One of my customers stopped by with three pots of corn that she had planted for me! All I need to do now is to nurture and nourish them and I’ll have my very own corn to put on the barbecue com...
Make your own little paper plant pots with the wooden pot maker! I love finding something that makes my heart race just a little faster. Lately I’ve been browsing and reading a wonderful blog c...

Bigger detail. Creative chaos is ruling my workshop at the moment, you can’t really tell from the above but perhaps a little more in this picture. I’m in a very productive phase right now...
This week it’s Stockholm furniture fair and I notice that it’s a more cosmopolitan croud than usual visiting the shop. I haven’t been in every day as Leonard is starting kindergarte...
Larger tulips. Erika came by and chatted the afternoon away, while flipping through magazines at my workshop table. I’m at the moment not only flipping, but actually reading Kinfolk magazine. I...

It’s really slow in the shop this week and a perfect time for mending tools and kiln shelves in the workshop. Last year was a bit rough on my kiln shelves with trying out new glazes and having ...
Caroline and Bruno came by with fudge from newly opened Pärlans Konfektyr on a neighbouring street. Delicious in every way AND the wrapping looks wonderful AND they come delivered in handprinted pape...
From the Winter market in Jokkmokk Hello everybody! Long time no see, but here I am again hopefully on a little more regular basis. It seems to me this autumn has been filled to the brim and has gone...
Chess pieces and a coiled vase. Summer ceramics courses at manos - so much creativity! It’s been a varied bunch of participants which is a challenge and really fun for me. I want everyone to fe...
Midsummer day at Äppelfabriken. It’s been aerily quiet in the shop today, it’s a hot day and I hope people are sitting in the breeze on a boat or in the shade of an old beautiful oak tree...
A closer look. I love the blue of cornflowers - and the green of them too. So summery. Here’s another image that feels like summer. Nature photography by Carl Fredrik Ekström. More nature by Te...
Dress by the Japanese fashion label COMME des GARÇONS from the Sarah Moon exhibition at Fotografiska. Once in a while I get a newsletter from KIKI, the must-visit Japanese design store here on Rensti...
jo mcdonald - at at Galerie la Tour this summer I just had a woman in the shop who has bought a little house in the south of France… It sounds so, I don’t know - charming, romantic, chic,...
The magnolia in manos back yard is in full bloom and the hackberry next to it smells wonderful. I finally got my tax return sent in after which I’ve been spending my days catching up on emails ...
Still sunny and warm - even the wind is warm. Today I walked all along the waterfront in Hammarby Sjöstad and while Leonard was sleeping I read my book and dipped my toes in the water. Bliss. Filip h...
After a couple of cold cloudy days the sun has been shining in through the workshop windows this afternoon in erratic spurts. While I took care of yesterdays throwing it was shining right in my eyes....
What a treat it was to spend the day with Camilla yesterday. Leonard was already in love with Camilla’s art - the calendar, the illustrations and paintings we have on the walls at home - and no...
Leonard is ten months old! Oh, my how time flies. All of a sudden it’s spring in Stockholm - and a warm one as such, today we have 17 °C. Leonard has just turned 10 months and I’m remembe...
I’ve been given chocolate and chocolate cookies this week. Mmm. The older I get the more I appreciate dark chocolate in every way. Love it in ice cream as well. Here’s something else that...
I’m working on my 2011 collection and am adding images to it here, a couple every day. I’m not adding new things, but I’ve had time to think through sizes and patterns and have made...
Thank you Nicole! Time is a strange thing isn’t it? It goes so quickly and so slowly. So much happens and so little. Leonard is spending his last few days with me at manos, in two weeks time hi...
This photo really doesn’t do justice to Leonards new shoes, you should absolutely take a look at Lilla Gryn where they’re from. It’s a lot of childrens clothes around me right now, ...
I believe we passed the window of an owl lover on our walk today, here’s a close up of it. After that we walked across the street from beautiful shop Ki-ki, which is now open again. Camilla has...
It’s getting colder and Leonard is wearing the hat he got from Tante Sophie, isn’t it marvellous (it’s a little more in focus here)? It’s even got a tiny little sheep on it. H...
Winter made a brief visit the other day. I lit candles in my bone china tealight holders and put them on the steps leading in to the shop. Here’s a view from the bridge I cross almost daily. To...
Me and Leonard has started a new routine: I make coffee in my red thermos and sandwiches. Then we head out for a walk, Leonard warm and snug in his pram, me with a scarf wrapped around my ears. An ho...
