Weekly update 7/52 Summary of January challenges

First day of February and time to make a summary of my January Challenges. 
No Alcohol ✅
No sweets or chocolate ✅
I am very proud to report that I managed with both ! 
For February I have come up with a perfect challenge
Champagne ever Tuesday (because February is I think the most boring month of the year and Tuesday the weekday without an identity) so why not bright it up with some bubbles.
Staying off sweets will be continued as I have some sort of sugar addict not that I eat heaps but I do feel that the sugar controls me more then I control the sugar. 

What else to report from the last week of January...
One sunny day (btw I think Düsseldorf only had a couple of sunny days in all of January - it has really been very very grey) me and Loren did our lunch walk and as usual passing through Kalkum Schloß park. Also as usual I took up my phone to try and take a picture of the green parrots. Düsseldorf has a large colony of green parrots ( Rose-ringed-paraketees) hundreds of them and you can hear their screeching in nearly every park in and around Düsseldorf. They came here in the 80s if they escaped or was let out has not been confirmed but they have since lived and became more and more. They are often high up in the trees and flies very fast so they are bloody impossible to get a good picture of them. 
But this sunny January day I finally managed to not only get a picture where you can actually see that it is a bird but a pretty good picture. 



I have been working on and finished an illustration also. One of many illustrations which starts without an idea. And surprise surprise it turned out that this God damn pandemic had been inspiration to yet another illustration. You know the face masks which are not only covering everyones mouth and nose these days (at least here on the continent) but which you also can find everywhere on the ground together with cans and wrappers and all other trash which we human-beings doesn't seem to be able to control. 

1. In working progress from Filip's room 

2. Layer by layer idea after idea getting there 

3. I think I am done 


I have so many illustration from this pandemic that I soon can arrange a small Covid-19 exhibition 

Last but not least on the creative note. Me and Filip started a super fun project making train crossings and signs for all his billions of different trains and train-tracks. This was fun and we even bought little lights that I added to the barricade. This will be continued.  

Have a good week !

Karatänuppdatering

Det har gått 15 dagar sedan jag sist gjorde en uppdatering om Corona statusen här i Düsseldorf Eftersom vi när skolorna beslutades att stängas var sjuka och ganska rejält sjuka hela gänget så kände vi först inte av hur livet i karantän eller isolering var eftersom vi även under vanliga omständigheter hade hållt oss hemma. Om vi hade Corona det får vi aldrig veta eftersom dom inte testar här i nuläget, men jag har aldrig blivit så risig av en vanlig förkylning med hosta, tungt i bröstet och väldigt väldigt lite energi. Det positiva var att det var inga problem att få kontakt med vården och den hjälp vi behövde här i Düsseldorf, vi ringde innan för att kolla om vi verkligen fick komma in med feber och det fick vi fast genom särskilda ingångar på sjukhuset. Känns tryggt också med den mindre barnklinik dit barnen går som vi hittills alltid har fått tid samma dag och även för oss vuxna walk in klinik utan att behöva ringa innan eller långa köer. Jag ska tillägga att vi inte har någon dyr p...

IF: Ocean

Ocean is this weeks topic on Illustration Friday.  Prague is cold and snowy at the moment. A nice warm summer day is far away and so are the ocean. But we keep dreaming of warm sunny days and the ocean far away.  Havet är veckans inspirationsord på Illustration Friday. Prag är snöigt och kallt idag. Sommarens varma väder är långt bort och det är havet också. Men vi drömmer om soliga dagar och havet långt borta.

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. ...
