Here comes some sort of a summary of my 2013...
  • My year in three words  ( Thanks for the idea Alexander) Love, Happiness & Creativity. Love because it is amazing how much love I feel for our mini member ( which is also a product of love) and that it grows more and more and stronger and stronger for each day (even when she doesn't want to be in her stroller and complains load and clear.) Happiness is also what this little amazing person has brought us this year. I am so blessed that I get to spend my days with this little sunshine. Creativity has always been part of my life but this year I have really taken my creativity to new heights or actually it is my creativity that has taken me to new heights. I have been illustrating a lot as well as painting on canvas and also sewing projects that I started this Autumn. So inspired of my everyday life and blessed that I have a baby that likes to sleep in mammas lap while mamma is multitasking with drawing, painting, watching Swedish TV programs and keep track of whats happening in the Facebook world (well these were the days when she was still napping a few times a day instead of crawling, playing and demanding to watch P!nk music videos on Youtube.) I am so proud that I finally made a webpage with my portfolio and that I started to sell my products. Here you can check out my page CCillustrator. I am hoping to continue this coming year to use my creativity as much as I possibly can it is very fulfilling.

    We have also done a lot of traveling this year (Mila one year and soon ready for a frequent flyer card) We have been back and forth to Stockholm I don't know how many times. Greece, Paris, Mauritius as well as road-trips to Budapest, Dresden & Vienna.

    Our growing tomatoes and different herbs on the balcony was a success and we are already now planning how we can grow even more and better tomatoes this summer. Lets just hope the weather will be as good this year as it was last summer.

    A part for a couple of dark clouds and some stressful moments 2013 has been a great year!

    For 2014 I which for good health, happiness and a lot of fun

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...

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.
