Today I took down the christmas plates and rehung the frames. Tomorrow-I´ll clean out the rest of Christmas and give you more Everyday-reader-pictures.

I’m in our cottage. Finally having some down time.
I don’t know how you do it. Live in a house in the countryside and still be able to dress properly and brush your teeth every morning? I look, smell and feel like a skunk. Anyways Saturday night I worked. Finished the last jobs with a deadline before the holidays. I put on some great music, ate cake leftovers from Beppes B-day and found this around the house.

Carlos has found his spot. I loooove Carlos. Jens and Jenny must think I am nuts cause I’m so crazy about him. But this Carl beats all the others. Thank you!

I came up here a couple of days before the family. Me and my dad built and fixed things. It was great. Finishing stuff. This old plate rack found a place in the kids room.

I finally finished the photo wall in the bathroom. First time in my life I made a wall like this. Seems strange considering what I do for a living.

This old cardboard house we bought in Barcelona 5 years ago, it’s been totally abused but is still standing. Maybe tomorrow would be a good day to paint it a bit more?

Della chose a danish tree. And at night time it looks great but I can tell you during the day you see all hundreds of crazy kitsch things in it. The kids love it and then it’s ok for me.
(Ok but a bit hard for my design-wanting-heart).

And I am working on answering your questions!

Since we stopped shooting Fixa Rummet – I thought I would have oceans of time to catch up with friends and clean my home and do some go with the flow. But instead I was a busy little bee. It seems that for me there is no inbetween time. I work hard or I kind of leave town for total cocooning. But this was what happened before I left.

There is this sports kids show – Lilla Sportspegeln that has been on the tellie since I was a kid. It was always a dream going on that show taking part in their competition. Now my old dream came true. I had to compete against other tv hosts. It was hard cause I didn’t want to show how competitive I am but my competitive spirit completely took over. My husband laughed at me when I came home. Della joined me at the studios and truly cheered me on. We won! yaay.
Another day I got dolled up for a photoshoot at my home.
If you wondered so but of course I always look like perfect housewife while hanging about in my kitchen…

The kids been sick alot. All year nothing and suddenly the flu like once a week. During recovery on our way to the cinema we found this man. Love the hair!

I am actually trying to shoot my company at the restaurant B.A.R but I guess I was to high on life to realize what I was doing. What a great night with one of my dearest old friend and our hubbies. The food was so right up my alley. Grilled fish, sea food and oysters. Oh la la!

The day after me and Erik for once left our part of Stockholm – Södermalm for downtown. Loads of people buying xmas gifts. We went to the big warehouse NK -and hung there for like a half day. Without any purpose. It was great. Just looking a stuff and people. It never happens anymore. The simply hanging about without any plan. Love my kids but also love being without them.

I’m getting older for all I want for Christmas are candle holders.

The little one got bigger! 2 years. Wow! My little cutie pie.

I want this one as well!
In these images we both look like we sold the butter and lost our money as we say in Sweden.
I so need this strange autumn to be over with so I can do a fresh start next year.
Hopefully some snow and skiing will change everything.
