and the winner of the blog birthday giveaway is elin !! and also a little bit gracia and kristina - no penny for them.
it was hard only to have one winner, so i have drawn two second prize winners as well, who will recieve a couple of prints.

randoms

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

some random photos from the apartment i took today. i feel like breaking my habit when it comes to taking photos. i always tend to take very static and no-people-in-sight photos (well you probably have noticed by now). : ) i really want to expand my photographic vision and choice of subject..we’ll see how it goes!

thanks for your sweet comments to my previous post. you are the best blog readers!

sunny saturday

Saturday, April 24th, 2010

it’s the most beautiful sunshine today, so i started the day with a nice little walk around my neighbourhood. spring makes me long for a garden. i find working with plants such a relaxing thing to do. my substitute garden you can see in the second photo, i have been planting herbs - basil, coriander, rosmary and thyme, my favorites. i know that having them indoors probably means they won’t live very long but that’s okay.

oh almost forgot to mention the baby hats in the last picture. i found some nice alpaca yarn a while ago and i’m not sure i can ever go back. it’s incredibly soft and very nice to work with. anyway after making the two first hats i had to make another two with this yarn. i put two small pom poms on the blue one, never knew knitting could be so much fun - it’s a whole new world to me : )

enjoy your saturday everybody!

ocean view and hats

Friday, April 9th, 2010

saw this beautiful tree reflextion on my way to work yesterday. and you might recognize these red branches from a couple of posts back. they are now wearing small green leaves.

have a great weekend everyone!

easter

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

i’ve been out of the loop for more than a week. don’t know what happened. from today and almost a week ahead i’m on easter holiday - feels great!

pictures from my grandmother’s kitchen and from at home. i got the red spring branches from her garden.

thanks for all your comments lately! i really appreciate it. and i’m glad to know i’m not the only pancake fanatic out there : ) ops just realized i’m posting a lot of red photos these days.

happy easter folks!

pancakes

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

if only i could eat pancakes every day…

the first photo is of a parking space tag of some sort (seen in oslo). second photo is of the last two remaining pancakes from the pile of pancakes i made this sunday. oh well, two pancakes on a monday isn’t half bad. : )

i really enjoyed NE’s chess tournament photos yesterday. as several of you noted their concentration is almost palpable - thanks for sharing NE!

i hope you’ve had a good start to the week!
