Thank you for waiting so patiently for manos shop! It's now online with most of the pieces from Mr Black & Mme Ochre as well as a few assorted items from manos shop. Happy shopping or viewing! More pictures on my flickr and on Camilla's flickr.

manos is open as usual, so I'll be spending the day there but later in the afternoon we might take the boat to Vaxholm. Here is Tyra's blog, she lives on an island just outside Vaxholm. Above is some pattern work I was playing around with a couple of years ...

Loyal Loot Log Bowl at manos Ok, bad news first... Or is it good news? There will be no tiles folks. I should have told you earlier, but the Tax Return swallowed the first half of my week... We'll bring you something nice instead, something hand made. And until that something ...

An exhibition of glass by Johanna Jansson opens today at Stockholm gallery The Glassery. These glass birch trees are 140-170 cm high. I think they're great! And here's some more great stuff: Buisjes en Beugels sommer collection including Redspottedpurple. Kid's Wear magazine. The Swiss Army Collection at Oh My Deer.

"wrapping paper flowers" Today is a working from home day, I usually try to fit one of these into every week. I eat a long big breakfast or, like today, go out for breakfast and after that the day is filled with admin, bookkeeping, updating web and blog etc etc. I ...

This past week has been crammed full of private views, celebrations, barbeques, a concert with Grus i Dojjan and yesterday my friend Lisa had put on her red clogs when me, my mum and Lisa went to see the exam show at Konstfack. We came at eleven but the show opened ...

Today, I had lunch in the shade of the big tree outside my workshop. The chair is from my mother's aunt. Anne paid me a visit some weeks ago and she sent lovely links from Finland: Savilintu and Liiviantalossa. I went to see Johanna Jansson's solo show at the Glassery that I ...

Mr Black mug manos is updated with the last pieces from the Mr Black & Mme Ochre series, I hope you find something you like! Camilla and I really got hooked on this collaboration and we're planning a continuation. It'll be in a while, but stay tuned.

I'm off to Rome for the weekend! It's a trip I'm making with my choir so we'll be performing concerts on Friday and Saturday evening (links to the concert churches). I'll be back on Monday and that's when this weeks manos orders will be sent out - as well ...

It's been a really lovely last few days and I'm pleasantly tired now but hanging in there as they're showing "Lost in Translation" on TV. Camilla and I had planned to put the exhibition together on Wednesday and just have small alterations to do on Thursday. So on Wednesday at ...

Välkomna på vernissage på manos torsdag 24 april kl 16-19. Vi bjuder på vin och choklad! Hitta hit.

Packaging with a stick, but not any old stick - it's from the apple trees on the golf course. Överjärva Gård used to have apple orchards there and when the golf course was built a few trees of different species were saved. I only pick up the branches that has ...

I usually pass Slussen tube station several times a week and there I see Hillevi Hultman's embroidered drawings on the walls. I didn't know who they were by until I stumbled over a picture on the brinkworth snow show (a really nice site). The image above is called "Conscience" but ...

The past week has been so filled with experiences it feels more like a month. A very good month! Above is a view from Saturday lunchtime in the mountains. Camilla has come and gone, here she is working on our collaborative pieces - the more we work on them the more ...

Mmm, this afternoon I'm getting on the bus to go skiing for a few days. I look forward even to just sitting on the bus, not being able to do very much. manos will be open as usual and on Saturday Eva's mom will be selling her home baked crisp ...

This morning I read about an exhibition at Medelhavsmuseet, showing photographs of architecture from the Eastern Black Sea region. It was the picture of the houses that caught my eye, but then I read more on their website. It says in the press text that "whether the houses are built 150 ...

The Easter market has been two contrasting weather days - a wet, windy and snowy Saturday followed by a glorious Sunday, everyone was just so much happier today! Or perhaps it was because I had these two charming witches to help me guide people to me? I could have sold my ...

Merci bien for your kind words and comments on manos! I'm just enjoying all this so much, it feels like things are falling into place and it feels really inspiring. I guess you've seen Camilla's preview of our collaboration? We're having so much fun with it!! I'm struggling with the large ...

The private view on Wednesday evening was better than I could have hoped - lots of happy people and they seemed to have planned to spread out their attendance over the evening so that it was a steady flow from start to end. Amazing! I had such a lovely time ...

Tomorrow is opening night for manos and I'm almost ready for it! See some glimpses on flickr. It feels good to have the log bowl from Loyal Loot to hold on to and Daniel's ceramics looks absolutely lovely in the sunshine.
