A why dilemma



When baby Nikolovski is napping I have my big chance to illustrate or paint (using both my hands and no baby hanging in my tit..) My routine is that I make myself a nice strong cup of coffee or sometimes tea (it used to be a glass of red wine a few cigarettes, but those days are gone.) 
I have the whole table full of paints, brushes and papers. Me and the colors against the world. 
Great feeling. But Why do I always dip the painting brush into the wrong cup?? This is a daily dilemma maybe not for everyone but for me this is a major daily dilemma. It doesn't matter where I place the cup that I am drinking from I can guarantee you that sooner or later the paint brush will be dunked in there. Coffee and paint doesn't taste that good and it is highly annoying.
Anyone with a tried and tested suggestion how to avoid this problem?


Medan baby Nikolovski tar en tupplur passar jag på att utnyttja tiden till vad som ger mig bra energier, teckna och måla. Det är en liten tid på dygnet som jag har chans att utnyttja båda mina händer till mina illustrationer och måleriprojekt och denna tid är helig. Jag börjar med att göra en stor kopp starkt kaffe med mjölk. Härlig känsla när kaffedoften sprider sig i rummet och jag kan försvinna in i min kreativa värld. Jag har fullt fokus och är uppslukad i mina figurer och färgernas värld, härligt. Det är då det händer, varenda jäkla gång... Jag doppar penseln i kaffekoppen. Det spelar ingen roll var jag placerar koppen penseln hamnar alltid förr eller senare i den koppen som jag dricker ur, det slår aldrig fel. Hur svårt ska det vara? Det är lite som "varför hamnar mackan med smöret nedåt" problematiken. Detta är ett för mig ett dagligt dilemma som jag inte vet hur jag ska råda bot på för kaffe med färg smakar inget vidare. Någon som har några tips hur man undviker detta högst irriterande fenomen ?

Weekly update 42/52 New fleece hats ready for the cooler weather

   

Weekly update 41/52 Time for warmer hats, nice books and last garden projects

  October and week 41 and I have been making lots of new jersey hats with fleece lining. The weather is getting colder and colder and yes hat season is here. I will during the week add new fun warm hats in my web-shop. The hats will also be sold at Christmas markets here in Örebro.  New this year for me is that I am making baby hats since I got a lot of requests. I find it hard to make baby hats because they look so small, it is hard to remember how small babies are.  Also this week big happiness over at new book release from my favorite children book illustrator Sven Nordqvist. "Vägen Hem" a wonderful book with amazing illustrations.   I have also bought and planted some new plants inspired from some nice park arrangements here in Örebro. Now lets hope that all the deer in the forrest will not eat all of these, as I forgot to check wether or not these are tasty to them. In our country-house in the forrest they tend to come and eat everything they like and they ...

A hate-love relationship

 I have a love-hate relationship to washing. I love the feeling of putting things in the washing machine. If I don't have things in the washing basket ready for washing I go for a hunt around the apartment looking for things that can do with a wash. This behavior is totally inherited from my mother who could ask me to take clothes off so she could wash it ( possible that they also smelled a little horsey..) As much as I love the washing moment I hate the feeling of having to fold and put away washed and dried cloths.And don't even mention ironing, I refuse, a crease or two has never hurt anyone... These days the washing pile is bigger but at the same time more bright and colorful. Sweet little clothes for a sweet little girl. Jag har ett speciellt förhållande till att tvätta kläder, en passionerad hatkärlek. Kärleken riktas mot att få stoppa in kläder i tvättmaskinen för tvätt. Finns det inte mycket i tvättkorgen letar jag rätt på något som kan behöva en tvätt. ...
