I love decorating for holidays (any holidays!) so I thought I’d show you some of my decorations this year. Like that army of snowmen I mentioned earlier My living room. It’s mostly black,...
I got my hands on a charcoal pencil a while ago and have been experimenting with it. Unlike graphite the sketches actually comes out black, which I love, and the softness makes it easy to smudge to c...
Yesterday was Advent Sunday which means Christmas season is officially here I spent a big part of Saturday putting up Christmas decorations at home (there’s an army of snowmen in my living room...
Finally!! But it’s not much, and the thermometer is showing 0°C (32°F) so it’s really warm and wet and will probably be gone by tomorrow… Do you know how disturbing it is that we ha...
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, but I fail at television. I watch an episode of something great and I say to myself “I have to remember to watch this next week” bu...

Some weeks ago I got hold of two beautiful black ornamented frames, but since I didn’t have anything to put in them they just ended up being put away in a drawer. Then I got an idea… I al...
Whatever it was that Markus got I got it too I spent pretty much all of last week curled up on the couch under a mountain of cough drops, nose drops and kleenex. I’m still not 100% well, but at...
Yesterday was Markus’ 24th birthday! He didn’t have a very good birthday though – it started with a dentist appointment and a cold so he wasn’t all that happy. Me and a friend...
I have to show you this amazing necklace I bought from Etsy! Of course I’ve known about Etsy for years – but I’ve never really took the time to get in there and start browsing. Unti...
It’s been raining for days here. The whole week has been soaking wet and while I don’t really mind rain that much it does make it rather difficult to go out in the forest. Everything gets...
I think I’ve mentioned before my need for being in tune with the seasons. For example, I change the decor in my apartment depending on what’s going on outside. And now it’s autumn! ...
