Yes, yes, I know. I've been a very bad blogger lately. I'm so sorry but I've been busy, tired, bored and then I caught a cold that had me laying in the sofa all day long for four days. Now I'm almost healthy and very happy to be blogging again.
So, it's been christmas, right?
I have some photos to show you, so here we go!
Astor the Cat and Sneaky Santa.
I was looking extra fancy for David's and my anniversary day.
Even got some love from Astor that day. He is a sweet and fat cat.
The day before christmas eve was christmas for David and me. We exchanged christmas gifts first thing in the morning.
David got this from me. We had seen it months ago in a video on youtube and laughed at it and now it was time to try it...
We were watching the
video at the same time because the japanese instructions on the box wasn't all easy to understand.
Lots of tiny bags of powder to mix with water...
Making dough...
And the finished plate! Hahaha! This is so absurd. It tastes like hamburger!
Dinner at my parent's one evening.
The morning of christmas eve. Astor the cat want's to get that hugged and loved feeling and takes what he can get.
A couple of days after christmas my sister and niece came to visit.
It was so nice to see them!
David and I had to go back home the day after so we didn't have that much time with them.
Now it's a new year and I have lots to look forward to this year. I think it will be a marvelous 2013 actually.
I'm going to make a 2012 recap soon, I promise I wont leave you for over a week this time.
Bye for now dear friends and readers! I hope your christmas and new years eve was lovely.
Hello hello and sorry for the silence!
Thought we could take a peek at what's been going on lately. My camera has not been with me so these are all iPhone-photos. Okay, here we go:
It was my birthday on the 7th and on the weekend David and I went to our parents. They live in the same town about 2 hours from Gothenburg.
When we arrived at my parent's house David took a nap in the huge pillow mountain.
One day we woke up in this lovely tower room. Such bliss. I want a room like this one day. In a large tower. Yeah, I can totally see myself living in a castle...
On saturday my best friend had a party because she recently turned 30. It was a Hat Party and I couldn't be happier with the theme! I bought this gorgeous 1960's hat from the etsy shop
Nevermore Vintage especially for the occasion and it's definitely a new favourite of mine.
After a few hours. The obligatory bathroom self portrait at the party toilet, of course.
The curls were long gone but the hat still sat perfectly in place.
The weekend also included some cat cuddling. My parent's cat Astor is the largest and cutest around.
Here he's found something edible in the kitchen sink...
When we came back to Gothenburg autumn was almost over. I feel sad, it passed so quickly this year. My favourite season of them all.
I have been making lots of jewelry.
Next week is a big week for me because I'm going to be selling my jewelry and photographs at the christmas fair in Nordstan, the big mall in the centre of Gothenburg. An entire week of meeting many many interesting people and hopefully selling a lot!
One day I felt like dressing extra fancy. I had a meeting with a friend and in the evening I went out for food and drinks with another friend. With my raspberry red beret/hat/thingy on my head all day felt very snazzy.
And that vintage coat. Yeah, it's so amazing!
I have been going crazy with beet roots and brussels sprouts. It's my new thing and I can't see me getting tired of it in the near future. Together with some goat cheese, ruccola and walnuts it is heaven on a plate!
Gothenburg is so grey and rainy now. No leaves left on the trees.
Yesterday I had to stop when I saw the whitest dove ever walking along the canal with his grey friends.
How can he stay so unbelievably white!? Not a single spot on him. I could never do that. Every time I wear white it's like I have to pour some coffee on it the exact moment after I've put it on.
How can the dove keep clean when I can't!?
So unfair.
Maybe not the best weather to walk around town with a bass under your arm...
So, that's a week or so through my phone.
Hope you're having a nice weekend everybody!
Tjingeling!

Hello hello!
I've been away filming for a week.
The whole little film crew went to my family's summer house at Österlen to film our movie
Allmänt Jävla Bäng. It was such an amazing experience.
Sometimes the weather was bad and we had to sit inside and wait for it to get better but for the most part everything went really well.
We worked very hard the entire week and I couldn't bring my real camera around because I was acting most of the time so here are some iPhone photos from behind the scenes.
Can't wait to see the result of all this filming!
Almost a Sound of music moment.
Say hello to the Hay Master.
Very large pig.
Very large pig in a bucket.
David found a friend.
Just your average Hanging upside down from the bed and laughing hysterically for half an hour scene.
Giggling director.
At the cliffs of Vik.
Hanna and Lovisa.
Our tech guy Joel.
Hello Mr Director!
Setting the scene. David and our producer Claes.
Filming one of the key scenes at the cemetery in Simrishamn.
Running over the hills in only night wear and coats.
Checking the result after driving around the town with the camera on the hood of the car.
This week has been extremely stressfull. I've been working evenings and nights and before work David and I have been working on our movie. On wednesday and friday it was time to film a couple of scenes that take place at the cemetery Östra Kyrkogården here in Gothenburg and by the train tracks in Jonsered just outside the city.
Here are some photos I took behind the scenes when I didn't hold the microphone or cover the sun with a large white screen.
The actors, and my good friends, Hanna Johansson and Olle Kilström get instructions from David behind the camera.
David lurking behind a gravestone.
Our favourite dog actor! His name is Kompis, which means Buddy or Friend.
We borrowed him from his owners, our friends, for the day and he is such a great dog!
Tomorrow starts an entire week of filming. I am so excited! I play one of the three leading roles in the movie and I have really been looking forward to start acting infront of the camera and be a part of this whole filming adventure.
I'll keep you posted, for sure!
