Deer & Ship

Deer and Ship in Telugu!

Indian alphabet

An alphabet poster I'm working on. Don't recognize the language? Well, it's Telugu of course! :)

Wallpaper detail

Here's a corner of a cusotm made walpaper I did today.

Pappa

And he rows and he rows his fishing boat. Away from the sea shore, away from the boatmen. He will row, he will row until he gets close to Knappen. His own little island no one wants to visit,  NO one wants to visit. They all say it’s too small. Too small they all say.  It takes 3 minutes to walk it, to walk all around the island.  This is where he brings, brings fishing rod, matches and salt. Once he brought a girlfriend. He will fish, he will fish, he will throw in the rod; watch it make rings on the water, all day long. He will make fire, he will spear his fish on a branch and he will grill it. Then he rows, then he rows his fishing boat. Back to the sea sore, back through the boatmen. He will row, he will row until he gets back home. His hands full of sea, his belly full of fish and his soul filled with peace.

Blossoms

Our plum tree is blossoming! Not quite the same as cherries, but close enough on a happy sunshiny day!

Folio

Working on updating the portfolio... and this obviously has to include a self portrait showing off my new imaginary dress. :)

Lilttle Sven

Little Sven lived in a little read house he built himself, deep in the woods. On Sundays he plaid the violin. In the end; it only had one string left, but he still plaid on his one-stringed violin. It’s still there; hanging on a hook on a newspaper clad wall. The only ones to play on Little Sven’s violin now are the wind and the spiders. And maybe a troll or two.

Happy Easter!

I told my son about the Swedish Ester traditions I grew up with. He didn't belive me. "Witches at Easter?! What? Flying to Blue Mountain to light bonfires?" "Yes! And all the children dress up as little witches to deliver easter cards to friends and family!" "Scary black witches with green faces?" "No! Not that kind of witch! More like a russian doll kind of witch, nice looking. Cute, with rosy cheaks." He couldn't quite grasp it... I might have to make a picture.

Mugs

A more inspiring photo of the new mugs. And a little "easterly" too" :)

Butterfly farm

Was reading about this butterfly farm in Belize and it reminded me of a christmas present that we had forgotten. The butterfly farm! We'll start there, and if it kicks off a huge interest in the 6 year old we'll go to Belize. Maybe.

Bird nest

Detail from the 1-20 counting poster for Isak.

Birdsong!

I can hear them all the time now! Chirping away all day long. Bliss!

Flower dreams...

This would cheer me up in the morning! I'd like this pattern on a dressing gown. Would make me jump out of bed!

Bugaloos

A slight obsession with bugs and flowers at the moment. I suppose it's from wishing spring to come...

Hello!

Must be getting warmer

It must be getting warmer because we have more bugs soming in to the house! Hurray! I suppose...

And another flower for you...

 

Flower mood continues...

Grass

Thought the blogs needed a bit of a spring clean and a little sprucing up!

Another flower for you!

Cards in Waterstones!

 

Two of the card designs I did for teNeues has been picked up by Waterstones. That's excellent news!

A Tulip for you

Tulip for you

A flower for you

Still there's not many signs of life in the garden. It's all mostly dead... But there are small green shoots coming up. Whatever they might be! They are very welcome.
