Dec 30, 2009 // The mandatory holiday post!

I would probably violate some unwritten blogging law if I don’t write one of these posts, so I better get mine done So… Christmas. Me and Markus went to his parents in Örnsköldsvik on the 22nd. Bus ride was crazy, the bus was totally crammed with people and outside we had a full-fledged blizzard going

Dec 19, 2009 // Home invaded by an ewok/floor mop/overgrown guinea pig

That’s Oggie, Camila’s shi-tzu.  Camila is going to Brazil in January so Oggie is going to stay with us while she’s gone. Oggie needs to get used to sleeping here and such, so yesterday we took him home with us and he stayed the night. He’s only 7 months old, still very much a puppy,

Nov 24, 2009 // Reindeer overdose

I’ve thought a lot about reindeer lately. It started with an exciting new project at work involving said animal (I’ll show you later when it’s done). The project hasn’t officially started yet but I already have a whole herd running around in my head. Waving their antlers around and pooping in the corners and what

Nov 15, 2009 // Self-appreciation

I saw this at Angelica’s site and decided to give it a go. It’s almost scary how easy it is to find faults and defects in ourselves, and how hard it can be to think up something good and positive. It’s like our brains are programmed to only remember the bad things and lock good

Nov 08, 2009 // Halloween 2009

I had a great Halloween, the best for many years actually We started with drinks and Guitar Hero at Johan’s place, then went out to a local bar/disco.

And I got the candy colours wrong. Jeez and meh. Anyway… HAPPY HALLOWEEN/SAMHAIN!! Have a great weekend everyone, with lots

Oct 16, 2009 // Dolling again

I’ve been MIA from the dolling community (i.e. the making of pixel dolls, read here if you need an explanation) for quite some time now. I tend to do that so it’s nothing unusual. It’s just a bit awkward coming back to the forums again and be all “Hi, remember me? No? Ok then.. *crawls

Oct 06, 2009 // First snow!

Yep, this Sunday the first snow fell here Most of it has melted again of course, it’s still another couple of weeks until it’s here for real. But it’s freezing here, and there’s already a thin layer of ice on the ponds in the valley, so it feels like winter already. I’m not complaining –

Sep 30, 2009 // Autumn walk

Thank you all for the encouraging words and good luck-wishes regarding the last post! I’m feeling much less insecure about the contest now. And voting starts tomorrow… *hint hint* Right now it’s the most beautiful time of the year if you ask me. All the trees and bushes are dressed in the most intense flaming

Sep 08, 2009 // Pretty ponies

I’ve added a new page to the pixelart section: Ponies!! I never played with dolls as a child, I didn’t like them, but I loved My Little Pony! I had like 80 of them + the Dream Castle and the Stable and a million other related stuff. I still have everything packed away in my
