Some of my work is now available on the German market throw this website!
20130513 Things are going my way again....it seem like. Two kilns are running, sun is shining, no preschool-planning-day tomorrow and fantastic help from Lovisa in my workshop. Im crossing fingers nothing will desturb the flow:)
20130506
Monday morning now and I have a mess in my workshop...ceramic on the way into the kiln stands on hold. There is not much spare room left...things all over! The kiln is broken, Im waiting for a spare part... Tomorrow I will get a new (the second one) kiln to work with. This will hopefully make the work move smoother:) Im really looking foreward!!
Hello everyone, now in april I have 15% off in my webshop http://shop.textalk.se/en/shop.php?id=32421
HAPPY SPRINGTIME!! Take the opportunity to shop to a good price:).jpg)
Wanted to show you the process of how I make the Byrackacup.
Its made in 3 layers of colors and glace. First a painted layer of black (in this case) making the colour of the dog or cat. Then the figure, cut in paper, will be put on. I wet the paper and slip it on, it stays on the cup and I can paint the second layer of colour. Now it all has to be put down and left to dry. Dry enough to to be able to hold in hand and I can pull the paper off and there the figure appears!! Now the eyes and nose will come on. This is as well as the other colours that I paint, a liquid clay with colour inside. After this I scratch marks for claws and the shape of the figure. Now its beeing left to dry completly and I can then put it in the kiln for a first birning. Taking it out and glacing it in a tranparent glace and putting in a second birning in 1080 degrees . This gives it the shiny surface and the bright colours. Its ready to be used! ................... 
20130412 Snow again....its truly april weather here today:) My work do not feel the change of weather...Im waiting for my new kiln that shall be put into a new space in the workshop. This will make me and my workingmate Lovisa faster and better in delivering!! The new rolling shelf is already in place....and I really feel that my workshop has made a jump in the right direction! Larger. Better. Easier....Im thrilled!!

20121211 Hello you! Chrismastime is all around, and for me ( as for most of us i suppose) its lots to do and shop and just enjoy!! Days are here filled with work of different kind! Im planning for FORMEX already. This year its gonna take place 17-20 january. Please meet me there. My stand is B 05:38. Ill be bringing new pieces this year, not only ceramic, but also new companions to my DOT family ...a teatowel, a tablecloth and more. Im really exited to show you this : ) Right now I try and finnish what I have in my workshop, cups, cups cups...
20121031 Im right now working on a WEBSHOP here on this homepage! This will make it much easier for any of you to find things you might look for and shop directly on sight.
20121007 Here above - my ceramic now to buy in FRANCE at www.lamaisondannag.com. Anna has had a much visited blog for some years, telling about and showing nordic design and homeinteriors. Reacently she started this shop, also this with only nordic designers!
20121007 Pots with many colours is now something Im trying out. This one for instance is a really large one. Smaller ones in different colour combinations is on the way... or rather still in my mind. I have some work to finnish first:) Futher down is my work of today. Decorating eggcups and "Little Rose" pots! Also my little "Pet" pots will get their gray coats!! Today is a good day:)
20120925
Today rain...yesterday fantastic sunshine. Its still september and the climate is mild and lovable:) The very last flowers are still hanging on ...looking a bit tired perhaps. We tried the american blueberries only a week back...they were really sweet and better than I had expected. Our blueberrybuch is perhaps two years by now and ten berries we could tast:) The artichokeseeds that I put down in early february has not given any fruit, but become beautiful plants though. They need a better summer and a sunnier spot to grow!! Today and any minute now, Ill be starting up in the workshop.....throwing small cups that will be put together this afternoon, becoming "Little Rose". For one Little Rose there are four small cups...so I think Id better get started:)
20120909 For so many years now these ANIMALCUPS has been a product Ive sold manymany. First ( 15 years from now) when I got my beloved Wilma, a mixed breed dog ...also the first mug was born! I started selling them on dogshows and people wanted more and more their own breed. So over the years they have changed a lot..from straydogs, making some breeddogs like Dachshound and an Afgan dog for example. Then I realized that there were many catlovers out there and 2 cats came along. Then a trotting hourse and a gallopping one and finally the rabbit joined the family. Now I have a mix of them all. Still loving to make them, since i get so much nice feedback:) The beigh one here below is a wolfhound, a very special dog to me!!Price, if you want to buy, is 195:- + freight. Give me a mail to order! Right now three different ones of the Byrackacups are to buy at PEDLARS.uk.com
A picture of me stiring glace today, to small baskets making it all very messy! And i ts not really a favorite task in the workshop!!
20120824 Last week I visited The FORMEX fair, not partisipating this time, but only looking and enjoing. The Oddbirds girls had made a lovely dining area. See below... I wich for this table with tiles for the greenhouse that Im planning at the moment and If I can get the sweet wallpaper up on my kitchenwall I would be really pleased (and surprised since there is no extra time for this at all at the moment) On my way home I had a quick look to see how my small pots ( Designtorget-shop at the centralstation in Sthlm) were doing. On the picture just here below show how happy I am to have the grapes soon ready just outside the window of my workshop. Siri, my 7 year old, already started bringing them to school for their fruitmoment every day. We will see if there are any left when I find them ready to eat:)
20120820 Today school starts around here..that means things are going back to normal. And I like it! After a long day on the throwingwheel, 50 new cups and some bowl are seeing daylight for the first time:) My hands feels veryvery soft...on the inside that is. The outside only gets rougher for every day.
20120807 In my workshop a small makeover is taking place. Trying to fit in more shelfs for storege and a new table with fantastic drawers is now swallowing all different coloured sheets, that Ive had in a mess for a long time!! Im happy...and pleased with my work. Now starts the real potters-work though! For the autumn I will also get a bit of help with my production. This I look foreward to and I hope it will make me able to deliver in time as planned.
20120706 Im now back home after a holiday trip through Europe.... through 12 countries: How does that sound? Anyway the countries nowadays are much smaller than before (that is around former jugoslavia!) and with DVD for the children it all worked out well! A bit tired though and longing for clay and workshop! Ive heard about the rainy weather here at home and that is nothing that we have suffered...but must say that the 35 degrees every day made me dizzy and slow. At nighttime and early mornings the true relaxtion was there. Here comes some pictures showing a little bit of Macedonia, where we spend most of our time!

Mine isnt...and I like it so. Anyway no neighbour can keep me from looking after my new coming plants. Just saw that the aspargus is on the way up.

20120418 In the kitchen new plants are on the way. This year I try artichoke...difficult one,! But if I think of it as a beautiful plant and not something that shall feed me in the end of summer, I can enjoy them with or without the tasty fruit/flower:) Spring...I love it, everything is still possible!!............................................................................................
20120327 Easter is around the corner and Ive tried to bring eggcups and chickens to reach shops in good time before the holiday. Its a short time to celebrate...but usually happy days I think!! This collection is heading for Fria Former in Vetlanda!!

This is a store, or rather plenty of stores now a days, were small companies (like myself) together with larger firms, can sell products over a period of time. Selling frequence and topicality tells how long it will be. So good luck now my small pots....going to 3 stores in Stockholm. One of them quite new and located at the central trainstation!

20120123 Im now home from Formex and many thrilling new meetings and fun days. Here is a glimps from my booth and the presentation of my ceramic there.
I finnished all the chickens and eggcups and could bring several of each in different colours. The little pink one was picked out already the first day, to be photed for the Family Living magasine and yet two other light pink pieces, was collected later on. Also to be photed for a magasine ( Sköna hem). From this we can learn that light pink is the colour for the season :-) And I can feel good that I also thought so!
My hens and cocks had some troubles on the way to the fair. The Cock I had to leave out after I had destroid the colours of him in kiln the very last night. The three hens ended up in two ones left...or rather one and a half. Since the golden coloured and largest of them, got o hole on the backside during glacing. This is not visable from the frontside and I can proudly announce that she got a model job for the magasine Dagens Industri and can be seen there already this week!! ( - Well done my beautiful golden bird!) Some bowls also was presented in the entrencehall of Formex in the beautiful exibition there by Synnöve Mork.
Alltogether I successful fair ones there!!
20120111 8 days left for Formex. Kiln is just about to be put now this morning...as most of the days this last week! Im thrilled about making this new collection of pots for easter. Exiting and challenging! My Håkan and I have also been busy doing a new big "woody" table and benches for the boot on the fair. These heavy pieces will probably be well working in my garden later on this year :) I hope!! ...........
20110102 FORMEX-fair is coming closer (19-22 january) www.formex.se and Im preparing for news. News like an easter collection. Dreaming of hens and chickens and would love to bring a colourful cock as well. If I succed...time will tell:) So far Im giving you here a glimps of my new little chickenpot and eggcups!! Hope to see you at Formex when I will present the whole collection . My position is B 11:50. )))))

20111211 JULFORM at Röhsska has started and both ceramics and earrings are in place:) Here is a lot to see and bye. The knitted scarf Im wearing, for instance, comes from Knätofs. I bought it myself a year ago, but here you can try and buy all their fun, practical and warming textiles. I recommend!! The tray above comes from Fine Little Day / Elisabeth Dunker.
20111208 Yesterday I cracked one large servingplate in the kiln! Offcause the best one of the 3 I had finnished :) ...this is a resault of me rushing things a bit to much these days!! Anyway also a lot of pieces comes out OK! If you are looking for small pots with lid I have plenty for JULFORM tomorrow and Byracka cups also in plenty! It will be a christmas market with lots of colour and GOLD accually! I got hold of a new golden coloured decal the other day, beautiful it is and fitting the holiday perfect! Fitting also my pots perfect:))
friday 9 dec - sunday 11 dec Ill be with my ceramics at JULFORM at Röhsska museum in Gothenburg. Opening-times are friday 16-19 and saturday and sunday 11-17. This seem to be a very fun event with lots of special designs and handcrafts! Please join:)
20111122 In my 2 daughters rooms ceramics play an important part ....offcause. Little Tora, only 16 mounths, already have a large collection of "only-one-sock-in-this-colour"..where are the other ones? I collect them all in and around this large bowl! In 6 year old Siris room, the Flowerpots have got a different task. Scissors, pens and odd little things usually stay inside them!
20111116 www.twentytwentyone.com is a new shop for me! Today I sent a hole lot of pots there. If you live close to London you can now see and buy my ceramics on spot! This shop is the first shop in England for me and Im happy to say so. Also the store seem to have lots of other nice ...things! (My english sometimes cant express enough:)) Youd better check the store yourself here above!
20111111 Mate-cups beeing made, a glimpse from the workshop!
Handle is coming on to the cup.
20111110 Tomorrows date has special numbers " 111111 " Im not getting married and I wount give birth to a baby, should have looked nice otherwise!! Have to think of something else to fix to this good-looking-date....
On monday anyway, at the 14:th of november a new exibition is taking place at SKÖVDE MUSEUM. "Do it yourself" about handmade pieces of textiles and woods in the past. Looking interesting I can tell, from seeing it beeing put together. I have my ceramic to sell in the entrence of the museum during a period ahead! So yesterday I placed it there and could also see the different handcraft things come in place in the museumhalls! Now I have to go back to my Byracka-cups in workshop!!!!!!!
.jpg)
20111102 In my workshop today...burning Byrackacups (those with dogs and cats:)) Im also making familymembers, on the wheel today is "Tom", arms will be put on this afternoon! I hope he can wait:))
20111102 So... its november! My mangold was cut some time back and I even tried it in a pie! Very good really!! Many of our apples will unfortunatly have to be thrown away, but still a hole lot of them are eaten! Pies offcause and I put plenty of apples in a bin out on the sidewalk outside our garden. In a day or two all them are gone! Taking care of apples from 5 trees alone is not really possible! Next year Ill try to do applejuice from some...will be interesting!! Only need to find a Cider-maker. If anyone knows where to go Im all ears!!
.jpg)
20111013 Cold, very cold, but refreshing air outside! In my workshop though, its warmer but the air is also not at all as refreshing. I just bought new glaces and right now its time to blend and stir and ....Im happy that glaces these days are without lead! In earlier days potters did not allways live very long. A cloud with lead in it, from stiring a new glace, was not the best air to breath... The blending and mixing today still takes lots of time. Time that I never seem to have... I dont ever count with it! Its lots easier to feel satisfied with something just thrown on the weel or pieces finnished and standing shiny and new on the bench! Well, Im still not finnished and some happines (I know) will come when glacing the first pots in a large bucket, filled to the brim, with new glace.
200110928 Now I have my catalogue finnished and Im so pleased to be able to offer one to anyone interested! Ill try and do one as a pdf soon so that you can look at it also here in the computor!!
The very sunny days, like down here with the kids, is gone now! Im still spending time in my garden though...will plant garlic in a few days, and dreaming about the greenhouse that maybe will come up next year. Well Ive had this plan probably for 10 years ..but soon, very soon it might come true!! Right now anyway, is time for putting MATEmugs into the kiln and I should hurry up to do this!
20110916 Ive been taking lots of pictures lately, something that Im not very good at really!! Getting better anyway and the best ones are for my new catalogue that will be finnished in a week or so! Let me know if you are interested and Ill send you one:)
.jpg)
20110831 I brought my birdies out in the nature:) They seem to like it, dont you think!?
20110721 Summertime, summermorning, summerlight... we have new gravel outside our house . Today I put my new dot/arrow-pots on top of it. Small pot ( for plants or as bowl for your personal things) Price 195:- /each. Order by sending me a mail!! Combine colours, dots and arrows as you like!
20110716 Now soon i will be able to spend more time in the workshop again. My little Tora is starting preschool in august and if it functions well, I can work more futher on! Now in juli I try and finnish things for the NYIGF. So thrilling to be a part of this fair in NewYork. Together with other brands Ill be a part of a booth that Fromsthlm has. The fair is taking place august 13-18 th. www.nyigf.com
20110616 Lots of Dotmugs and "Byrackor" are now filling up my workshop. Tomorrow Ill be off to Gotland, delivering them all. A short, but nice, trip over the weekend with my sister, mother and our children!! So once home again Ill probably have got inspiration enough to start again with new things. I love Gotland and the feeling this island gives me!
20110601 Today feels slightly better! A cold with cough and running nose is keeping me from beeing effective! Alvedon (pills) - is anyway the best way through it though! Now I have only a few weeks left before the trip to Gotland, this is a trip I do each year and sell some of my ceramic at Etelhem. See www.etelhemskrukmakeri.se !Down beow is a picture of my second MOR (The Family-pots), with a darker dress!
!
20110521 Today is saturday and I try not to spend too much time in the workshop, even though there is allways things to look after. Right now Byracka cups. Yesterday was a day with a bit of sun and I toke some new photos of pots that are just about to leave, in the sun outside. The gray colour is so ..working in all situations it seem, and yellow is right now the perfect companion. Sun, sun sun give me more!!
.jpg)
Spending time watching football!
20110503 I put my tulips from the garden inside! They look so nice ....like thin umbrellas and has the dubble size from the ones I buy in the shop!
I have at the moment easter-open in my workshop here in skövde.
Feel wellcome between 11-16 all easter-days until monday!
Selling out things that has been too long on the shelfs and showing news! Please come for a look and have som candy and easter-softdrink!! Sun is shining here today and I can see plenty of people walking and enjoing the holiday!!
20110412 Its been such a wonderfully warm day today. I started my day out on the "weel" making small pots with lid. Before Hakan goes to work I can get an hour or so of work. During the day we have been both in and outdoor...temprature has been about 18 degrees and my little Tora has explored the garden...with her fingertips. Picking up small pieces and felt the sand and soil and dry grass. I have to keep an eye at her ofcause, almost everything would otherwise end in her stomach! Tomorrow I will get some new help in my workshop. Ive serched for someone to help up with all sorts of things. Now when Im late with delivering this will feel extra good. Looking foreward to some company aswell, can be a nice change!
20110324 Its friday and my week of work is almost to end. A little now and then I can spend time in my workshop, mostly mornings, before Hakan goes to work and sometimes during Toras sleep! I do what I can, slowly stoneware-pots are beeing finnished and family-pots decorated. Im pleased. As you perhaps can understand from my words here, Im home with a baby and trying my best to work as well. Yes, I know its a bad idea, but ive really tried to get someone to babysit for me...but i should need to give it one more try perhaps!! She is a sweetheart my little Tora and right now we are about to go out in the sun. She tried the swing on the playground for the first time earlier this week and she loved it! So we better get going ...ceramic has to wait until later!
20110320 This is my new product for Sagaform! Teapot BLOSSOM. Its a pot that goes with the earlier cups - tulip, clover and daisy (fall/winter 2010)
20110312 Hello, hello ...hello!! I hope you are still with me and that I am not totally forgotten! Yesterday I ended my long thailand-vacation with my family, and we are now home on solid ground again!! Its a gray and cold Skövde to come home to. I sure hope its not long until the sun and warmth is here. Its so easy to get used to that kind of weather! Anyway Ive been homesick for a while and looking foreward to get out to my workshop and start up with things. There is a lot to do and Im exited about getting started!!
20110125 http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/02f6e86c?page=12 See here my new design for SAGAFORM! The teacups TEA has got a teapot BLOSSOM. Was presented at Formex now and is to see in their catalog for spring/summer!
.jpg)
20110123 So we are home from Formex fair. Its been some very intensive and fun days. Im giving you here just a picture from my (quite simple) stand and also some pictures from my new designs. The pots for flowers or different kind of fillings are new and comes in 3 sizes. The smallest one is perfect for herbs and small plants , but I think of them also as bowls, just as much. The large ones are useable in the kitchen for large tools for instance..or for what ever you have a need to fill them with. The shape is so simple that they are multifunctional. Im very happy for them myself and I hope you can see them in your home too! :)
I also made some new members and clothes for "the Family" pots. The family is growing and you will get some more and better pictures futher on. The thing is that Im now off for a holiday and will have a break for a while. When Ill be back, there will be new informations! See you soon:))
From swedish television right at the start of the fair on thursday morning!! See here:

20110116 Only a few days left until Formex and my kiln is on every night for different reasons. Now the decals (dots for instance) has to be done! Im trying out some new shapes and colours for my flowerpots and "Familjen" pots. I seem allways to have lots still to do, when you should think that time has run out already. Stressing?? Yes, but great fun!!
20110102 SPRINGish....The dotmugs at NUNCinredning ( photo from there) ! So nice with herbs inside ...and easy to move around. To the kitchentable maybe?
20101222 Snow is so deep...and another decimeter has been falling during the night! Its a nice picture for sure, but hard and deep to get through! Ill keep feeding the birds and I can also see them eat from all the apples that are still on the trees in our garden. Happy that the fruit finally came to use, we have had so many apples this year!
20101217 This was the look of the christmas-market at our local culturehouse, the 11:th of december. There was plenty of people all day and this picture was taken when it was time to go home! Katarina Hamilton is looking at Byracka-cups. She sold her postcards on the stand next to mine. It was a real nice day with many meetings!!
20101210 Here are some pictures from my new colours and designs of bowls and pots!
20101209 On saturday, dec 11:th, Ill be at JULSTÄMNING at our local culturehouse/library in Skövde! From 10-16 it is. If you are close by, please come and look. Its usually a cosy and fun event. Lots of things to do also for children! Ill be bringing lots of ceramics offcause and you can buy all sorts of things!
20101208 Wintertime and snow..lots of snow. Tomorrow iIl be off to Gothenburg to gether with friends from school. There will be glögg, talking and ceramics in a mix! Its so nice to meet up with old friends, Im really looking foreward to this. In my workshop these days Im busy filling up with new bowls, flower-pots, candleholders for both christmas, and later on for Formex fair, as well. Also at least one new pot-member for " the family", my pots with lid, is slowly showing up! It seem to be a real sweetie!! Maybe he will also get more friends before this year is to end! Who they will be you will see in january! :-)
Down below is my flowerpot in both winter and indoor-appearence!

20101120 Vad sägs om Siris självporträtt!? Fötterna i bekvämaste jympadojorna och charmigaste leendet för kameran. Så såg hon ut en sommardag i augusti. Skönt att tänka på nu i novemberkylan att dom var så varma dagarna då och kvällssolen så skön!
Sorry, that all came out in swedish. This is anyhow a selfportrait from my 5 yearold Siri in august this year!!
20101114 Its still plenty of weeks until next Formex...but Im counting down already. Trying to fit in all that I want to do. Working at the moment on things for christmas now first, its not far until 1:st of december and I would like to join a local market then. Do not yet know what date, but its located inside our large culture/library-house here in Skövde and its allways a nice thing! Not so much selling perhaps, but a cosy atmosphere and fun to talk and see different kind of people.
Here a picture from Formex, about a year ago!!
20101028 Have you seen the competition at Designtorget? Its now ended up with 10 nominated new ideas/products for us to vote on!! Some real fun and functional new things...go there to see. I joined the competition with a small puzzle for children, the idea of puzzle is not very new I realize, so it didnt reach all the way! Probably it will be a new product from me, when Ive solved the production-issues! Ill let you know when I have it ready!!
20101008 Its now a bit colder, october and the days when I work with opened doors are not so many anymore! On the other hand its quite cosy and warm in my workshop. The ceramic-course with fun company on monday evenings is a nice thing! We are only 4 persons ...if im not counting my 5-year old Siri, who likes to join now and then! Daytime Im decorating birdpots at the moment. Ive been happy to have Lillemor to help me out, it takes lots of time this work! Ive just bought lots of new glase, that has to be mixed and ready to use. Days pass so quickly that I never seem to have hours enough! So now I have to get back to work, before my little baby-Tora wakes up from her morning-sleep!!
This is not ceramic - http://www.tv4play.se/nyheter/lokala_nyheter/skaraborg?videoId=1.1706323 - but please have look if you want to see our newborn little Tora at the hospital.
20100908 On monday the 13:th of september I will start a new ceramic course. As usual we meet between 18-21 and so far we are 3 persons + me. If you want to join us, please give me a call. There is place for 6 persons in total + me!
20100905 Here comes now a new plate for serving! The dot-decorated plate works fine on its own serving bred, cakes or salads! Goes also well together with the dot-mugs offcause (material and glace are the same - stoneware and white shiny glase!) Sizes are 20 cm wide/350:- or 26 cm wide/650:-. Dots can be ordered in 5 different colours, see colours on the dot-mugs below!

20100902 Now my work together with Sagaform has ended in a teacup "TEA". The three designs of the cup and the fine presentation of it can be seen in their catalog for the autumn. Go to www.sagaform.se and find the catalog there. Also I have been working together with Village earlier this year, see www.village.se for their catalog. See page 36 for a picture of it! A large plate with lime-spot-decoration!
20100827 To get a nice view of my workshop please have a look at Tiffanys blog at www.fromsthlm.com. I had her here for a visit the other week and she takes such beautiful and expressfull pictures! Tiffany sells my ceramic to retailers in USA. She is a lovely, warm person that likes swedish design, picking out what she likes the best! Here are 2 of her pictures!
20100819 Ive now started up a little of my production. Throwing DOTmugs mostly at the moment. I like it very much when the rutins get back to normal ( or close to normal now with my sweet little baby-Tora also to look after ), and I can spend time in my workshop, where I love to be!!
20100816 So its monday and Im back home from my trip to Formex and some fine days there! It was extremly hot, both inside and outside, but very interesting to walk around and meet up with people and get new inspiration! I could see my familjen (the family) pots beeing nominated for the Formex formidabel price 2010, as one of the 19 selected new products for the year! www.formex.se - go here to see all of the nominated products and have your own vote!
20100811 This monday I started to work a little in my workshop again. That is the time I get when my baby is asleep, this has been working out fine so far! Schools and kindergartens are slowly starting up again after the summer. So is also FORMEX, starting tomorrow on the 12:th of august! This time I will not have a stand, but Im taking the train tomorrow to get up there to be inspired and get time to walk around! This Im looking forward to very much!
20100720 Hello all of you, that has an eye also at the computor these sunny summerdays! I can tell that my family now has one more member..a fantastic little girl that we will probably name Thora. She arrived at the 4th of juli and makes my life very much concentrated on her offcause, at the moment . My other girl Siri has a summer vacation and days are as lazy as possible..with lots of time by the lake and in the shade.
A nice presentation of my work at a greek blog: http://www.decor8.gr/blog/?p=1502
See what has arrived in california ....and the state of the boxes that was sent over by boat!! (scrool down to June 30th) http://www.fromsthlm.com/blog
20100701 In Tokyo right now 20th Interior lifestyle where ARCO presents many Swedish products, incuding mine, from their shop!
20100630 Im walking around wagging from side to side and looking very much like a duck right now ..any day I should have a little baby! So right now my workshop will be at sleep for a while! Still Im doing the last of orders for the moment and will send a number of "dot-ceramics" tomorrow. This will probably be the last for a while!! Im planning to start as soon as possible in smaller scale...with a (hopefully) sweet and quite little baby by my side! Please dont hesitate to ask and give me your idea of what you perhaps would like to order. Some things I have in stock and with all the rest I will give you a deliveringtime, when I know better!
20100616 Time is 7.00 in the morning and the house is quite, Siri and Hakan is still asleep. Sun is shining and I think this is going to be a really nice day! Garden will have to be looked around in offcause and perhaps I will get time to put down my new plants of aspargus...this my never ending project! I never seem to really succed with it, once they have started growing Ive shanged place for them or they just dont like to grow. I can see such fantastic large plants in others gardens, how do they do it??
Right now Im in the middle of the production to Etelhem..that means "Byracka" my mug with dogs and cats! This together with decorating "sparformar" will be todays work. Perhaps I get some visits in my workshop...now these sunny days more people are out for a walk and comes by, this is allways a pleasant change!
20100607 Today its a bit more clowdy again and maybe I can concentrate a in my work. These last sunny days Ive just had to check how plants are growing... sit in the sun now and then and just get warm (and red!). Sweden has such few days of the year that is so really warm...one just cant miss the opportunities of SUN! Anyway in the workshop today...Ill glace both earthenware and stoneware. Lots of large plates and bowls it will be. Now I have also our little SPARFORM "moneybank" in production again with a perfect pink colour, this I am exited about since I have not been able to deliver it for about a year!
20100524 From now on I have a selection of ceramic for sale at www.arco-d.co.jp . Look under "återförsäljare" to see whats in their shop!
The picture down here show my pieces for the exibition Flower Power at gallery KHVC in Örebro. The exibition started the 22nd of may and ends at the 20th of june. Visit it at Konsthantverkscentrum Skepparegården, Wadköping!
20100518 Take a look at this fine blog www.winstonsroost.wordpress.com , where I last week was presented in such a nice way (11:th of may). Right now the girl who writes it just loves Owls...not to wonder perhaps then that i was mentioned!!
20100511 Familjen (the family) is now for sale at www.husetshop.com In a few weeks also, for the first time, in Osaka in Japan...exiting!!
Today is time for a bit of packing ceramics I think and probably also lots of time on the throwingwheel. The dotmug Ive recently started making in a small coffee-size, after I had a request for this. This makes it real sweet, the size is approx 8,5x7,5 cm and it comes in all colours just as the larger ones!
20100419 Here comes some spring/easter-pictures from me and my familys trip to Prag over easter! There were plenty of people but we had such a nice day up the hill in the sun and found a fun playground with (I think) old ceramic animals to play on for kids.
.jpg)
Are they not wonderful!?

20100331
I have now delivered to some new shops, maybe one of them close to where you live! It is KANEL in Nyköping, Haidic interiör in Skellefteå. This is Sweden offcause. Mischmasch in Limhamn has also just got new pieces for their shop! Lightplates as below for instance!!
20100331
Now I have made the little Ärla also in a pink colour. Makes her even sweeter and more "a girl" perhaps. Wanted to show you the eaglebaby that I have changed a little bit, his tail has become more like a handle, making him easier to grab and handle! Im now taking a short break over easter and going for a trip to Prag, maybe the sun is a bit more frequent there! I hope so! Have a nice and happy easter all of you, now is time for packing and resting for a while! ... Lets enjoy the spring!!
20100319 Snow is melting a bit faster at the moment and my short trip (30 m) to the workshop is less dangerous. It has been bumpy ice and snow on a very thin passage all winter, so that Im every day have had to hang on to the mirror of our car ...not to fall! Today is anyway time for Bodil dishes, that I threw on the weel yesterday. They will have to be taken care of, before they become too dry!!
20100315 Today I start sending my pots with Schenker! I hope this will make travel sfer and also cheaper for all of you that has has to pay the fraight. Time will tell! The last days I have had lots to do with partys for my little 5-year old Siri!! Friends from preschool got a little party here at home...with "pancake-tårta"! The part with eating worked out well, but I must say that I do understand all of them that has these partys outside home on different play-houses or at school. They are all so sweet, but keeping 5-year-olds organised is a difficult thing ...beleave me!! Now is anyway time for workshop, sun is shining and I feel fit for working, hoping to be able to send some more packedges this week. Delivering-time is a bit delayed now after the fair, but soon I will have most of your pieces in boxes to send!!

Some of my work is now available on the German market throw this website!
20130513 Things are going my way again....it seem like. Two kilns are running, sun is shining, no preschool-planning-day tomorrow and fantastic help from Lovisa in my workshop. Im crossing fingers nothing will desturb the flow:)
20130506
Monday morning now and I have a mess in my workshop...ceramic on the way into the kiln stands on hold. There is not much spare room left...things all over! The kiln is broken, Im waiting for a spare part... Tomorrow I will get a new (the second one) kiln to work with. This will hopefully make the work move smoother:) Im really looking foreward!!
Hello everyone, now in april I have 15% off in my webshop http://shop.textalk.se/en/shop.php?id=32421
HAPPY SPRINGTIME!! Take the opportunity to shop to a good price:)
Wanted to show you the process of how I make the Byrackacup.
Its made in 3 layers of colors and glace. First a painted layer of black (in this case) making the colour of the dog or cat. Then the figure, cut in paper, will be put on. I wet the paper and slip it on, it stays on the cup and I can paint the second layer of colour. Now it all has to be put down and left to dry. Dry enough to to be able to hold in hand and I can pull the paper off and there the figure appears!! Now the eyes and nose will come on. This is as well as the other colours that I paint, a liquid clay with colour inside. After this I scratch marks for claws and the shape of the figure. Now its beeing left to dry completly and I can then put it in the kiln for a first birning. Taking it out and glacing it in a tranparent glace and putting in a second birning in 1080 degrees . This gives it the shiny surface and the bright colours. Its ready to be used! ...................
20130412 Snow again....its truly april weather here today:) My work do not feel the change of weather...Im waiting for my new kiln that shall be put into a new space in the workshop. This will make me and my workingmate Lovisa faster and better in delivering!! The new rolling shelf is already in place....and I really feel that my workshop has made a jump in the right direction! Larger. Better. Easier....Im thrilled!!

Im planning for FORMEX already. This year its gonna take place 17-20 january. Please meet me there. My stand is B 05:38. Ill be bringing new pieces this year, not only ceramic, but also new companions to my DOT family ...a teatowel, a tablecloth and more. Im really exited to show you this : ) Right now I try and finnish what I have in my workshop, cups, cups cups...
20121031 Im right now working on a WEBSHOP here on this homepage! This will make it much easier for any of you to find things you might look for and shop directly on sight.
20121007 Here above - my ceramic now to buy in FRANCE at www.lamaisondannag.com. Anna has had a much visited blog for some years, telling about and showing nordic design and homeinteriors. Reacently she started this shop, also this with only nordic designers!
20121007 Pots with many colours is now something Im trying out. This one for instance is a really large one. Smaller ones in different colour combinations is on the way... or rather still in my mind. I have some work to finnish first:) Futher down is my work of today. Decorating eggcups and "Little Rose" pots! Also my little "Pet" pots will get their gray coats!! Today is a good day:)
20120925
Today rain...yesterday fantastic sunshine. Its still september and the climate is mild and lovable:) The very last flowers are still hanging on ...looking a bit tired perhaps. We tried the american blueberries only a week back...they were really sweet and better than I had expected. Our blueberrybuch is perhaps two years by now and ten berries we could tast:) The artichokeseeds that I put down in early february has not given any fruit, but become beautiful plants though. They need a better summer and a sunnier spot to grow!! Today and any minute now, Ill be starting up in the workshop.....throwing small cups that will be put together this afternoon, becoming "Little Rose". For one Little Rose there are four small cups...so I think Id better get started:)
20120909 For so many years now these ANIMALCUPS has been a product Ive sold manymany. First ( 15 years from now) when I got my beloved Wilma, a mixed breed dog ...also the first mug was born! I started selling them on dogshows and people wanted more and more their own breed. So over the years they have changed a lot..from straydogs, making some breeddogs like Dachshound and an Afgan dog for example. Then I realized that there were many catlovers out there and 2 cats came along. Then a trotting hourse and a gallopping one and finally the rabbit joined the family. Now I have a mix of them all. Still loving to make them, since i get so much nice feedback:) The beigh one here below is a wolfhound, a very special dog to me!!Price, if you want to buy, is 195:- + freight. Give me a mail to order! Right now three different ones of the Byrackacups are to buy at PEDLARS.uk.com
A picture of me stiring glace today, to small baskets making it all very messy! And i ts not really a favorite task in the workshop!!
20120824 Last week I visited The FORMEX fair, not partisipating this time, but only looking and enjoing. The Oddbirds girls had made a lovely dining area. See below... I wich for this table with tiles for the greenhouse that Im planning at the moment and If I can get the sweet wallpaper up on my kitchenwall I would be really pleased (and surprised since there is no extra time for this at all at the moment) On my way home I had a quick look to see how my small pots ( Designtorget-shop at the centralstation in Sthlm) were doing. On the picture just here below show how happy I am to have the grapes soon ready just outside the window of my workshop. Siri, my 7 year old, already started bringing them to school for their fruitmoment every day. We will see if there are any left when I find them ready to eat:)
20120820 Today school starts around here..that means things are going back to normal. And I like it! After a long day on the throwingwheel, 50 new cups and some bowl are seeing daylight for the first time:) My hands feels veryvery soft...on the inside that is. The outside only gets rougher for every day.
20120807 In my workshop a small makeover is taking place. Trying to fit in more shelfs for storege and a new table with fantastic drawers is now swallowing all different coloured sheets, that Ive had in a mess for a long time!! Im happy...and pleased with my work. Now starts the real potters-work though! For the autumn I will also get a bit of help with my production. This I look foreward to and I hope it will make me able to deliver in time as planned.
20120706 Im now back home after a holiday trip through Europe.... through 12 countries: How does that sound? Anyway the countries nowadays are much smaller than before (that is around former jugoslavia!) and with DVD for the children it all worked out well! A bit tired though and longing for clay and workshop! Ive heard about the rainy weather here at home and that is nothing that we have suffered...but must say that the 35 degrees every day made me dizzy and slow. At nighttime and early mornings the true relaxtion was there. Here comes some pictures showing a little bit of Macedonia, where we spend most of our time!
Here is a favorite of mine www.fikonbutiken.com they make the most wonderful small things of old textiles. See this example and you will find plenty more looking at their homepage!
20120506 My MATE mugs in the workshop! At the moment I have several of these finnished. Black ones to send immidietly if wanted:-) 250:- each. They are about 4 dl large and are perfect for tea or soap. Send me a mail to order!

Living close to others wouldnt be a problem if it wasnt for this! Today is the second day in a row he is cutting this same graas!!? Im sure its just about perfect now very soon. Mine isnt...and I like it so. Anyway no neighbour can keep me from looking after my new coming plants. Just saw that the aspargus is on the way up. These plants that Ive now had for shocking 8 years and they are still just to look at, but beautiful so. Maybe, maybe this year is the year to try them out. If they are big enough that is:)

Dont miss the openingday if you are nearby:)
20120418 In the kitchen new plants are on the way. This year I try artichoke...difficult one,! But if I think of it as a beautiful plant and not something that shall feed me in the end of summer, I can enjoy them with or without the tasty fruit/flower:) Spring...I love it, everything is still possible!!............................................................................................
20120327 Easter is around the corner and Ive tried to bring eggcups and chickens to reach shops in good time before the holiday. Its a short time to celebrate...but usually happy days I think!! This collection is heading for Fria Former in Vetlanda!!

This is a store, or rather plenty of stores now a days, were small companies (like myself) together with larger firms, can sell products over a period of time. Selling frequence and topicality tells how long it will be. So good luck now my small pots....going to 3 stores in Stockholm. One of them quite new and located at the central trainstation!

20120123 Im now home from Formex and many thrilling new meetings and fun days. Here is a glimps from my booth and the presentation of my ceramic there.
I finnished all the chickens and eggcups and could bring several of each in different colours. The little pink one was picked out already the first day, to be photed for the Family Living magasine and yet two other light pink pieces, was collected later on. Also to be photed for a magasine ( Sköna hem). From this we can learn that light pink is the colour for the season :-) And I can feel good that I also thought so!
My hens and cocks had some troubles on the way to the fair. The Cock I had to leave out after I had destroid the colours of him in kiln the very last night. The three hens ended up in two ones left...or rather one and a half. Since the golden coloured and largest of them, got o hole on the backside during glacing. This is not visable from the frontside and I can proudly announce that she got a model job for the magasine Dagens Industri and can be seen there already this week!! ( - Well done my beautiful golden bird!) Some bowls also was presented in the entrencehall of Formex in the beautiful exibition there by Synnöve Mork.
Alltogether I successful fair ones there!!
20120111 8 days left for Formex. Kiln is just about to be put now this morning...as most of the days this last week! Im thrilled about making this new collection of pots for easter. Exiting and challenging! My Håkan and I have also been busy doing a new big "woody" table and benches for the boot on the fair. These heavy pieces will probably be well working in my garden later on this year :) I hope!! ...........
20110102 FORMEX-fair is coming closer (19-22 january) www.formex.se and Im preparing for news. News like an easter collection. Dreaming of hens and chickens and would love to bring a colourful cock as well. If I succed...time will tell:) So far Im giving you here a glimps of my new little chickenpot and eggcups!! Hope to see you at Formex when I will present the whole collection . My position is B 11:50. )))))

20111211 JULFORM at Röhsska has started and both ceramics and earrings are in place:) Here is a lot to see and bye. The knitted scarf Im wearing, for instance, comes from Knätofs. I bought it myself a year ago, but here you can try and buy all their fun, practical and warming textiles. I recommend!! The tray above comes from Fine Little Day / Elisabeth Dunker.
20111208 Yesterday I cracked one large servingplate in the kiln! Offcause the best one of the 3 I had finnished :) ...this is a resault of me rushing things a bit to much these days!! Anyway also a lot of pieces comes out OK! If you are looking for small pots with lid I have plenty for JULFORM tomorrow and Byracka cups also in plenty! It will be a christmas market with lots of colour and GOLD accually! I got hold of a new golden coloured decal the other day, beautiful it is and fitting the holiday perfect! Fitting also my pots perfect:))
friday 9 dec - sunday 11 dec Ill be with my ceramics at JULFORM at Röhsska museum in Gothenburg. Opening-times are friday 16-19 and saturday and sunday 11-17. This seem to be a very fun event with lots of special designs and handcrafts! Please join:)
20111122 In my 2 daughters rooms ceramics play an important part ....offcause. Little Tora, only 16 mounths, already have a large collection of "only-one-sock-in-this-colour"..where are the other ones? I collect them all in and around this large bowl! In 6 year old Siris room, the Flowerpots have got a different task. Scissors, pens and odd little things usually stay inside them!
20111116 www.twentytwentyone.com is a new shop for me! Today I sent a hole lot of pots there. If you live close to London you can now see and buy my ceramics on spot! This shop is the first shop in England for me and Im happy to say so. Also the store seem to have lots of other nice ...things! (My english sometimes cant express enough:)) Youd better check the store yourself here above!
20111111 Mate-cups beeing made, a glimpse from the workshop!
Handle is coming on to the cup.
20111110 Tomorrows date has special numbers " 111111 " Im not getting married and I wount give birth to a baby, should have looked nice otherwise!! Have to think of something else to fix to this good-looking-date....
On monday anyway, at the 14:th of november a new exibition is taking place at SKÖVDE MUSEUM. "Do it yourself" about handmade pieces of textiles and woods in the past. Looking interesting I can tell, from seeing it beeing put together. I have my ceramic to sell in the entrence of the museum during a period ahead! So yesterday I placed it there and could also see the different handcraft things come in place in the museumhalls! Now I have to go back to my Byracka-cups in workshop!!!!!!!
20111102 In my workshop today...burning Byrackacups (those with dogs and cats:)) Im also making familymembers, on the wheel today is "Tom", arms will be put on this afternoon! I hope he can wait:))
20111102 So... its november! My mangold was cut some time back and I even tried it in a pie! Very good really!! Many of our apples will unfortunatly have to be thrown away, but still a hole lot of them are eaten! Pies offcause and I put plenty of apples in a bin out on the sidewalk outside our garden. In a day or two all them are gone! Taking care of apples from 5 trees alone is not really possible! Next year Ill try to do applejuice from some...will be interesting!! Only need to find a Cider-maker. If anyone knows where to go Im all ears!!
20111013 Cold, very cold, but refreshing air outside! In my workshop though, its warmer but the air is also not at all as refreshing. I just bought new glaces and right now its time to blend and stir and ....Im happy that glaces these days are without lead! In earlier days potters did not allways live very long. A cloud with lead in it, from stiring a new glace, was not the best air to breath... The blending and mixing today still takes lots of time. Time that I never seem to have... I dont ever count with it! Its lots easier to feel satisfied with something just thrown on the weel or pieces finnished and standing shiny and new on the bench! Well, Im still not finnished and some happines (I know) will come when glacing the first pots in a large bucket, filled to the brim, with new glace.
200110928 Now I have my catalogue finnished and Im so pleased to be able to offer one to anyone interested! Ill try and do one as a pdf soon so that you can look at it also here in the computor!!
The very sunny days, like down here with the kids, is gone now! Im still spending time in my garden though...will plant garlic in a few days, and dreaming about the greenhouse that maybe will come up next year. Well Ive had this plan probably for 10 years ..but soon, very soon it might come true!! Right now anyway, is time for putting MATEmugs into the kiln and I should hurry up to do this!
20110916 Ive been taking lots of pictures lately, something that Im not very good at really!! Getting better anyway and the best ones are for my new catalogue that will be finnished in a week or so! Let me know if you are interested and Ill send you one:)
20110831 I brought my birdies out in the nature:) They seem to like it, dont you think!?
20110721 Summertime, summermorning, summerlight... we have new gravel outside our house . Today I put my new dot/arrow-pots on top of it. Small pot ( for plants or as bowl for your personal things) Price 195:- /each. Order by sending me a mail!! Combine colours, dots and arrows as you like!
20110716 Now soon i will be able to spend more time in the workshop again. My little Tora is starting preschool in august and if it functions well, I can work more futher on! Now in juli I try and finnish things for the NYIGF. So thrilling to be a part of this fair in NewYork. Together with other brands Ill be a part of a booth that Fromsthlm has. The fair is taking place august 13-18 th. www.nyigf.com
20110616 Lots of Dotmugs and "Byrackor" are now filling up my workshop. Tomorrow Ill be off to Gotland, delivering them all. A short, but nice, trip over the weekend with my sister, mother and our children!! So once home again Ill probably have got inspiration enough to start again with new things. I love Gotland and the feeling this island gives me!
20110601 Today feels slightly better! A cold with cough and running nose is keeping me from beeing effective! Alvedon (pills) - is anyway the best way through it though! Now I have only a few weeks left before the trip to Gotland, this is a trip I do each year and sell some of my ceramic at Etelhem. See www.etelhemskrukmakeri.se !Down beow is a picture of my second MOR (The Family-pots), with a darker dress!
!
20110521 Today is saturday and I try not to spend too much time in the workshop, even though there is allways things to look after. Right now Byracka cups. Yesterday was a day with a bit of sun and I toke some new photos of pots that are just about to leave, in the sun outside. The gray colour is so ..working in all situations it seem, and yellow is right now the perfect companion. Sun, sun sun give me more!!
Spending time watching football!
20110503 I put my tulips from the garden inside! They look so nice ....like thin umbrellas and has the dubble size from the ones I buy in the shop!
I have at the moment easter-open in my workshop here in skövde.
Feel wellcome between 11-16 all easter-days until monday!
Selling out things that has been too long on the shelfs and showing news! Please come for a look and have som candy and easter-softdrink!! Sun is shining here today and I can see plenty of people walking and enjoing the holiday!!
20110412 Its been such a wonderfully warm day today. I started my day out on the "weel" making small pots with lid. Before Hakan goes to work I can get an hour or so of work. During the day we have been both in and outdoor...temprature has been about 18 degrees and my little Tora has explored the garden...with her fingertips. Picking up small pieces and felt the sand and soil and dry grass. I have to keep an eye at her ofcause, almost everything would otherwise end in her stomach! Tomorrow I will get some new help in my workshop. Ive serched for someone to help up with all sorts of things. Now when Im late with delivering this will feel extra good. Looking foreward to some company aswell, can be a nice change!
20110324 Its friday and my week of work is almost to end. A little now and then I can spend time in my workshop, mostly mornings, before Hakan goes to work and sometimes during Toras sleep! I do what I can, slowly stoneware-pots are beeing finnished and family-pots decorated. Im pleased. As you perhaps can understand from my words here, Im home with a baby and trying my best to work as well. Yes, I know its a bad idea, but ive really tried to get someone to babysit for me...but i should need to give it one more try perhaps!! She is a sweetheart my little Tora and right now we are about to go out in the sun. She tried the swing on the playground for the first time earlier this week and she loved it! So we better get going ...ceramic has to wait until later!
20110320 This is my new product for Sagaform! Teapot BLOSSOM. Its a pot that goes with the earlier cups - tulip, clover and daisy (fall/winter 2010)
20110312 Hello, hello ...hello!! I hope you are still with me and that I am not totally forgotten! Yesterday I ended my long thailand-vacation with my family, and we are now home on solid ground again!! Its a gray and cold Skövde to come home to. I sure hope its not long until the sun and warmth is here. Its so easy to get used to that kind of weather! Anyway Ive been homesick for a while and looking foreward to get out to my workshop and start up with things. There is a lot to do and Im exited about getting started!!
20110125 http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/02f6e86c?page=12 See here my new design for SAGAFORM! The teacups TEA has got a teapot BLOSSOM. Was presented at Formex now and is to see in their catalog for spring/summer!
20110123 So we are home from Formex fair. Its been some very intensive and fun days. Im giving you here just a picture from my (quite simple) stand and also some pictures from my new designs. The pots for flowers or different kind of fillings are new and comes in 3 sizes. The smallest one is perfect for herbs and small plants , but I think of them also as bowls, just as much. The large ones are useable in the kitchen for large tools for instance..or for what ever you have a need to fill them with. The shape is so simple that they are multifunctional. Im very happy for them myself and I hope you can see them in your home too! :)
I also made some new members and clothes for "the Family" pots. The family is growing and you will get some more and better pictures futher on. The thing is that Im now off for a holiday and will have a break for a while. When Ill be back, there will be new informations! See you soon:))
From swedish television right at the start of the fair on thursday morning!! See here:

20110116 Only a few days left until Formex and my kiln is on every night for different reasons. Now the decals (dots for instance) has to be done! Im trying out some new shapes and colours for my flowerpots and "Familjen" pots. I seem allways to have lots still to do, when you should think that time has run out already. Stressing?? Yes, but great fun!!
20110102 SPRINGish....The dotmugs at NUNCinredning ( photo from there) ! So nice with herbs inside ...and easy to move around. To the kitchentable maybe?
20101222 Snow is so deep...and another decimeter has been falling during the night! Its a nice picture for sure, but hard and deep to get through! Ill keep feeding the birds and I can also see them eat from all the apples that are still on the trees in our garden. Happy that the fruit finally came to use, we have had so many apples this year!
20101217 This was the look of the christmas-market at our local culturehouse, the 11:th of december. There was plenty of people all day and this picture was taken when it was time to go home! Katarina Hamilton is looking at Byracka-cups. She sold her postcards on the stand next to mine. It was a real nice day with many meetings!!
20101210 Here are some pictures from my new colours and designs of bowls and pots!
20101209 On saturday, dec 11:th, Ill be at JULSTÄMNING at our local culturehouse/library in Skövde! From 10-16 it is. If you are close by, please come and look. Its usually a cosy and fun event. Lots of things to do also for children! Ill be bringing lots of ceramics offcause and you can buy all sorts of things!
20101208 Wintertime and snow..lots of snow. Tomorrow iIl be off to Gothenburg to gether with friends from school. There will be glögg, talking and ceramics in a mix! Its so nice to meet up with old friends, Im really looking foreward to this. In my workshop these days Im busy filling up with new bowls, flower-pots, candleholders for both christmas, and later on for Formex fair, as well. Also at least one new pot-member for " the family", my pots with lid, is slowly showing up! It seem to be a real sweetie!! Maybe he will also get more friends before this year is to end! Who they will be you will see in january! :-)
Down below is my flowerpot in both winter and indoor-appearence!
20101120 Vad sägs om Siris självporträtt!? Fötterna i bekvämaste jympadojorna och charmigaste leendet för kameran. Så såg hon ut en sommardag i augusti. Skönt att tänka på nu i novemberkylan att dom var så varma dagarna då och kvällssolen så skön!
Sorry, that all came out in swedish. This is anyhow a selfportrait from my 5 yearold Siri in august this year!!
20101114 Its still plenty of weeks until next Formex...but Im counting down already. Trying to fit in all that I want to do. Working at the moment on things for christmas now first, its not far until 1:st of december and I would like to join a local market then. Do not yet know what date, but its located inside our large culture/library-house here in Skövde and its allways a nice thing! Not so much selling perhaps, but a cosy atmosphere and fun to talk and see different kind of people.
Here a picture from Formex, about a year ago!!
20101028 Have you seen the competition at Designtorget? Its now ended up with 10 nominated new ideas/products for us to vote on!! Some real fun and functional new things...go there to see. I joined the competition with a small puzzle for children, the idea of puzzle is not very new I realize, so it didnt reach all the way! Probably it will be a new product from me, when Ive solved the production-issues! Ill let you know when I have it ready!!
20101008 Its now a bit colder, october and the days when I work with opened doors are not so many anymore! On the other hand its quite cosy and warm in my workshop. The ceramic-course with fun company on monday evenings is a nice thing! We are only 4 persons ...if im not counting my 5-year old Siri, who likes to join now and then! Daytime Im decorating birdpots at the moment. Ive been happy to have Lillemor to help me out, it takes lots of time this work! Ive just bought lots of new glase, that has to be mixed and ready to use. Days pass so quickly that I never seem to have hours enough! So now I have to get back to work, before my little baby-Tora wakes up from her morning-sleep!!
This is not ceramic - http://www.tv4play.se/nyheter/lokala_nyheter/skaraborg?videoId=1.1706323 - but please have look if you want to see our newborn little Tora at the hospital.
20100908 On monday the 13:th of september I will start a new ceramic course. As usual we meet between 18-21 and so far we are 3 persons + me. If you want to join us, please give me a call. There is place for 6 persons in total + me!
20100905 Here comes now a new plate for serving! The dot-decorated plate works fine on its own serving bred, cakes or salads! Goes also well together with the dot-mugs offcause (material and glace are the same - stoneware and white shiny glase!) Sizes are 20 cm wide/350:- or 26 cm wide/650:-. Dots can be ordered in 5 different colours, see colours on the dot-mugs below!

20100902 Now my work together with Sagaform has ended in a teacup "TEA". The three designs of the cup and the fine presentation of it can be seen in their catalog for the autumn. Go to www.sagaform.se and find the catalog there. Also I have been working together with Village earlier this year, see www.village.se for their catalog. See page 36 for a picture of it! A large plate with lime-spot-decoration!
20100827 To get a nice view of my workshop please have a look at Tiffanys blog at www.fromsthlm.com. I had her here for a visit the other week and she takes such beautiful and expressfull pictures! Tiffany sells my ceramic to retailers in USA. She is a lovely, warm person that likes swedish design, picking out what she likes the best! Here are 2 of her pictures!
20100819 Ive now started up a little of my production. Throwing DOTmugs mostly at the moment. I like it very much when the rutins get back to normal ( or close to normal now with my sweet little baby-Tora also to look after ), and I can spend time in my workshop, where I love to be!!
20100816 So its monday and Im back home from my trip to Formex and some fine days there! It was extremly hot, both inside and outside, but very interesting to walk around and meet up with people and get new inspiration! I could see my familjen (the family) pots beeing nominated for the Formex formidabel price 2010, as one of the 19 selected new products for the year! www.formex.se - go here to see all of the nominated products and have your own vote!
20100811 This monday I started to work a little in my workshop again. That is the time I get when my baby is asleep, this has been working out fine so far! Schools and kindergartens are slowly starting up again after the summer. So is also FORMEX, starting tomorrow on the 12:th of august! This time I will not have a stand, but Im taking the train tomorrow to get up there to be inspired and get time to walk around! This Im looking forward to very much!
20100720 Hello all of you, that has an eye also at the computor these sunny summerdays! I can tell that my family now has one more member..a fantastic little girl that we will probably name Thora. She arrived at the 4th of juli and makes my life very much concentrated on her offcause, at the moment . My other girl Siri has a summer vacation and days are as lazy as possible..with lots of time by the lake and in the shade.
A nice presentation of my work at a greek blog: http://www.decor8.gr/blog/?p=1502
See what has arrived in california ....and the state of the boxes that was sent over by boat!! (scrool down to June 30th) http://www.fromsthlm.com/blog
20100701 In Tokyo right now 20th Interior lifestyle where ARCO presents many Swedish products, incuding mine, from their shop!
20100630 Im walking around wagging from side to side and looking very much like a duck right now ..any day I should have a little baby! So right now my workshop will be at sleep for a while! Still Im doing the last of orders for the moment and will send a number of "dot-ceramics" tomorrow. This will probably be the last for a while!! Im planning to start as soon as possible in smaller scale...with a (hopefully) sweet and quite little baby by my side! Please dont hesitate to ask and give me your idea of what you perhaps would like to order. Some things I have in stock and with all the rest I will give you a deliveringtime, when I know better!
20100616 Time is 7.00 in the morning and the house is quite, Siri and Hakan is still asleep. Sun is shining and I think this is going to be a really nice day! Garden will have to be looked around in offcause and perhaps I will get time to put down my new plants of aspargus...this my never ending project! I never seem to really succed with it, once they have started growing Ive shanged place for them or they just dont like to grow. I can see such fantastic large plants in others gardens, how do they do it??
Right now Im in the middle of the production to Etelhem..that means "Byracka" my mug with dogs and cats! This together with decorating "sparformar" will be todays work. Perhaps I get some visits in my workshop...now these sunny days more people are out for a walk and comes by, this is allways a pleasant change!
20100607 Today its a bit more clowdy again and maybe I can concentrate a in my work. These last sunny days Ive just had to check how plants are growing... sit in the sun now and then and just get warm (and red!). Sweden has such few days of the year that is so really warm...one just cant miss the opportunities of SUN! Anyway in the workshop today...Ill glace both earthenware and stoneware. Lots of large plates and bowls it will be. Now I have also our little SPARFORM "moneybank" in production again with a perfect pink colour, this I am exited about since I have not been able to deliver it for about a year!
20100524 From now on I have a selection of ceramic for sale at www.arco-d.co.jp . Look under "återförsäljare" to see whats in their shop!
The picture down here show my pieces for the exibition Flower Power at gallery KHVC in Örebro. The exibition started the 22nd of may and ends at the 20th of june. Visit it at Konsthantverkscentrum Skepparegården, Wadköping!
20100518 Take a look at this fine blog www.winstonsroost.wordpress.com , where I last week was presented in such a nice way (11:th of may). Right now the girl who writes it just loves Owls...not to wonder perhaps then that i was mentioned!!
20100511 Familjen (the family) is now for sale at www.husetshop.com In a few weeks also, for the first time, in Osaka in Japan...exiting!!
Today is time for a bit of packing ceramics I think and probably also lots of time on the throwingwheel. The dotmug Ive recently started making in a small coffee-size, after I had a request for this. This makes it real sweet, the size is approx 8,5x7,5 cm and it comes in all colours just as the larger ones!
20100419 Here comes some spring/easter-pictures from me and my familys trip to Prag over easter! There were plenty of people but we had such a nice day up the hill in the sun and found a fun playground with (I think) old ceramic animals to play on for kids.
Are they not wonderful!?
20100331
I have now delivered to some new shops, maybe one of them close to where you live! It is KANEL in Nyköping, Haidic interiör in Skellefteå. This is Sweden offcause. Mischmasch in Limhamn has also just got new pieces for their shop! Lightplates as below for instance!!
20100331
Now I have made the little Ärla also in a pink colour. Makes her even sweeter and more "a girl" perhaps. Wanted to show you the eaglebaby that I have changed a little bit, his tail has become more like a handle, making him easier to grab and handle! Im now taking a short break over easter and going for a trip to Prag, maybe the sun is a bit more frequent there! I hope so! Have a nice and happy easter all of you, now is time for packing and resting for a while! ... Lets enjoy the spring!!
20100319 Snow is melting a bit faster at the moment and my short trip (30 m) to the workshop is less dangerous. It has been bumpy ice and snow on a very thin passage all winter, so that Im every day have had to hang on to the mirror of our car ...not to fall! Today is anyway time for Bodil dishes, that I threw on the weel yesterday. They will have to be taken care of, before they become too dry!!
20100315 Today I start sending my pots with Schenker! I hope this will make travel sfer and also cheaper for all of you that has has to pay the fraight. Time will tell! The last days I have had lots to do with partys for my little 5-year old Siri!! Friends from preschool got a little party here at home...with "pancake-tårta"! The part with eating worked out well, but I must say that I do understand all of them that has these partys outside home on different play-houses or at school. They are all so sweet, but keeping 5-year-olds organised is a difficult thing ...beleave me!! Now is anyway time for workshop, sun is shining and I feel fit for working, hoping to be able to send some more packedges this week. Delivering-time is a bit delayed now after the fair, but soon I will have most of your pieces in boxes to send!!

Some of my work is now available on the German market throw this website!
20130513 Things are going my way again....it seem like. Two kilns are running, sun is shining, no preschool-planning-day tomorrow and fantastic help from Lovisa in my workshop. Im crossing fingers nothing will desturb the flow:)
20130506
Monday morning now and I have a mess in my workshop...ceramic on the way into the kiln stands on hold. There is not much spare room left...things all over! The kiln is broken, Im waiting for a spare part... Tomorrow I will get a new (the second one) kiln to work with. This will hopefully make the work move smoother:) Im really looking foreward!!
Hello everyone, now in april I have 15% off in my webshop http://shop.textalk.se/en/shop.php?id=32421
HAPPY SPRINGTIME!! Take the opportunity to shop to a good price:)
Wanted to show you the process of how I make the Byrackacup.
Its made in 3 layers of colors and glace. First a painted layer of black (in this case) making the colour of the dog or cat. Then the figure, cut in paper, will be put on. I wet the paper and slip it on, it stays on the cup and I can paint the second layer of colour. Now it all has to be put down and left to dry. Dry enough to to be able to hold in hand and I can pull the paper off and there the figure appears!! Now the eyes and nose will come on. This is as well as the other colours that I paint, a liquid clay with colour inside. After this I scratch marks for claws and the shape of the figure. Now its beeing left to dry completly and I can then put it in the kiln for a first birning. Taking it out and glacing it in a tranparent glace and putting in a second birning in 1080 degrees . This gives it the shiny surface and the bright colours. Its ready to be used! ...................
20130412 Snow again....its truly april weather here today:) My work do not feel the change of weather...Im waiting for my new kiln that shall be put into a new space in the workshop. This will make me and my workingmate Lovisa faster and better in delivering!! The new rolling shelf is already in place....and I really feel that my workshop has made a jump in the right direction! Larger. Better. Easier....Im thrilled!!

20121007 Here above - my ceramic now to buy in FRANCE at www.lamaisondannag.com. Anna has had a much visited blog for some years, telling about and showing nordic design and homeinteriors. Reacently she started this shop, also this with only nordic designers!
20121007 Pots with many colours is now something Im trying out. This one for instance is a really large one. Smaller ones in different colour combinations is on the way... or rather still in my mind. I have some work to finnish first:) Futher down is my work of today. Decorating eggcups and "Little Rose" pots! Also my little "Pet" pots will get their gray coats!! Today is a good day:)
20120925
Today rain...yesterday fantastic sunshine. Its still september and the climate is mild and lovable:) The very last flowers are still hanging on ...looking a bit tired perhaps. We tried the american blueberries only a week back...they were really sweet and better than I had expected. Our blueberrybuch is perhaps two years by now and ten berries we could tast:) The artichokeseeds that I put down in early february has not given any fruit, but become beautiful plants though. They need a better summer and a sunnier spot to grow!! Today and any minute now, Ill be starting up in the workshop.....throwing small cups that will be put together this afternoon, becoming "Little Rose". For one Little Rose there are four small cups...so I think Id better get started:)
20120909 For so many years now these ANIMALCUPS has been a product Ive sold manymany. First ( 15 years from now) when I got my beloved Wilma, a mixed breed dog ...also the first mug was born! I started selling them on dogshows and people wanted more and more their own breed. So over the years they have changed a lot..from straydogs, making some breeddogs like Dachshound and an Afgan dog for example. Then I realized that there were many catlovers out there and 2 cats came along. Then a trotting hourse and a gallopping one and finally the rabbit joined the family. Now I have a mix of them all. Still loving to make them, since i get so much nice feedback:) The beigh one here below is a wolfhound, a very special dog to me!!Price, if you want to buy, is 195:- + freight. Give me a mail to order! Right now three different ones of the Byrackacups are to buy at PEDLARS.uk.com
A picture of me stiring glace today, to small baskets making it all very messy! And i ts not really a favorite task in the workshop!!
20120824 Last week I visited The FORMEX fair, not partisipating this time, but only looking and enjoing. The Oddbirds girls had made a lovely dining area. See below... I wich for this table with tiles for the greenhouse that Im planning at the moment and If I can get the sweet wallpaper up on my kitchenwall I would be really pleased (and surprised since there is no extra time for this at all at the moment) On my way home I had a quick look to see how my small pots ( Designtorget-shop at the centralstation in Sthlm) were doing. On the picture just here below show how happy I am to have the grapes soon ready just outside the window of my workshop. Siri, my 7 year old, already started bringing them to school for their fruitmoment every day. We will see if there are any left when I find them ready to eat:)
20120820 Today school starts around here..that means things are going back to normal. And I like it! After a long day on the throwingwheel, 50 new cups and some bowl are seeing daylight for the first time:) My hands feels veryvery soft...on the inside that is. The outside only gets rougher for every day.
20120807 In my workshop a small makeover is taking place. Trying to fit in more shelfs for storege and a new table with fantastic drawers is now swallowing all different coloured sheets, that Ive had in a mess for a long time!! Im happy...and pleased with my work. Now starts the real potters-work though! For the autumn I will also get a bit of help with my production. This I look foreward to and I hope it will make me able to deliver in time as planned.
20120706 Im now back home after a holiday trip through Europe.... through 12 countries: How does that sound? Anyway the countries nowadays are much smaller than before (that is around former jugoslavia!) and with DVD for the children it all worked out well! A bit tired though and longing for clay and workshop! Ive heard about the rainy weather here at home and that is nothing that we have suffered...but must say that the 35 degrees every day made me dizzy and slow. At nighttime and early mornings the true relaxtion was there. Here comes some pictures showing a little bit of Macedonia, where we spend most of our time!
Here is a favorite of mine www.fikonbutiken.com they make the most wonderful small things of old textiles. See this example and you will find plenty more looking at their homepage!
20120506 My MATE mugs in the workshop! At the moment I have several of these finnished. Black ones to send immidietly if wanted:-) 250:- each. They are about 4 dl large and are perfect for tea or soap. Send me a mail to order!
20120523 The opening of frinds of FORM is betting closer!! On friday 25th of May / 16-20 you are welcome to visit the grandOpening and then after that it will be opened all days in week exept from sundays. Ill bring you pictures here in next week of opening and the look of it:) (See more info below)20120111 8 days left for Formex. Kiln is just about to be put now this morning...as most of the days this last week! Im thrilled about making this new collection of pots for easter. Exiting and challenging! My Håkan and I have also been busy doing a new big "woody" table and benches for the boot on the fair. These heavy pieces will probably be well working in my garden later on this year :) I hope!! ...........20111102 In my workshop today...burning Byrackacups (those with dogs and cats:)) Im also making familymembers, on the wheel today is "Tom", arms will be put on this afternoon! I hope he can wait:)) 20100331 20100331 20100319 Snow is melting a bit faster at the moment and my short trip (30 m) to the workshop is less dangerous. It has been bumpy ice and snow on a very thin passage all winter, so that Im every day have had to hang on to the mirror of our car ...not to fall! Today is anyway time for Bodil dishes, that I threw on the weel yesterday. They will have to be taken care of, before they become too dry!! 
20100309 This is a piece from Thomas Paul, that I find beautiful! Found it on a norwedian blog!
Today I had a look to see if i had got some nice publicity on the web...and YES! Lucky me. If you want to see coments of products please try these sites:

20100305 Today is friday and totally sunny outside, allthough several degrees minus still! The birds were twittering like crazy when I went to preschool with my little Siri this morning. I feel there is an end to the long winter after all!! YES! Now soon there should be new products from me at Huset-shop.com. I hope so much that they all made the trip over in one piece! In my workshop I have company and help today, Lillemor is helping out with all kind of things, thats perfect!!
20100221 Here is a picture from one of my new bowls and also a picture of the small plates that I make. They are ment for candles, but offcause, use them for the salt on the table or for other small stuff that lays around! 
.jpg)
20100216 My ceramiccourse started last night with the3 girls. Its a nice change in the week with something else to do and fun company! Today Im alone and busy doing "dotmugs", Im also burning a kiln with eartenware, that makes my workshop real warm and cosy. Snow is still half a meter high outside so Id rather stay inside. On thursday Ill be on my way to Stockholm over the day, delivering some pieces and meeting up with people, but today there are still some mugs to do!!
20100209 Its tuesday morning and my workshop looks like a mess. Im trying to get som new shelfes up on the wall...and offcause they have to be changed a few times before they find the right spot! How shall I cover the holes I made?? Still they are very much needed these new shelfes and before the day is ended I hope to have it done! At the same time we have workers at home to renovate our bathroom, the feeling of caos is all around!! OOhh.. Im looking soo much forward to this new bathroom! I have not put a single piece of my own ceramic into it though...I feel it should be fun to do so, but still it will be real nice as it is planned with shiffermosaik and smooth white walls. If I dare I might let a small piece of odd caractare blend in somewhere!
20100202 Här lägger jag nu in anmälningarna till vårens kurs i keramik 10 ggr / vuxna/ 6 platser / start 15:e febr:
1 Vesna 2 Karin Hallgren 3 Lotta Sohlberg 4 Pernilla Nordin 5 6

.jpg)
100127 These guys are new and...accually not yet finnished, in the meaning that Im still working on new types and more caracters! I presented them on the fair last week and my "mum" was picked out as a "favorite" and got an extra ordinary position in the front entrence of the fair! Congratulations mum!!
100126 So Im back home after a fun and intensive fair in Stockholm! There has been lots of new contacts and inspiring things to see. The feeling of spring was all around, so now once outside after 4 days, I felt a bit surprised that it was so cold and white still!! There is a mess in my workshop and today is cleaning and fixing-day. During my time away my beautiful dog Wilma died! It is so empty here now, after all she was 13 years old and I know its more than expected from a dog of her size. Now I will have to focus on my work and the rest of my family offcause!
I want to to say thanks to all of you that have payed interest in my ceramic and work, now is time for workshop and I try and deliver as soon as I have the pieces done!
100119 After lots of problem with my kiln...I am now burning it day and night!! Thank you God, or perhaps mostly Morgan, for my now perfect functioning kiln!! Tomorow we are on our way up to Stockholm and the fair. And all that I wanted to bring...I can bring!! Håkan is with me, helping and supporting and I feel fit to go!! Se you there!
100113 Yesterday I had help to change "element!" in my kiln, now it burns more even! Im on my way out there now, wrighting more later!
100107 Its soo cold outside...-10 degrees I think. Well in Hemavan in north of sweden it had been -40 during the night. I have started up working now, trying to fill up and make things for Formex. Its only 2 weeks left now. Im not yet sure about what I will bring exactly, something new anyway, together with "oldies". Please come and see me there in monter B 14:11
091231 Im not working very much a the moment, but some things has to be sent. Today this packedge got a ride on the snowboard on the way to our local postoffice. The next photo of a tepot with 2 spouts is a product from a practicant, that has been in my workshop during the autumn! Isnt it fantastic! Thanks Elinor for your nice company these mounths and your many interesting and new ideas!!
091222 Wilma is hardly visable in the snow! I toke this photo around 4 pm and its really dark...the snow in the sky I couldnt see in real life. It appeared only on the photo! 
091216 Now christmas is coming closer and there is a lot to do ....with ceramics that has to be made and sent befor its too late. And all presents that has to be bought ...anyway I like this bussy time and perhaps espesially today when there is lots of nice big snowflakes in the sky and the ground has become white with snow!! Also Formex is coming closer!! Ill be there in januari 21-24:th for the 3:d time and now l ll will be in monter B14:11 together with KHVC. My monter is in one of the corners of this area! So feel welcome to visit me there! I will also be represented with some of my things in the entrence of Formex and also in an exibition about craft in the front of the B-hall! Lucky me!!
0091208 Here is a picture of my lazy Wilma on the workshop floor! And one of Siri, who is a fan of patterns and dresses. The more the better!
20091202 Now december and today a fantastic sun and frost outside! I must take a long walk with Wilma, she loves this cold weather! In my workshop today DOT-mugs are waiting and a glacekiln has to be put on!Im also putting lots of energi in designing a new tecup. More about that later!
20091124 From today my small bird-pots are for sale on www.huset-shop.com and nice new pictures are to see. Im allways exited about that, when someone else takes photos of my things. They look soo much better then! Thanks huset-shop!! Take a look at their site with lots of nice scandinavian designs!
20091123 Soo..monday morning and on my way out to the workshop! Decorating bird pots is whats happening today. My "helping hand" Lillemor has a terrible cold and is not with me this week, usally she comes tuesdays! Me and Wilma ( my now 13 year old dog) are the only ones around, but thats OK. Its very calm and quiet and easy to work, despite Wilmas snooring, something that has come with the age. She sleeps a lot, also during the days!
20091120 Hello and welcome! From today I start writing this text in english... so that everyone can understand and follow. Mostly I write here about things happening in my workshop, but also other things that I see and sometimes this side looks more like a diary! It changes all the time, so please feel welcome and follow what happens!
20091119 Godmorgon, det är torsdag och ännu riktigt grått här utanför! Det gör mig inte så mycket, tycker att det är lite skönt med sånt här "ingetväder" emellanåt. Då är det inte så mycket drar och man kan jobba på mera ostört liksom!!
Har funderat på att börja skriva på engelska här nu framöver (efter bästa förmåga! ) Har ju under året fått kunder långt utanför Sverige och det vore ju roligt att kunna tala även till dom. Så nästa text här på sidan blir alltså på utrikiska!! Häng med!.jpg)
20091116 Nu har www.cosas.se tagit fina bilder på blomkrukorna och säljer dom i sin webshop! Man får passa på att låna bilder som är bra...foto är ju ändå inte riktigt min grej. Alltid är det nåt som felar tycker jag, när jag ska ta bilder!! Glädjer mig åt att se krukorna ur någon annans perspektiv. Det är toppen!
20091113 Idag är det fredagen den 13:e! Trots det riktigt lugnt här hemma, inga otäcka överraskningar ....än! Har suttit vid datorn i 2 dagar och känner mig lite stel, det är tur att man har verkstan som väntar och att kunna växla mellan olika arbeten!
För er som är nya här hos mig så vill jag gärna säga att det går bra att handla direkt från hemsidan! Jag har ingen "varukorg" att fylla utan du skickar mig ett mail med din beställning. Varor och priser hittar du under keramik eller produktformgivning
Jo, nu innan Jul så slår jag gärna in era beställda varor som julklappar i papper med etikett och snöre! Klappat och klart så att säga! Meddela mig om ni önskar detta när ni skickar mailet med beställningen!
20091110 Nya stora skålar! Bredden är ca 30 cm och höjden lite varierande.
091109 Idag så skickar jag sista paketet från FORMEX-beställningarna. Det tog lite tid att få allt i hamn, men så glad jag är nu att ha fått så många nya och bra återförsäljare! Nu väntar nya utmaningar med påfyllning förstås och annat verkstads arbete. Ska försöka vara med på iallafall en julmarknad, för julstämningens skull ..om inte annat! Det blir här hemma på kulturhuset i Skövde den 12:e december. Där var så trevligt förra året...mycket folk, uppträdande och saker för barnen att göra! Hög mysfaktor helt enkelt! Sen så ska en ny butik i Göteborg öppna nu i november, så där blir jag oxå med. Bakom Hagabion i Linnestan ligger den!
091105 Igårkväll så jobbade vi vidare med vintillverkningen här hemma, eftersom det var blandade blå och gröna druvor (vi har ju inte så stor mängd av varje) så ser ju färgen lite blek ut. Eller rosa kanske man kan kalla den hmm.. men alkoholhalt hade den fått och enligt en mätare, som vi handlade in, så verkar den vara uppe i 10 volym%. Lite surt luktar det förstås, men nu så är den tappad på dunkar med klarningsmedel i. Förmodar att den får stå till sig ansenlig tid, innan det går att dricka av den. Den ska allt få komma över i snygga korkade flaskor först. Ca 7 liter ser det ut att ha blivit av de tre vinstockarna...det blir väl 9 flaskor skulle jag tro! Kul! Om det blir vin nästa år igen får väl smaken avgöra lite senare, annars får vi väl fortsättningsvis gå över till att göra druvsaft!
091101 Ojdå, redan november! "Halloweenii" som Siri säger, var ju igår, även om det for ganska obemärkt förbi här hemma hos oss. Nästa år, med en 5-åring kanske det blir mer utgång med bus eller godis! Fick igår hjälp av snälla RosMarie att leverera några större skålar ner till Malmö och Form/designcenter, skönt att slippa oroa sig för post-frakten. Iallafall med de större grejerna tycker jag det kan kännas lite nervigt! För övrigt så hittar jag "Bodil" kannan i Hus & Hem idag, bland flera andra kannor i ett reportage lite längre bak i tidningen!
091027 Gomorron...jäsp! Lite sömnig efter en sen kväll i verkstan, men nu kan jag snart plocka ut en mängd nya små pippiburkar ur ugnen. Den sista, och tredje bränningen, av detta gänget är klar, dekorerade i sina slutliga mönster och färger! Idag får jag ju oxå sällskap och hjälp av Lillemor. Hon lär nog få dekorera pippisar hon med...än är inte alla klara!
091017 Nu har vi ( Håkan, Siri och jag ) berett våra fina vindruvor efter bästa förmåga. Det var meningen att Siri skulle trampa dom, men efter att hon provat att doppa ena foten ville hon inte mer och jag fick ta över. Det är väl osäkert om vi nånsin kan bjuda på detta vinet efter att jag lagt ut denna bilden, men jag kan säga att det står här bredvid mig på golvet nu och puttrar och jäser. Jag återkommer med resultatet! Denna effektiva lördag så hann jag oxå med att dreja stjärtar till dom pippiburkar som stod och väntade ( ovan )!
091017 Lördag förmiddag och fantastiskt soligt..mm! En kortare tur i verkstan får det bli ändå, behöver snart ha klart saker till, vad jag tror kommer bli, julförsäljning i flera butiker och är väl lite sen med leveranser. Håll ut ni som väntar...nu är det på gång!!
091012 Det är måndag morgon och verkstan...och kanske praktikanten Elinor, väntar där ute. Ska strax ge mig dit! Har googlat på mitt namn nu nyligen och fick en skojig överraskning. Det visar sig att medverkan i Fromsthlm har gett ringar på vattnet ordentligt. Jag hittar pippiburkar på sidor i både USA och...Japan och Kina!! Nu har dom sannerligen lärt sig flyga mina små "pippisar"! www.fad80.com ( 4:e okt) www.trendhunter.com (3:e okt) www.design-milk.com www.nybergsvarld.blogspot.com (3:e sept) bland annat. Har du intresse så kika in på dessa ställen!
091010 Nu är det höst, Siri har hängt gosisarna på tork efter att dom legat i böta sandlådan lite för länge! Själv så har jag slutat hänga tvätten på tork utomhus. 
091008 Vi hoppades på orange pumpa till halloween...men fick 3 stycken gröna skönheter istället! Visst är det härligt med stort och att man utan uns av gröna fingrar kan få fram sådana här i sin trädgård. I komposten klarade sig plantan helt på egen hand!!
091007 Igår så besökte jag och min praktikant Elinor Rörstrand. Museet, fabriken, butiken med lager av härlig keramik och det riktigt mysiga fiket. Vilken lunch!!! mmm...recept på brödet kunde man köpa med sig hem. Fantastiskt bröd, en variant på bikarbonatsbröd som jag alldeles snart måste baka i egna ugnen här hemma! Hade tänkt att fylla på i Pannrummet (galleriet där jag är med)...men hade missat att dom har stängt på både måndagar och tisdagar. Så vi fick bara kika in...och lämna sakerna till en bekant brevid. Annars så hade vi en rolig och intressant dag med besök i fabriken, som kanske kan bli nåt kul samarbete längre fram!
Kolla in lamporna i fiket...dom är i porslin!!
091002 Paret Bengt & Lotta är nu oktobers representanter för svensk design hos fromsthlm. Detta mönstret på handduk och grytlapp är en av de produkter som erbjuds amerikanerna under denna månaden! Man blir glad av det, eller hur! För övrigt så finns nu mina Byrackamuggar hos Hemlängtan i Borgholm, en liten butik med retro, möbler, prylar och nytt. Se hemsidan www.hemlangtan.net som är riktigt fin och där även Byrackorna fått plats!
090930 Idag är sista dagen för försäljningen av BLOMkrukor och PIPPIburkar på www.fromsthlm.com. Har ju fått dom så fint presenterade där under hela september. Imorgon så kommer någon ny, ännu okänd att dyka upp! Spännande vem det blir!!
090926 Idag hittar jag pippiburkarna på stor tydlig bild i tidningen MAMA!! Tack för detta fina! (ingen bild här!) Och visst passar dom väl hos barn, både stora och små!!
090925 Idag öppnade en ny butik i Skövde Kvist & Gård Dekorativa!! En jättehärlig blandnig av gammalt och nytt, lite 50- och 60-tal. Vissa saker var omklädda. Annat var nytt och riktigt kul. ta en titt om du är i närheten. Adressen är Norra Bergvägen (gammal blomsteraffär). Butiken ligger bakom Kvantum, på vägen upp emot Billingen. Värt ett besök tycker jag förstås, som levererat både pippiburkar och ljusfat och prickmuggar dit upp!!
090919 Idag snabb-torkar jag byrackor och stora prickmuggar ute i solen! Härligt att fortfarande kunna ställa ut dom! ...och sig själv förstås, någonstans där solen ligger på!!
090915 Idag är vi 3 stycken i verkstaden. Jag, Lillemor ( min tisdags-hjälpreda ) och praktiserande Elinor. Det fyller upp varje hörn när vi är flera och är riktigt skoj som omväxling. Ofta jobbar jag ju på egen hand. Skröjugnen är fylld med stora skålar och Elinors egna grejer. Pippiburkarna står på långa rader och ska precis få stjärtarna på plats. Lillemor hjälper mig med färgsättningen av byrackor, det är så bra att få assistans....ja och nu är klockan 10 och det är fika!
090911 Hej vackra september...vilka riktigt underbara dagar! Ja, rent vädermässigt iallafall. I år så kan vi skörda paprikor! Söt planta va...! Som nog hade velat ha lite mera sol, men den pryder sin plats iallafall tycker jag. Och vi får väl äta grön paprika istället för röd... Och sockerärtor. Jag hade lite problem med dom ju i starten, när någon...vet fortfarande inte vem, knipsade av alla skott. Jag satte iallafall nya ärtor och se, nu har vi finfina jättegoda skidor! Det finns mycket livskraft i ärtor och bönor och pumpor, är man bara lite snäll mot dom så sticker dom iväg som rackarns.. Siri smaskar nu lite varstans i trädgården. Morötter t ex som ju fått riktigt bra storlek till slut och sockerärtorna äter hon ( och jag ) direkt från plantan. Ibland finns det oxå kvar några till salladen, men det kan man inte vara säker på! Själva salladen förresten hamnade på komposten nån gång mitt i sommaren, sniglarna knäckte både den och mig. Jag klarar bara inta att ta kål på dom och kvar kan dom ju inte vara. Tar man bara bort salladen så har man inga sniglar heller verkar det som. Åtminstone hos oss!
090907 Dagen idag har gått till att köpa lera. Jag handlar den i Göteborg...och det tar liksom hela dan innan jag är hemma igen! Passar förstås alltid på att besöka systern eller nån i familjen. Shoppar nåt från storstan eller tar en sväng på Ikea! Idag så har jag fyllt på i Designtorgs-sortimentet ! Missade ju en hel-dag i verkstan, vilket stressar mig nu, när jag ju har mycket att göra. Verkstan har trots allt inte varit tom, jag har för tillfället en praktikant hos mig. Trevliga Elinor sitter vid min andra drejskiva och gör mig sällskap! Hon kommer att finnas med under hela september och Oktober. Imorgon så blir det beskickning av ljusfat ...och drejning av stora skålar, hade jag tänkt! Sen får vi nog hjälpas åt att svabba golvet. Det vita lerdammet blir ett stoft på allting om man inte håller efter. För att inte tala om spåren man gör när man går ut ifrån verkstan. Det går inte att smyga precis!!
090904 Här syns den nya ugglan...lite större, lite mer stjärt. Han finns oxå med de gröna prickarna liksom tidigare. Denna ugglan lever nu paralellt med den något mindre kusinen, som bl a finns hos Designtorget och här hos mig förstås!
090901 Hej på er...nu när Formexmässan är över för denna gången. Så är jag hemma och på plats igen! Det har varit väldigt roliga och intensiva dagar. Har lagt in lite bilder här nedan. Längst ner hittar du min egen monter! Nytt för just idag är annars att jag under hela september finns representerad på en amerikansk websida, www.fromsthlm.com ..där några av mina produkter säljs och företaget visas upp i bild och text. Butiken finns i San Fransisco och hela konseptet är skapat av Tiffany, som har en svensk man och vill ge amerikanerna en bit av svensk formgivning! Titta in på sidan för att förstå bättre. Den här fina bilden av pippiburkarna ett av hennes verk!
Skojiga produkter för barn..eller hur! Basander och Lundin heter tjejerna bakom formgivningen och företaget. www.basanderlundin.se Redan 2005 fick dom det hedrande Formidabel-priset här på mässan. En ny produkt premieras varje Formex-mässa, som anses ha nytänkande och säljande egenskaper. Årets produkt ( vilken jag inte har bild på, men titta in på "from STHLM" så har hon lagt in bilder där!) Det blev iallafall en nypruduktion av en servis från Walter Gropius från 30-talet...snygg förstås men så ny var den ju inte!!
Mycket Vackra saker, tyvärr så kunde hon inte få sin stora ljuskrona att lysa i montern!! Kolla in dom extremt reflekterande ljuslyktorna i gjutet gods med guld eller silverbeläggning längst ner i hörnet! Namnet har jag tyvärr tappat.
Eva finns bland KHVC montrar och har en så fin monter tycker jag och gör stilrena, snygga smycken!
Här syns Monica och Mats med Lilla Bruket, mina vänner och hjälpredor under mässan. Lilla Bruket är med nu för 3:e gången med sina urfina tvålar. Det går bara bättre och bättre även om konkurrensen är ganska tuff!
.jpg)
090827 Ja nu är man på plats på Formex...allting är riggat! Lamporna blev riktigt bra tycker jag och lyser upp ordentligt. Lakrisskruvar i stora skålen längst fram på bordet. Skålen var klar kvällen innan jag åkte upp och blev härligt stor och inbjudande! Såhär mycket skruvar var det kvar på söndgseftermiddagen innan en tjej var framme och handlade den med sig hem. Hon är oxå själv med på mässan med ett nytt och riktigt kul konsept. Dom kallar sig Oddbirds och gör nya produkter av gamla produkter. Sätter ihop på ett oväntat sätt och har verkligen hittat en egen nisch! Kolla in dom på www.oddbirds.nu Den stora skålen går att shoppa från mig här på sidan. Ny skål och foto på den kommer in så fort jag har det klart! Priset är ca 1500:- för storskålen! Hör av dig om du är intresserad.
090821 Ugnen går varm och varje kväll så är det en ny laddning...ett märkligt fenomen det där att man alltid är klar precis minuterna innan bilen ska rulla iväg till mässa eller annan "deadline"! Det ska bli riktigt roligt att få komma till Formex igen, andra gången för mig! Känner mig nu lite mer varm i kläderna. Jag jäktar ändå inte hela dagarna... nu så kan vi äntligen förse vi oss av trädgårdens olika mogna grönsaker. Morötter bl a, som till slut fått en någorlunda storlek. Salladen fick jag ta bort på grund av sniglarna, men ruccolan har blivit fantastisk, den bryr dom sig inte om!! En enorm mängd plommon för första gången...som jag har väntat på dom!! Hade inte hjärta att gallra bort så många som jag borde ha gjort och nu har jag fått stötta det lilla trädet. Tyvärr så är Wilma, min stora hund, tillräckligt hög att själv äta ifrån trädet och det har fått till följd att vi just nu inte kan ha henne inomhus. Den som har känt hund-pruttar vet vad jag menar! Sambon har föreslagit att vi ska rensa trädet på plommon en bit upp...
090818 Rörstrandsfabriken verkar ha fått nytt liv. Där finns spännande aktiviteter lite varstans. Utställning av HDK examensarbeten såg jag, visserligen bara genom fönstret, det nya "Pannrummet" där jag själv är med. Vilket är en utställningshall (rum) med olika konsthantverkare. Fint sammansatt och mycket att se! Jättetrevligt fik som ligger ihop med museet av keramik och en museum-butik...dit jag nog måste komma tillbaka snart. En hel del outlet..som ju oxå är kul att fynda i. Dessutom så är ju tryckverkstäder och produktion igång...men i annan regi av var jag förstår, än tidigare. Säkert inte i samma kvantiteter som det har varit. Man känner ändå att det fått nytt liv. Drejarmästerskapen kikade vi på lite, den var numera inne på gården av fabriksbyggnaden och inte på torget som tidigare.
090814 Nu startar Porslinsfestivalen i Lidköping och i år så tänkte jag ta en tur dit. Drejarmästerskap och föreläsningar av bl a Mårten Medbo och Hanna Werning...kul ! Passar på att fylla på lite produkter i Pannrummet (försäljnings- och utställningshall). Jag har ju ännu inte ens sett lokalerna där, så det ska bli spännande!
090727 Dagarna springer iväg och det är ju så skönt att ta det lite lugnare än vanligt. Helt utan verkstaden är jag sällan, men det går mer på halvfart och är inte så tidspressat som vanligt . Snart är det ju trots allt FORMEX och jag får allt samla ihop mig nu...har lite nya planer inför jul och vinterprodukter. Får se om det slår väl ut. Det är ju tänkt att vara klart till slutet av augusti redan!! Får nog skynda nu...
090717 ....vill gärna lägga in en liten notis om Anna Wennerstrand som gör så väldigt fin keramik och mosaik och skulptur.Kolla in henne på www.annawennerstrand.se ! Här är en bild utanför hennes verkstad vid Hornborgasjön som jag besökte igår!! Så härliga former, färger och mönster!
090715 Nu är jag (vi) hemma igen ifrån en helg i Stockholm och Kungsträdgården. Har medverkat med grejer i sisbiz regi och sålt keramik och godis och kläder och annat till både greker, tyskar...italienare..ja där var verkligen en mix av nationaliteter. Det var trevligt att umgås och prata med andra företagare. Man är ju annars ofta ensam som egenföretagare. Har oxå hittat en ny butik för mina Byrackor, Sweahantverk i gamla stan. Sicken tur man har en hjälpsam man som kan ersätta och visa grejer när jag vart upptagen på annat håll. Sweahantverk ligger på Västerlånggatan smidigt tillgänglig mitt i stråket där!
090710 Efter en lång promenad runt ön kunde man kanske önska att bänken varit lite mer komplett!
Vi provar nya kameran som funkar under vattnet. En riktigt tålig kamera ska det va nu efter att vi faktiskt förbrukat ett par stycken på inte allt för lång tid! Slarvigt av oss, men den här verkar toppen!!
090710 Här kommer några sköna bilder från en veckas ledighet...i värmen på Marstrand och hemma i hängmattan..
090707 Nu har jag fotat och lagt in bilder på fler "Byrackor" (keramik-sidan) varav de här riktigt barnsligt glada färgerna ingår! "Byrackan" har i år fått tillökning av en kanin + en ny vovve och katt oxå. Färgkombinationerna varierar ständigt. Jag blandar mer eller mindre på fri hand så ibland så får jag helt enkelt inte till en gammal favorit, men så kommer det en ny istället!! Byrackorna beställer man efter eget önskemål, figur och färg!! I verkstan brukar jag oftast ha en mängd klara, både 1:a + 2:a sort.
090705 I hetaste sommar-värmen så har det dessutom gått riktigt hett till i verkstan! PIPPIburkar och BLOMkrukor och Byrackor i långa banor. Det känns kul att kunna leverera till de nya...och även g:a ställena förstås. Etelhem på Gotland får dessa PIPPIburkar i år, vilket ju är nytt där! Har nu gjort den lilla ärlan i en mängd olika färger..prickar...ränder, som syns här på bordet!! Nu är försäljning i galleri Pannrummet också igång!
090625 I augusti så blir det Formex på Älvsjömässan igen för mig! Monter C03:42 tillsammans med Lilla Bruket och Monica. Kanske ses vi där! Datumet är 27-30:e aug om jag inte tagit fel på nån dag.
090624 sisbiz.se ...skriver in adressen med en gång. Detta är en sammanslutning av kvinnliga företagare. Och jag är nu med. Ska du handla så handla av en kvinna är tanken och på så sätt gynna och göra skillnad. Just nu under bästa semestertid så finns ett 30-tal av dessa ( inkl. mig då ) i Kungsträdgården i Stockholm. Inhysta i g:a galleri Glas som ju är en riktigt fin och ljus lokal. 23-e juni - 12:e juli. Den sista söndagen så står jag där själv. Kom förbi om du har möjlighet!! Förutom detta så börjar jag snart sälja oxå i Lidköping. Galleri Pannrummet heter stället som ska vara inhyst i g:a Rörstrand ( har inte varit där ännu!) Upplägg som på Desigtorget att man hyr en försäljningsyta...ska bli kul med en ny plats som dessutom verkar riktigt fin!
090616 Nu ser det visst lite ljusare ut, soligare och varmare! Wilma, min underbara byracka, rullar sig i gräset och älskar när solen kommer fram. Även om hon inte tål så mycket värme sen hon blivit äldre och måste gå in i skuggan efter ett tag. När jag tar fram kameran så ser hon så här trulig ut...blir liksom osäker på vad det är jag ska göra med henne. Hon ser allt gammal ut nu min madam!! Den lilla plastbilen är "glassbilen"...gulligt tycker jag. Man kan välja på alla smaker och så skopas det upp i byttan på flaket. I verkstadsbutiken så har jag det så här för stunden...kanske inte någon riktigt rättvis och bra bild, men såhär har vi det idag, jag och Wilma i vår verkstad!
090612 Oj vad det regnar, alla som har avslutning och student blir genomblöta. Och inte blir det några fina kort heller! Det problemet har inte vi ännu , Siri är 4 år och sitter just på dagis och äter frukost med kompisarna. Regnet kommer ändå att göra gott åt mina buxbom, som jag planterde nyligen. Och alla andra små plantor. Har dessvärre ett problem (har haft andra år oxå) ...att sockerärts-skotten blir uppdragna alt. avknipsade!! VEM? Det verkar inte som att dom ska ätas, möjligen naggas lite på. Jag vet att skotten är verkliga delikatesser, men... och inga spår blir det heller. Har mina funderingar kring skator eller ev. kajor. Deras spår skulle jag nog inte se i jorden!! Nu har jag puttat ner skotten i jorden i flera omgångar + satt ett antal nya ärtor att gro. Får se vad som händer!! Nej nu får jag ge mig ut i verkstan. Ska idag skicka ett paket med keramik till ny butik SiLVER & CITRON i Lövestad. Det blir Byrackor, Mate-muggar och Taxen Pär där. hej sålänge!!
090603 Idag blir det byrackor...igen. Drejning, beskickning, engobering. Hittade förra veckan mina PIPPIburkar i leva&bo, den lilla tidningen som följer med GP och Expressen. Det är ju alltid kul ! Och snart så kommer dom med i ett köksreportage i tidningen Family Living. Ska bli skoj att se hur det kommer att ser ut. Är lite orolig bara för leveransen av de nya dekalerna till burkar och BLOMkrukor...som inte riktigt har samma färgton som tidigare. Aldrig ska det gå riktigt lätt!! Japp..nu är det dax att fortsätta med arbetet. Drejning beskickning engobering drejning beskickning engo....... 
090601 Ja nu är jag i full gång med Byrackorna för Etelhem på Gotland. Den årliga invanda vallfärden börjar närma sig! Har tappat räkningen av hur många somrar jag jobbat eller levererat keramik till krukmakeriet. För er som inte varit där, så kan jag säga att det ligger 4 mil sö om Visby i just Etelhem. Gotlands äldsta ska det vara, och har keramik från ca 5 till ja ..kanske 10 olika keramiker. Det drivs av Torleif och AnnBritt och om du kommer dit med familjen så kan barnen prova på att dreja och där finns mysigt fik. Den gamla verkstan är till för att gå runt i och där är även ett litet museum över g:a formar och krukor på loftet. Det är bara att gå runt och titta. Alltid är det någon som jobbar! jag levererar främst Byracka-bägare dit sedan flera år, men där finns mycket kul och många olika typer av keramik. Titta på bilden här ovan...det är mitt fikonträd som jag var på väg att slänga på tippen för att det verkade vara dött! Hade försökt att vinterförvara det utomhus för första året nu i vinter och visserligen hade det blåst av lite bubbelplast så jag anade väl att det fått en knäck...men visst lever det! Härligt! Har ännu aldrig fått några fikon på det, men nu finns hoppet igen!!
090530 Håkan och Siri somnade på filten i trädgården...ser ju så himla mysigt ut! Själv så springer jag mest runt och fixar och pysslar hela tiden...men det är rätt mysigt det oxå!
090527 En ny kanna med prickar lägger jag in på keramik-sidan nu. Tänkt som tekanna, med tekula som hänger ner genom pipen! Priset blir 550:- Sedan idag så landar bägare (bl a) hos FRÖJDhantverk i Örebro! Har provat att skicka med Bussgods, för att se om det funkar bättre än med posten. Verkar som om det iallafall blir billigare, direkt varsamma vet jag inte om dom är men det är ju inte posten heller!
090526 Dom lediga dagarna har gått åt att njuta i solen, så fort den kom fram. Har inhandlat lite pil att rama in en rabatt med. Ett trevligt pyssel faktiskt och fint blir det tycker jag! Detta är vårt hus ...och så är det Siri förstås, som hänger tvätt och gungar! Idag är det glasyrbränning av BLOMkrukor i verkstan...så är du intresserad av dom så har jag imorgon väldigt många klara. Skickar oxå flera produkter till butik i Örebro idag. FRÖJD hantverk. Hon kommer att sälja byrackamuggar, stengodsbägare och skålar. Lillemor är i verkstan och hjälper mig idag. Ser ut att bli en skön dag!.jpg)
.jpg)
090525 Lite överväxt BLOMkruka. Hemtrevnad är så trevlig..den letar sig fram där det finns plats helt enkelt!
090517 Hela sköna helgen har gått åt att fixa med grönsaker och sola sig lite i nån stol och plantera om en liten blåbärsbuske som vi hoppas ska bli riktigt stor nu! Siri ( 4 år ) äter lite väl friskt på krusbärskarten....tyvärr, men dom ser ändå ut att bli ganska många! En egen odling av morötter har hon fått förstås. Hittade dom här söta påsarna i handeln. Det blir lite mer speciellt så. Vinstockarna är nu på gång utanför verkstan....man vill nästan inte gå in!
090514 Har tagit bild på TAXEN PÄR för att visa hur "han" ser ut runt om..med kompis och allt! Kolla in "honom" på produktformgivnings-sidan!!
090508 Soligt och snart dax att gå ut i verkstan. Så här ser det ut där idag!!
090504 Nu ligger BLOMkrukor och PRICKmuggar inne på Erika Tubbins hemsida och butik. Se hennes adress under återförsäljare. Det såg så fint ut, det är bra ibland när någon annan tar över och fixar med ens grejer. Så får man se dom i ett annat perspektiv!
090429 Verkstaden är nu full av produkter, saker som snart skall ut i nya butiker. En ny återförsäljare blir FORMDESIGNcenter i Malmö. Ska bli roligt att få sälja vidare där. Om några veckor så kommer även en butik i Örebro ha min keramik. FRÖJD hantverk heter den butiken.
090426Nu kan man gå in på Designtorgets hemsida och finna mina PIPPIfågelburkar och BLOMkrukor där. Även högupplösta bilder för press finns där..och det är ju bra! Igår, lördag, for jag med tåget in till GBG för att fylla på "ärlor" på designtorget. Där var riktigt hett och makalöst med folk i hela stan. Oasen var trädgårdsföreningen och rosenkafeet, även om vi nog säkert stod 30 minuter i kö för den fikan.
090417 Dagen har gått till att göra PIPPIfågelburkar. Det blir alltid en lite kortare dag på fredagar, då jag hämtar ifrån dagis redan klockan 14. Idag for vi, Siri och jag, till soptippen med överfull Renau Cangoo. Innehållande en död tvättmaskin och ....visade det sig en död mus. Som hade kalasat på lite goda sop-påse-rester och sen dött???? Vad fanns däri egentligen. Kanske den kvävdes under all bråte stackars liten. Jag har en hat-kärlek till möss faktiskt. Eller mest så tycker jag om dom, fasten dom inte alltid passar in!! Tuffa små krabater! ( kanske blir det mus-burkar framöver! nej, skojade bara.)
090415 Vår vår våår...himlans vad skönt det är! Har haft påskledigt i Berlin och Tyskland, där det nog var ännu några grader varmare än hemma. Håkan (sambon) arbetar där just nu och jag och Siri for ner för att se hur det var! Här hemma så är det nu mycket att göra i verkastan (och i trädgården om jag hinner ut!) och det är väldigt roligt. Arbetar på PIPPIfågelburkar och BLOMkrukor framförallt...men oxå prickmuggar och annat.
090323 Så var det måndagmorgon och snön ligger täckt över allt jag ser här utanför fönstret...det som var så himla vårigt varmt i lördags! Men så är det ju bara mars oxå.. Idag far jag till NJUTA och sätter upp påskskylten. Det blir en drös stora och små papiermache´-ägg!
Har haft kursen för barn här igår, dom drejade och riktigt badade med händer och armar i lervällingen som blir i skålen. Tillverkade sparbössor och smaskade på en en god kaka gjorde dom oxå. Det blev 2 intensiva och roliga timmar. Nu har dom bara 1 gång kvar!
090316 Idag så har Lillemor Suikki varit hos mig i verkstaden...kom på att jag inte nämnt att jag har en ny hjälpreda! Lillemor är med mig i verkstaden här på tisdagsförmiddagarna (eller som idag då..en annan fm i veckan) Det är ett trevligt avbrott för både mig och Wilma (vovven) med en pratstund och hjälp med olika saker. Lillemor har gått en utbildning inom keramik och är dessutom allmänt händig med lite av varje. Välkommen Lillemor!!
Extra tack idag då du hittat en ny återförsäljare åt mig ..eller rättare sagt BYRACKA-muggarna på djuraffären här i stan. Den stora butiken som ligger mitt emot icaMAXi!
090312 Finfin bild och bra reklam har jag fått i nyaste numret av ELLEinteriör. Det är TEMA-prick...och där passar jag ju utmärkt in! På en fond av prickar (Mats Johansson m fl företag som säljer tryck i olika varianter!) står prickmuggar, PIPPIfågelburk och BODILkanna staplade!! TACK!
090311 Grattis min lilla Siri som blir 4 år idag, vi startade dagen med pannkakstårta!!
Jaha..så var det vecka 11 då! Nu finns PIPPIfågelburkar och BLOMkrukor på designtorgetx3 (se återförsäljare) Taxen PÄR blev något försenad, men de första böckerna kommer till stockholmsbutikerna redan till imorgon faktiskt, vilket känns väldigt kul.
För övrigt så har jag tillbringat några dagar på Njuta i Hjo och försökt göra kaffe på bästa sätt och plocka upp påskgodis mm. Snart så blir det en påskskylt till fönstret där oxå...tema ÄGG!!
090216 Nu så har jag och lilla familjen haft några uppfriskande dagar i Sälen...vilket var riktigt härligt. Vi bodde i Stöten som funkade jättebra när man hade en liten (snart) 4-åring med sig. 3 dagar av full sol kompenserade de disiga dagarna (läs sikt = ett par meter) fick uppleva förra året på samma ställe. Jag är glad att vi vågade oss iväg igen!
Nu är jag tillbaka hemma i verkstan iallafall...har inhandlat kartonger idag med tanke på BLOMkrukor och PIPPIburkar som snart ska iväg till designtorget. Jag börjar att sälja dem där v 11. Även taxenPÄR kommer till desigtorgen till v 11, det känns kul. Det blir även några helt nytillkomna återförsäljare nu till våren. (kolla in återförsäljare)
Ikväll så startar jag vårens kurs på 10 ggr. Det finns fortfarande några platser kvar för den som vill hänga på, det går ju bra att komma med nästa måndag och bara gå 9 ggr om man skulle vilja. Annars så finns 4 ggr-kursen lite senare i vår, titta här nedanför när den börjar. Barnkursen har oxå platser kvar. Välkommen att höra av er!

090129 Jo nu har alla bilder på nyheter kommit in på keramiksidan. För övrigt så har jag nu gjort utskick angående vårens keramikkurser till tidigare kursdeltagare. Är du intresserad, men inte fått info.-bladet meddela mig så skickar jag dig! Du kan sen läsa vilka och hur många anmälningar som kommit in här på denna sidan.
090123 Nu har jag lagt in bilder på lite nya produkter till keramik-sidan. Kolla in där för att se muggar, skålar, burkar...och krukor. Krukorna finns ju även med färgade "kronblad", bild på dem fattas fortfarande. Kommer snart!
090120 Nu är jag hemma ifrån FORMEX. Det var första gången jag medverkade och känner mig upprymd av alla möten och den respons jag fått. Det har varit 4 intensiva dagar. Nya produkter som jag haft med kommer ut med bild här på hemsidan om bara några dagar, när jag kommit iordning. Jag vill tacka alla som visat intresse för mina produkter.
081213 Har ju glömt att berätta att jag i januari ska börja arbeta på NJUTA i Hjo. Det blir några dagar i veckan. Ska sälja goda praliner och hoppas jag, bli expert på snygga kaffe...med hjärtmönster på topp-skummet!! En riktigt mysig liten butik som är inriktad på delikatesser och godsaker. Fint förpackat kaffe, te, godis, kryddor.. och så kan man gå på choklad och te-provning där, om man vill. Dessutom så fungerar butiken oxå som ett litet fik, för ca 16 personer (tätt sittande) Ska bli roligt med lite ombyte från ensamma verkstads-dagar! Även om jag stormtrivs i min verkstad...omväxling behövs. Har gjort deras julskyltning här nu till 1:a advent, ett pepparkakshus med lite tillbehör. I januari så blir det nåt nytt...vad vet jag inte än!
FORMEX...jag ska vara med på Formex nu i Januari, den 15:e -18:e blir det! I C-hallen bredvid min vän och kollega Monica Kylen. Monica gör keramik och tvålar. Företaget heter Lilla Bruket. Kolla in hennes hemsida www.lillabruket.se Kom gärna och besök oss där, för att se nya grejer och samtala lite!
081213 Idag har det varit julstämning i Skövde kulturhus! Och riktigt roligt. Mycket folk och lucia såklart. Teater för barn. Musik...och massor med marknadsstånd, över 65 stycken visst! Har sålt lite av varje, främst Byracka-muggar. En bra dag! Hade mitt bord intill Katarina Hamilton ifrån Skara. Gå in på hennes hemsida och kolla in jättefina kort mm www.katarinahamilton.se
081201 Ja, så var julmarknaden på stan här i Skövde över. Lite glest med folk, men ändå trevligt. Man syns ju bättre där än hemma på Sveagatan trots allt. Nu är jag på hemmaplan ett tag och ger mig ut på "julstämning" den 13.e på kulturhuset i Skövde.
081113 Var uppe hos Dan Smedman igår och fick se den färdiga ljuskoppen till min ljusstake. (Han har gjort en kopparhållare enligt min prototyp.)Väldigt fin tycker jag, jobbar vidare med ljusstaken nu så ska den nog snart vara färdig för bild här på sidan!!
081110 Så var det måndag igen...alltid sugen att komma igång, men lite ofokuserad - " Vart var jag nu igen?" I fredags så hade jag ett företag här på drejning-vin-mat, det blev en jättetrevlig kväll...slutade vid halv 12 tror jag! Ja just det, där är nog lite att fixa iordning där ute i verkstan...
081104 Till lucia den 13:e december är jag med på "julstämning", en julmarknad som ska bli utanför kulturhuset i Skövde. För 8.e året i rad visst!
081029 Vår dator legat nere en tid ...skönt att kunna vara tillbaka här på sidan igen. I verkstaden har jag arbetat förstås och nu har jag en ny ljusstake klar. Lägger strax in bild på keramik-sidan. Även en ny form på skål som snart oxå kommer att vara synlig här på hemsidan.
För övrigt så lyckades jag hamna på framsidan av en lokal tidning här i Skövde förra veckan. Tidningen heter SN och ja...ett reportage blev det om arbetet och min person.
080928 1:a advent-helgen (den 29-30:e november) så är jag med på julmarknad nere på stan (Skövde) och säljer lite kort och keramik mm. Kom gärna dit!
080925 Ja, det gick ju snabbare än beräknat - nu är julkorten redan klara och finns att se och handla här på hemsidan och i min verkstads-butik. Det är ju skönt att det går lite undan då och då. Säljer dem i 6-pack och alla är olika! Kolla in dem på produktformgivnings-sidan! Klister-etiketter för julklapparna finns med samma motiv!
080918 För stunden så arbetar jag med julkort bl a...i början av november så finns dom att se och handla i verkstads-butiken och här på nätet förstås!
080915 Nu har jag jobbat en tid på en liten barn-vik-bok. TAXEN PÄR! (produktformg.-sidan) Har gjort en mindre upplaga på ett tryckeri i stan som jag tänkte prova till att börja med. Än så länge så finns den att köpa hos mig och i Lappat&Klart-butiken i Alingsås. Fortsättning följer!!! Väldigt roligt projekt hur som helst.
080830 Tillbringare STELLA är ute i Lagerhaus-butikerna. STELLA består av en stor och en liten tillbringare. Den mindre är utan öra och passar till kaffe-mjölken! Eftersom jag precis har provhällt dom, så kan jag ärligt säga att de är helt dropp-fria. Vilket faktiskt inte alltid är fallet, ens med massproducerade kannor! Kolla in dom på produktformgivnings-sidan!
080821 Nu så är schema klart för HÖSTENS KERAMIK-KURSER. De som gått kurs tidigare har fått ett utskick på posten. Här nedan lägger jag in info. om respektive kurs och de anmälningar som kommit in. Varje kurs rymmer max 6 personer. Är du ny och vill anmäla dig till kurs så kontakta mig på mail eller telefon.

080805 Igår så startade jag igång igen efter sommaruppehållet. Siri (våran 3-åring) började dagis igen. Hon hade längtat massor, det är liksom inte så lätt att fylla dagarna lika intensivt som hon skulle önska . Inte som på dagis iallafall!
Har varit på Gotland och levererat saker under sommaren. Mestadels byrackor, men även annat i lergods. Åker över i juni varje år, det är en kul tradition. Brukar stanna några dagar och kika runt på ön. Kolla in Etelhems hemsida www.etelhemskrukmakeri.se Ett väldigt trevligt ställe. Vi är flera som levererar dit. Där finns lite fik och prova-på-drejning och gamla verkstaden är som ett museum.
080801 Sallads-bestick i trä! Ett bestick till är ute i Lagherhausbutikerna!! Priset är 69:- för ett par. Modellen är kortare och känns stadigare i handen än det klassiska besticken för sallad. Kolla in det på produktformgivnings-sidan.
080515 HURRA! Nu så är mitt bestick i rostfritt ute i butik hos Lagerhaus. Det är förpackat i ett rör på 16 delar och kostar ca 299:- . Besticket heter MATTIS och är ett "bas-bestick" med matt-slipad yta. Se besticket på produkformgivnings-sidan!!
Jag kommer att ha öppet under sommaren i verkstaden/butiken. Tiderna blir lite förändrade. För säkerhets skull, hör av dig om du vill komma på besök!
080612 Är du intresserad av kurs? Till hösten börjar jag en ny omgång kurser. Vi startar i september och framåt. Det blir en kurs på 10 ggr, en kurs på 4 ggr samt en kurs för barn. Jag lägger ut information om dessa senast i augusti.
