Brage Trader
Tuesday, February 28th, 2012Brage Suppliers new supply-ship is called Brage Trader. It´s been built in India, and I just sent down three big wooden boxes of art to decorate the ship. The Christening of the ship is today, so I thought you might want a peek of the art that will be onboard. The ship-owner wanted pictures based […]
The Art-talk
Sunday, February 26th, 2012In January, the interior magazine Rett Hjem (wordplay for right home and strait home) visited me, took loads of photos and interviewed me. It was a bit nerve-tickling to invite an actual interior-magazine into my home, but in a good way 🙂 The art-talk is in Norwegian, click the picture, if you want to read;-)

Elephants

Fiftyninethousandtwohundredandfourtyseven stitches. Yeah, baby! That´s right. 59 247! I lost a couple of colors along the way, the orange, the burgundy. Who knows where they are now… The […]
The soul of music
Sunday, February 19th, 2012This weekend I´ve enjoyed others´ creativity, being hostess for the Motown-project band. They are such good musicians, the soul music is SO cool, and it´s gonna be such a great concert! Very much looking forward to our concerts in 2 weeks time. They rehearsed at the theatre, right next to my little office, so I […]
This makes me happy!
Friday, February 17th, 2012This little sequence from the blog Advanced Style makes me happy. The whole blog is quite uplifting! It is something so rare as a fashion blog for older women. At 43 I sometimes feel, well, not old, but not really young either, but seeing the wonderful women on this blog, makes me smile, thinking: where […]
