Possibilities, promises and poltics

 
I got the inspiration to this small and humble comic strip about possibilities, promises and politics from Swedish radio program, P1 Sommar. One of the moderators the new chairman of The Social Democrats made me thinks of education and the value or no value of it. The experience that life gives us is no doubt a super school. But really is that enough when it comes to knowing what is best for the country? My professor in Macroeconomics told me once something very wise, when I thought I understood inflation, monetary policy and Phillips curve " Still confused, but on a higher level"

Also some part of my inspiration which is kind of new to me comes from that I am actually getting more and more interested in politics and the effect of it. I should add that my newfound interest is mainly focus towards Sweden and all the political "sweep under the carpet" games that can be found there.. I would say that I can see things much clearer and afford to be more realistic from the distance in combination with a close up been-living-there knowledge. You might think that I am just negative and a lttle homesick..

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 ...

Weekly update 40/52 Autumn colors and cinnamon buns

Welcome October the most colorful month of the year. Yes we are going full steam towards the darker and colder part of the year, but I have to admit it is cosy and pretty with all the colorful leaves.  I don't know if it is a new thing to have theme days where a dish or something is being celebrated. I am guessing it is a capitalistic marketing great idea so companies can make more money like Valentine day. One of those days in Sweden is 4 of October when our national bakery Cinnamon bun is being honored. I got inspired! Some time ago I bought nice linnen tea-towels which I was planning to make some print/design on and when I got inspired by cinnamon bun I knew exactly what to make. I started scribbling and drawing buns on a big sheet. When I had one or two which I thought looked ok I transfered my bun drawing to my Cricut and had it cut out on iron-on vinyl. My mum is a master in baking buns and so I made a tea-towel/baking-towel in honor of not only cinnamon buns but of my mother...
