Since we’re not allowed to travel anywhere, I have been diving into past travels via photos and video clips. This month I’ve uploaded the vlogs I filmed two years (!) after the actual Festival of Quilts that I attended in Birmingham, UK, but hey sorry not sorry. I just have the time to do a […]

Doodeling in the Ocean
Small deeds done are better than great deeds planned. Peter Marshall This small island is called Grinda, it has some rental cabins, a camping ground, two places to eat and one little shop/coffee place for boat tourists to stock up on frozen food and shampoo I guess. We went to a place called Backfickan, just […]
Stockholm from the Waterfront
Asking ourselves, ‘Where am I right now?’ gives us a chance to step outside the internal dialogue for a moment of peace. Look around you, take a deep breath and notice what you see, hear and feel. Present moment awareness is the point of power and choice. It frees us from our compulsive thoughts. Laura […]
Eye Candy | Steampunk Machinery
I am not interested in how these machines work, or in learning how to built them or pick them apart. I’m not even into making steampunk craft, but I can not help but to be fascinated by the look of big machines – especially vintage ones in a museum like this. Machines where the details […]
I was featured in a e-zine & the Stockholm app
A computer terminal is not some clunky old television with a typewriter in front of it. It is an interface where the mind and body can connect with the universe and move bits of it about. Douglas Adams Do you read the e-zine The Art Journal Journey? You should, it is really cool. I feel […]
The book café we always wanted to have
Where and how to have a excellent café experience. It is a relatively new café in my old hometown Umeå, with a hand carved wood sign above the door. It is called Café Pilgatan as it is situated on the road with the same name. It’s one of those dream coffee shops that we’ve talked […]
I love a bit of craziness around the neck
Behold the turtle. He makes progress only when he sticks his neck out. James Bryant Conant When I was visiting the city library I had a very nice time in the craft section. Perfectly placed in front of the knitting books I found a little stool that I sat on as I was browsing through […]
Taxinge garden
There was a garden exhibition at Taxinge Castle this weekend. We made it into a day trip and brought my 89 year old grandmother too. She is very fragile but wanted to come. I brought my camera. Gran and me walked slowly slowly through everything and finished at the café, famous for its beautiful and […]
Julita Garden & Pettson’s kitchen
Here are some photos from Julita, a castle with a big garden you should visit if you are in the area of Katrineholm. Oh, and how cute is this: A green kitchen! Something for home decorating inspiration, right? It is a Swedish style (old farmer home) but also a bit too small to live in, […]
Wall Paper Collages (from 1879)
A whole lot of vintage wall paper collage photos in a mumble-jumble together in many layers, as I found them on a wall and captured it with my camera. Enjoy. This cottage is for sale, and could be mine – if I had the money for it plus a piece of land that we could […]
Fika with inspiring friends
You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you. Dale Carnegie Last week I had coffee with two friends at my favorite museum, where we saw artist Anne Olofsson who had lots of scary photos […]
Utflykt
Utflykt is the Swedish word for outing or day trip. It’s the thing to do in the summer, with friends and loved ones. We had coffee and cinnamon buns, sunshine and a great time. I took lots of photos, of course. Related PostsHomemade Soup Spotted Photo Theme: My Bridge to Nature Week in the Life […]
