National History Museum pt 1

Today I went to the Natural History museum and was blown away by a room that I for some weird reason managed to miss before, a section filled with various species preserved in jars. I think that there's something beautiful about all these jars with animals, even-though it's obscene with horse babies, big birds and various species in jars, maybe there is something wrong with me...but they fascinate and scare me at the same time.

Stockholm pt 2

Here are some more pics from my little Christmas break. This is Ester, one of my oldest sisters cats. She loves to cuddle and cannot put her tongue back properly into her mouth. There's another cat as well, Iris.

Iris is addicted to grift wrap and ribbons so all the Christmas presents had to be put into boxes and baskets or Iris will eat all the ribbons and strings. My sister told me that it got so bad that this cute lady like little cat actually was shitting a few meters of string...imagine that, pooh coming out attached to a few meters of string...yeaick...

And I thought that this was very cute, big brother William and big sister Amanda gave their little sister a Christmas present and on the note it says "Even-though you are so stubborn and sulky we love you very much".

Pimped street sign.

Now I am going to panic clean my flat before all the New Years eve guests arrive, Happy New Year everyone!

Stockholm pt 1

I am back in London town after a few lovely days in Stockholm. It feels like I have been on a spa trip, fresh air, great food, really nice tap water and long forest walks and coffee breaks by the ocean. But the days are unbelievably short, the sun starts going down already at three o'clock so I ended up walking around in a zombie state in the end. Here are some pics from Gamla Stan/Old Town in Stockholm and of-course the infamous tunnbrödsrulle, the vegetarian option with roasted onion, mashed potatoes, salad, mustard and ketchup and soya hot dogs... mmm,definitely a must try for anyone visiting Sweden.

Ho ho ho

There's only a few days left to Christmas and I am really looking forward to going to Sweden for a few days and spend some time with family and friends, but most of all I miss my sisters super cute kids. I don't get a lot of time to hang out with them as I live in London so I hope to get plenty of lego and snow fight time with them. Now, to get in the right Christmas mood, how about a little give away?

My toe and I

When I am not working on various projects or my own products I work as a designer at Ella Doran Design Ltd. and today it was time to shoot some new products and I was asked if I could do some styling and maybe photograph some of the new stuff. And you have no idea how fun I find that kind of work! So fun that I almost broke my toe. I got so hyped up about doing styling that I ran straight into a metallic ladder and yeapp, that was it. Now my toe and I are chilling in bed.

I blame it on myself first of all but nr 2 is definitely the amazing home that we photographed in, I wanted to cry when I saw their massive open brick wall NY style kitchen and the living room filled with designs and objects of all kinds, or the bath room with a large free standing bathtub and a balcony outside, I got so über excited that I started running into objects, big, metallic, objects. But even-though my toe now is three times bigger, deep purple and hurt like hell, it was a great day and here are some pics from that amazing home.

...and my contribution to styling and product photography, Ella Doran's lovely Bugs and Butterflies cushion;

Now my toe and I will watch a film. Have a nice weekend!
