I am kind of amazed by how much I manage to get done when Frida is sleeping. Today I finished a painting and the sofa pillows. And now I am posting this blog during lunch. She is still sleeping tight.

2011-11-17T06:14:00.000-08:00

Today I updated my site. This and this is new.

We went to Prinzessinnengarten this weekend. It's an urban gardening project at Moritzplatz here in Berlin, go there if you are in the neighbourhood. Cut your own herbs for a nice cup of tea in the outdoor café, or have a plate of food made from the vegetables in the garden.

My day, today.

2011-06-06T11:37:00.000-07:00

Me and my morning coffee.

On the bike, on my way to the studio.

Sandwich and croissant in a nice café.

 My little herbgarden outside the studio.

I am working on some illustrations I am going to mail to Lisabonn for the ILLUSTRARTE 2012. 

Gisi made us a delicious curry.

Biking home again. 

Just to remind myself where I live. 

I pass by this house every morning and every evening. It looks like it has been empty for several years. I'd love to have it and make a garden on the terrasse. 

At home Johnny made me koldskål, wonderful. 

 At last it's here! The rain, the lightning and the thunder. I have been waiting all day. The air smells so nice.
