Prints, Paint, Photo's and Pooks

I've finally put my new paint to use and made the painting to the right. I'm rather proud of it. I think it turned out real good. I'm working on some more, it just takes a lot  more time than, say, sewing! And in between sick kids, softie pattern deadlines and homework? Phew!

We've just all been sick this week, so I'm feeling a bit upside down.

The painting on the left was made by my Great Grandfather, who made it after a photo of my Dad and one of his brothers.

The print to the right is my Camilla print. Isn't her tea towel just so frame-able? (If that's even a word!) The photo to the left is me, my Mom, my Grandma and my Great Grandma. I love this photo.

A couple of shelves in our living room, with my craft books, interior books and novels. Oh and check out the photo of me and my son: I whitened my teeth in the photo edit program....he he....

Holmegaard Glassworks

Sunday we went on a little trip to Holmegaard Glassworks, where the whole family can try and blow glass! Unfortunately it was closed, so we only got to walk around and see the beautiful buildings and the Glass Shop, but we'll return when they open in February.

These are some of their lamps I absolutely adore.

I love the work of Holmegaard, I have the Karen Blixen vases and the Fiducia vase, which is a collaboration between Kähler Ceramics and Louise Campbell. Kähler Ceramics are now under Holmegaard as well.

But the most fun we had was this:

I just love swimming around in a huge tub o' balls - the kids and I discussed where we could actually have that many balls in our apartment?

GREEN

I've gone green. I'm a bit obsessed these days about everything having to be organic and healthy. I subscribe to aarstiderne, which is a company who bring me organic fruits and vegetables once a week. My cupboards and fridge are packed with everything organic. I spend every dime coming into our household on GREEN. Must take it easy on that. No need obsessing.

How green are you?

House Warming Package

I just received this wonderful surprise package from my sweet friend Domi, whose art I've blogged about before. She had said to me, that she wanted to send me the new issue of MILK magazine, with the special edition on kids rooms and oh I've been exited about getting my hands on this one!

She included the sweetest little notebooks for the 3 of us.....

....some lovely chocolate with awesome animals, a super vintage looking package of "bonbons" and....

....this amazing  rubber vase to slide on top of any type of bottle, glass or even jars! This was the best housewarming gift. Ever.

I am the luckiest girl, wouldn't you say?
