Lovely Litographs
These new litographs by artist Benny Dröscher are now on my wishlist! I love the colours and compositions in this series of 4. You can find them all here at Charlotte Fogh Contemporary - my favorite local gallery of Danish and International contemporary art, based here in Aarhus. And if you are looking for some action in Aarhus this weekend – our street is throwing a big street party - Mejlgade for Mangfoldighed. Have a great weekend!
Current Colour Crush
I´m so into Pinterest at the moment – it´s the perfect place to collect eye candy – and to keep track of your new finds. And it´s been quite surprising to discover that I´m liking a lot of orange tones at the moment – since it used to be one of my least favorite colours. But combined with grey, chalk and sand colours – it´s just a perfect combination – don´t you think?

DIY Easter Eggs – part 2 – free download
It´s time to wish you all a Happy Easter – and time again to share my free download with DIY Easter Eggs & Rabbits. They are made with some of my repeat patterns and are super simple to make.
Print them out on thick A4 paper – cut them out and mix & match. Glue 2 eggs together with a piece of sewing tread in the middle – or make a string of eggs – et voila! The rabbits are a bit more tricky – so I´ve made a front and back version of them. Cut the front first – glue it to the back of the rabbit and cut the back afterwards.
You can download the front here and the back here. Have fun!

My Easter download has become quite a tradition now – and have been spread world wide on the web. I love to see all the different & creative ways they have been used – here´s some examples from Denmark, France, Germany and USA.
DIY Easter eggs – part 1
Some DIY ideas are just so great that you have to try them out at once! So after I shared this DIY with masking tape from Creature Comfort on Twitter the other day – I went home to make my own version with my daughter. It was a big succes – so I´ll just share it here also so you will not miss it. You can find all the instructions here at Creature Comforts blog. We used Parchment Paper – but I think baking paper will work even better. And our final results was put directly on the window glass – and the left overs was cut into little cute stickers. Have fun!
My Sweet Spots
Today I´m sharing my local sweet spots on Laura´s wonderful blog The Sweetspot.dk. I´m so happy Laura asked me to share my favorite spots with her readers – because I love her blog and the things she shares. We haven´t met yet – but she is my total styletwin when it comes to interior design, crafts and trends – so make sure to check out her sweet blog – where you also can find a translator if you don´t read Danish. My clever intern Anja, has put together a Google Map with all my Sweet Spot´s in Aarhus – which you can find right here. I plan to keep it updated with fresh new finds & old favorites. Enjoy!
Back from Bologna
I´m back from my little trip to Bologna and the Childrens book fair. Loved visiting Bologna for the first time – such a nice city - and have returned very full of delicious Italian food and inspiration. There was so many great illustrations and I´m really inspired to start making collages again. I also got to enjoy the sun and Italian spring – and wish you all a sunny weekend!

Ciao Bologna & Books
Another great thing about March is that it includes a trip to Bologna Childrens Book Fair. I´m so exited about going because it´s something I´ve wanted to do for the last 5 years. Imagine beeing surrounded by the smell of books, top-class illustrations, tons of Childrens book and Spagetti Bolognese in a gorgeous Italian city – It´s a dream come true! If you have any great recommendations about what to see and where to eat in Bologna – please let me know!? Above is a selection of the 2010 prize winners – more info here.
Spring Fashion 2011
When you say Spring – I say Fashion! It´s always so refreshing to update your wardrobe with new styles and new colours after a long cold winter dressed in black and grey. Here are 2 of my favorite Danish designer´s proposals for a Chic & Casual look this spring.
Photo 1+2 by Graumann. Photo 3+4 by Vadum. All found via my new favorite webshop BA10.dk – which I´ve also designed. Guess all I need now is a pair of long slim legs and warmer temperatures!
