My Favorite Eye Candy | Hey Girl
Basically we live in a culture where how little sleep we get is like a badge of honor that somehow shows our work ethic and dedication. But what it really shows is just a profound failure of self-respect. Because sleep affects every waking moment of our lives—our moods, our receptivity, our pleasantness, and our ability […]
Art Journal Peek: Hey Mr Bluebird in the Garden

Sketch II of my cat Smilla. A live drawing of my cat Smilla in my Art Journal #16. She lives with my parents right now, but for a week I had her in the apartment and took the time to draw her. She doesn’t look as spiky IRL. Furry cats with long soft hair is […]
Little nuggets of Joy
A few more things that I enjoy. Little things that make me happy and that are worth photographing and remembering. Special gifts. Like getting a miniature pot with a cute pink flower (above), a moving-in-present from a friend. And then having a craft night with wine, paper and lots of laughter together. One evening my […]

Photo taken with my smart phone. Continuing from my last post of blog inspiration here […]
Spring in the viewfinder
I must have a lilac’s purple promise to tell my winter-weary soul that spring has come and all is well. Helen Lowrie Marshall When I spot the first signs of spring here in Sweden I bring out my camera every year. Spring in the viewfinder just makes me happy and full of excitement! The snow […]
My Diary as a Pillow
Smilla is the enjoying the beautiful weather right now. When it is too hot she prefers to stay indoors in the shadow though, under a table. Each night she sleeps by my side in bed. And sometimes during the day we spend time there too. I sit and write and she chooses the most busy […]

Don’t iron your Four Leaf Clover
My clarity comes in the form of writing. When all else fails, when I don’t know which step to take next, or how to hold myself up any longer, all that I do know, is that i need to write. Writing is the work I need to do. Silvia deVries [*] I get nice things […]
