bad blogger

i am a bit of a lazy blogger these days, not getting my photos edited, not blogging and not reading all my regular blogs. Bad blogger. Some days are just like that. But i guess thats okay -blogging should never become something you HAVE to do. These photos are snippets from my weekend -i will show you more tomorrow!

▶ Lili: cool! its spreading through the blog world
▶ Milk ...: ahh i wish i had a balcony -or just a little garden
▶ When skies..: for the first time i have a good fabric collection
▶ Mille: sejt! forårsrengøring!
▶ Adeline: wow a rabbit! that is so cool. So sad to hear about your old dog! Walter is puppylove
▶ Adri: hoorray for spring!
▶ E: the light has definitely stayed around! hooray!
▶ epe: it is!
▶ Lina thank you -its perfect: when you have a kid you can sew things out of little scraps!
▶ Julie: i have a hard time using the really good fabrics -you know choosing! but thats just stupid!
▶ Farhana: Thank you -and yeah, most of them are!

light

its L I G H T in copenhagen to day! i woke up this morning and thought: wow this might actually be too much light! but it wasn't. Its just perfect! im sorting my fabric!

▶ E: Exactly! you are so right! the whole point is that you both make a great deal because it is things that have lost their original value
▶ Máni: i love animals but i really can't get upset by stuffed animals -i just think they er funny and fascinating!
▶ Lisa: 1500 square meter of heaven!
▶ Mari: Ja! Bankeråt! its a great place -good food too!
▶ Lisen: Jeg tænker nogle gange at en iller er et mærkeligt dyr at udstoppe!
▶ Sopchan: choice can be devastating!
▶ Erin: The bird was SO big! i wanted it so badly i did not want to ask about the price!

thrifting part II

im fascinated by taxidermy! The thrift market was full of intriguing animals staring at you in the semi-darkness. And no, i didn't buy anything. As Emma suggested i went into system error and hid behind my camera (+ the prices was just a bit too high -i hate that!)

▶ La sale bete: there were so many exciting machines and cameras and microscopes and even a giant telescope!
▶ E: i got the error-feeling after three minutes and just wandered around staring! you would need a whole day!
▶ Nadia: Tak for din søde kommentar! Stedet er Knebel antikmarked langt langt ude på mols! Hvis du er i nærheden er det helt sikkert et besøg værd, men priserne er desværre lige lidt for høje..
▶ Lisen: Im sending D there with his fynd-briller! han vil kunne finde guld!
▶ Mille: uden tvivl helt utroligt mange! bliver også frustreret når andre er bedre til det end mig og køber gode ting, mens jeg bare står og stirrer!
▶ Whitney: I thought it was a little too expensive but it was very tempting! there was a fisher price record player from the 70ies that was very very tempting, but waaaay too expensive!
▶ Lilla a: it might be! there were several busts of the same man :)

thrifting part I

During my easter holiday I visited a giant antique/thrift warehouse close to my parents summer cottage. It was such an overwhelmingly huge place! So many things -actually too many for me! i close down and can't see all the good stuff hiding between the ----crap... D is much better at it than me! I will bring him there this summer!

▶ Malene: Tak! det er altid dejligt at få at vide!
▶ E: præcis -og at have steder ude, som føles som hjemme!
▶ Lykke: Tak skal du have!
▶ Lisen: Ja, Ø er et ret godt bogstav!
▶ Chatrin: ja der er så mange ting vi har til fælles og så betyder et ord som "roligt" to meget forskellige ting!
▶ Kempt: hi hi
▶ Petr: yeah, me, Marie and Ivan have the same haircut!
▶ Sammy Rose: Elinor ELSKEDE ilden! hun kiggede på den og lå og varmede sig efter bad. Det er perfekt for en baby!
▶ Maria: Yes its my nephew Ivan and he is just he coolest -the cat might not like lying there as much as it simply just accepts being moved where ever :)

easter bliss

im back home again after a perfect easter holiday surrounded by family, talking, reading, eating and watching the fire. So calming. But also so good to be back! It was just E and I who were away and boy did we miss D and Rufus! as we say here: ude godt, men hjemme bedst.

▶ Elizabeth: hi hi -it was just the easter holiday that began last weekend! easter was this weekend here as well!
▶ Emma Margretha: I know what you mean! old photos -especially really old one- have such a rare presence thats hard to find in digital photos! its the crazy timing need to capture exactly the right moment..
▶ Peachey + Kindra: :)
▶ Lyle: then easter is the perfect holiday for you!
▶ Trine: Så perfekt det billede!!

▶ Veja: Glad påsk!
▶ Hunch: Sejt! tak for den søde kommentar!

▶ Mieke Willems: I did!
▶ Essi: oh its sooo good to take a break every now and then!
▶ Erin Anne Marie: Thank you for the sweet comment! i'll be sure to tell Rufus you said hi!
▶ Anonymous: its from Cheap Monday a few years back!

ho li day

going on a teeny-tiny blog break! I order all of my readers to take even the smallest break where you do absolutely nothing! Ill be back soon!

easter silence

sorry for the slight silence here! happy easter holiday everyone! my legs are tired and im drinking coffee -thats a good combo.

▶ Everyone: thank you for the sweet comments about my grandfather! i just love the photo -its so amazingly captured in the moment you can almost feel it in your stomach! its a feeling you don't really get from digital photos. Can't wait to show you more.

the wall I

You might have seen it before - we have a wall in our kitchen covered with photographs and cut outs and i thought i would introduce you to some of the things on it.
This is a photograph of my grandfather -my fathers father. He is flipping pancakes over a burning tree log probably somewhere in Canada. This photograph represents my grandfather very well i think: the nonchalant way of flipping the pancake in the air with a pipe in his mouth over an impressive burning log in the great outdoors with a dog standing by hoping for a drop.

▶ Provins: ha ha -sejt! elsker overformelt engelsk!
▶ Paula + Essi : Y E S
▶ Lea: Det gule tæppe er fra bibliotekshaven ved det kongelige bibliotek. Først tog jeg et billede af en enkelt lille erantis og da vi så gik et par skridt videre så jeg pludselig dette tæppe.
▶ Gracia: I know! my eyes needs spring colours and my mouth needs good coffee!
▶ Alaina: such a nice memory
▶ Mama D: thank you so much!
▶ Sandra: Wouldn't it be cool with a world wide coffee break!
▶ MAria: ;)
▶ Hello Tiger: I only started drinking tea a year ago and im still sceptical!
▶ Tara: Thank you! i am cursed: every time i see a picture of coffee or hear it mentioned i have to have some!
▶ Trine: your welcome! i hope you can assemble it :)
▶ Emma: oh i so wanted to drink coffee outside today! it was sooo spring like!
▶ Karin: Thank you!
▶ Lilla A: i know! i can't wait until i can drink coffee unlimited! even though i should probably stick to my two cups now that i have gotten used to it!
▶ Alice: oh i know those very well! so fantastic!
▶ Lisen: Coffee is the best cure for headaches and only creates them slightly...

coffee break

coffee breaks are one of the best things in the world. (im voting spring too, btw)

winter > < spring

Winter or spring? i don't know what to think...

▶ Brit + Liz: it is only 1.99 -but you have to assemble it yourself which can be kind of tricky.
▶ Maria: when ever i make a smoothie it think "why don't i do this everyday?"
▶ Lisen: its cheap and kind of a funny assembly project :)
▶ Golubka: amen!
▶ Benedikte: he he -its the boxes where i keep my shoes because we like eating breakfast in the bedroom :) but they are good as a table!
▶ Lina: i hope you did!
▶ Provins: der er meget indendørs camping over den lampe, men jeg er ikke helt god nok til kinesisk til at indstille den helt korrekt
▶ Sopchan: yeah, you need a little concentration to get it right, but its sort of cool with a little technical project like that!
▶ Stefanie: we are - every day
▶ Famapa: yes, i some times have to jiggle a cord to get it to work, but its worth it!

weekend (de)lights

raspberry smoothies and blueberry pancakes makes for a gooood weekend. i love weekends that are all about long breakfasts! more of those please! I would love for E to think of her childhood as one of many weekend pancakes. And we got our cosmos lamp! seconds after reading Famapas post about the lamp i pressed the "buy it now" button on ebay. Love it!

▶ Mieke + Veronik + Kate + Brit + Epe + Kenn: When E gets older and self-concious and is mad at me for blogging about her when she was a baby, i will just show her your comments and she will know that she was adored all over the world :) (which probably won't help when she is a teenager....)
▶ Emma: How cool! I love that when you go to school, you some times learn things that makes you smarter than your parents!
▶ Withney: oh your baby is soo sweet -they look a little like each other, don't you think?
▶ Siri: Thank you! it is so cool to see the progress! and it happens in so many different places!
▶ B: uhh jeg er bange for at vi misser hinanden! håber dig og D får en god påskeferie alligevel!
▶ Sister brandt: tak -gooood weekend! (hey solen kom lige frem da jeg skrev det! skønt!)

hands

She is getting so good at using her hands. soon she will be flipping pancakes :)

▶ Sandra: :) thank you, sandra!
▶ Mel: im not sure, but we have had a very cold and long winter, so i think maybe that could be it.
▶ Lina: it is a really good way to spend time with your family and friends!
▶ Janine: Im not really sure how you got from two swans that probably died of natural causes because of the cold cold winter to the killing of whales. And i don't think spreading the article you linked to is the best way of helping the animals. Greenland and the Faroe islands are not the same thing as Denmark and whale hunting in indigenous communities are complicated issues. The excessive hunting of all kinds of animals and the number of species going extinct are some of the most scary facts about the way we humans are living and how we are destroying the earth we should be protecting. But i don't think this article with its one-sided and non-constructive language and arguments will help the whales.
▶ Melly: thank you!
▶ Brit: i love how beaches can be so different! there were so many rocks on the beaches of Sejerø!
▶ Meyer-Lavigne: wish i could go back. right NOW!
▶ Maria: we are planning a getaway this summer too. Its such a nice form of vacation!
▶ Svanna: mmmm..
▶ PaulaQ: yeah, for some people getting the smell of seaweed in you nose might not be a good thing, but i totally know what you mean.
