new years eve is approaching and i’m going to a gangster theme new years eve party…only i’m not sure what women gangsters wear?? i ended up with this, which i think hints to 1920’s italien womens wear…the lovely hair band is made by brinja and the bag is a second hand buy.

also wanted to wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR and thank you for your sweet comments and your interest in my blog this past half year. it really means a lot! hope you have a great leap into 2009 - see you next year!

this christmas i got a lot of great but also very practical presents(because practical things were listed on my wishing list). except for two of them: a beautiful 50’s mirror from niller, that i’ll show you as soon as it is hung on the wall, and this little wooden bird i got from a friend. it is designed by the danish architect Kristian Vedel in 1959. the head is not joined to the body, so you can place it differently according to your mood. i like it!

it has become a bit of an obsession for me to take pictures when i’m driving in a car. these images are taken the 26. on the way to a family christmas dinner.

what i hope will be the final version of the fox drawing i did a sketch of about a week ago. hope you all had a great christmas. mine was just how i hoped it would be. a lot of good food, visiting family and playing games.

for some time now i have been working on a series of illustrations to be exhibited in brinjas shop on islands brygge - brinja københavn. i made this little display to see how they look together…i would say it needs more red. must.stop.using.mint.green.

yesterday before everything went all christmasy we went for a walk in the nearby woods to get some fresh air. in denmark we don’t have that much virgin forest, so like most forests this one was a plantation. a highpoint however was a very old and impressive looking oak tree which really stood out againt the surrounding pines. i wish we had more of this type of woods.

so allthough i told myself to have a break from blogging over the christmas i already find it hard not to. i have always liked my parents house, my childhood home. it’s a cool but not very big house with a lot of light and space in spite of it’s size. now i have to decorate the christmas tree - one of my favorite parts!

note: it’s my brother playing the bass

just wanted to wish you all a very merry christmas and a great new year! i have now arrived at my parents house on the mainland. from now on it’s all good food, good company and relaxation. took the image this morning at about 7.30 am. that’s the beauty of short days and late sunrise. i get to see it too : )

saturday night niller and i decided to go in the footsteps of our neighbours who had the perfect recipe for a good night out. we started out eating some decent burgers and then went to catch a movie. we saw the brilliant wim wenders film “paris,texas” and afterwards drank a beer in one of my favorite bars bo-bi bar. it’s an old place with a lot of character and historic atmosphere.
