping mall..just to look. I suddenly recognized that new little shop: full of the most delightful yarn and sewing supplies! I couldn't resist to buy..but I have no idea what I'll make of it. This yarn is so soft, made of alpacka, and in very pretty colours! Do you have some things you just can't resist to buy?

Jag åkte till city..bara för att titta. Så fick jag syn på en alldeles ny liten butik, full av allehanda bedårande sybehör och garn. Jag kunde bara inte motstå att köpa ett par nystan av ett underbart garn i lite olika färger. Garnet är i alpacka och otroligt mjukt. Jag har ingen aning om vad det ska bli..Har du något som du bara inte kan motstå att handla?

Bohemian Rhapsody

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?

Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy (Poor boy)
I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
Little high, little low
Any way the wind blows
Doesn't really matter to me, to me

.....
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here

Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me

Any way the wind blows...

Lyrics:QUEEN Bohemian Rhapsody Lyrics

Blue moments

Really love these blue moments
When the sun plays in the trees
Making shadows at the white ground
Shadows and the landscape somehow gets blue!

De här 'Blå stunderna'
Så magiska
När solen leker mellan träden
Skuggor faller mot den vita marken
På ett ljuvligt sätt blir skuggor och omgivning blå!

I'll try to relax a bit, a few days now..take a small break from the gergeous pretty mosaics, and the fun 'Treasury-game' on Etsy. I will thank all my friends, those who feature me..soon it's 'pay-back-time' for me!!

Winter with Åsa

It's a clear and cold day in january, but my friend Åsa is not freezing this winter! She's wearing a cozy striped cap and lovely mittens (Lovikkavantar- gloves in traditional Swedish style) in grey, purple and white, all handmade by her self -and so pretty !


Åsa and Sara enjoys the view!
