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 ?

  1. Put the paint water on the right and coffee on the left and see what happens :-D

Weekly update 38/52 Örebro Autumn market in summer sun

  It was exciting to participate at my first market being back in Örebro, Sweden. It was an Autumn market in the beautiful setting of Karlslund Estate in Örebro. Most exhibitor were selling locally grown fruit, veggies and flowers. Also jams, marmelades, bakeries and cheeses. It was a sunny beautiful day and it attracted a lot of people. It was fun to finally again set up my display and show my products. The market stand/table I rented from the organizer and it was perfect size and cute. My best-sellers were my hats in smaller sizes. Amd to next market I need to make more fleece-lined hats since it gets cooler here in Swedem during the winter.   

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 ...
