I have a problem

I recognize I might have a problem: I might be a bit obsessed with Minimarket... I found the pastels on sale in Berlin this summer -actually all the shoes have been half price so I guess that makes my addiction a little bit better. What can you do when you feel like a designer makes shoes just for you? ▶ Bantik: I can't wait to show you!
▶ Tambourine Sam: Du ved når man er DDK'er så kan man jo ikke blive hængende hos Blogger for evigt :)
▶ Johanna Tagada: I like the way the blog looks now too, but its time for something new!
▶ KERRY: It's gonna be so exciting to hear what you all think! I sure hope ou like it!
▶ Emma: meget!
▶ Irene: Oh I hope you will like it!
▶ Sewon: I like the way it looks too, but it has looked the same for three years now so its time for something new!
▶ Bonjour Juliette: I sure hope I can live up to it

forgetting

working so hard on my blog redesign -and all my other projects- that I forget to blog! Ironic... This is not gonna be just a new header and a new color for the links -its gonna be a total move and reformation of the blog ...if it ever happens... ▶ Everyone: as always - thank you for all the sweet comments making my day daily.

Tooouuuucan

I think my favorite animal this time at the zoo was the toucan! Such an unreal animal! ▶ Bantik: I know - it was really relaxing without a care in the world. I guess thats what happens when you are a zoo animal
▶ Tihana: Thank you for the sweet sweet comment! Im glad I can be some sort of inspiration! -I took sewing classes when I was maybe 13 years old but most of all its just a matter of trying -learn by doing!
▶ B: Ja, det er sgu en befriende følelse
▶ Jokemijn: ha ha - I think Rufus would be proud to be mistaken for a lion!

outside

Here is a glimpse of the outside - and our new livingroom which is so bright and light -centered around the window. Thursday is the general election in Denmark -Har du bestemt dig for hvad du vil stemme?

inside the house

Thank you all your sweet sweet comments about the house! It's so good to feel that somebody out there gets me :) The house is painted a light pink/salmon on the outside and a dark aubergine color on the inside. On the inside there is also two small fold-out shelves and two lamps and the house is placed so you can see the tv both from the bed and from the sofa :) I changed the back pillow since i took these photos so I will have to show it later, but the house is a really comfortable place to watch a movie from. The house is placed a little askew in the room so it would not block the view when you look into the living room from the kitchen. Also it makes it feel less like a big cube shoved in a corner -its big, it takes up space and there is no reason to deny that. I made it out of cheap materials: laths and masonite. In the next post I will show you the sofa I build for our new "living room"

A house in a house

Here it is - My big summer project. We live in a rather small apartment -just over 55m2- a livingroom, a bedroom and a kitchen. And so far we have shared our bedroom with Elinor. When it became time to find a new arrangement I didn't want to just move our bed into the livingroom or get a sofa bed. Instead I got to try out an idea I have had for a long time: A house within a house! This is now our bedroom and I'm so happy how it turned out. I had for a long time been annoyed with how our living room was working and even if it sounds crazy, this huge house have done wonders for our livingroom - I will show you more pictures soon! ▶ Everyone: I know, that last picture of the three of us is pretty good :) - I'm a little under the weather because of my crazy week and the sudden fall temperatures, but from next week my schedule is gonna be so much better (Oh and when I call it a 'crazy' week' its how most peoples schedule look all the time, but im not that good at being too busy)

I'm getting there - ready to reveal the exiting summer projects. But not today. Today I'm just tired and not in the mood for revelations - mostly I'm just in the mood for curling up in bed and sadly thats not gonna happen for a couple of hours. ▶ Everyone: I too love that photo of E and I - had to become one of those moms with a picture of her kid on her phone - I had my last day at work today and tomorrow im gonna be a Teaching Assistant in a course at the university where i study - thats why I can't just curl up in bed! have to study and prepare!

Everyday

Three kinds of everyday life! -Im so happy I got through this week! lots of work (im changing jobs and there is an overlap) - and I have started school. Getting the feel of real everyday life again. That also means I have finished some summer projects I have yet to show you! Can't wait to hear what you think.... ▶ everyone: You are right - the key to the inhuman long day is food (/candy) and coffee!! We'll see... Im pretty good at doing most of my studying at home if the course allows...
