When going through all september issues yesterday I found this publicity for the splendid dame Vivienne Westwoods accesories. What a contrast! The rebellious lady is still going strong with her political statements of what needs to be adressed and talked about…loudly. If you look closely on the bottom of the page its sais: Leonard Peltier is innocent.

I did not know the story. If you are interested you can read it here.

Yes I do. I want a Mac. And i want to fill it with DIY project and ‘real-life’ projects like doing my own collection of WW and babywear…and filling it with more stunning photos, ideas etc for my blog. Yes I want a Mac and a drawing board. And also the laptop case from Paul Smith. Availble at my new favore on line store Mr Porter. Just one thing – but where is Mrs Porter?

Today is my sons last day of school from his 1st year in school! Ha! Gosh it goes so fast its scary…. So unfortunatly we will not go on vacation til end of july but im feeling sort of like below photo. My, i wish I had back yard to come home to like that filled with friends and family to celebrate – i could invite all his friends! Hanging by the pool, barbecuing, music on….handing out mojitos and smoothies to the 3-4 year olds! Lovely and a perfect ending to the beginning of summer.

But we do have the beach so no complaining – we will hang out there this afternoon.

SO my dear lovely adorable best on earth and the whole universe, Samuel my son forever and the day after too…I adore you. You are the best thing that has ever happend to me. Alskar dig sa. Mamma.

I just found through one of the blogs I usually visit during the day the project : the makers – about creative people in Brooklyn: a designer, a baker, an artist, a perfumist etc.  A photo diary of one day ..almost..of their creative environment and work and some info about why Brooklyn and other things like their favourite restaurant and what they all do when getting home in the evening. I found it so refreshing and inspiring. Go visit!

“First, Lord: No tattoos. May neither Chinese symbol for truth nor Winnie-the-Pooh holding the FSU logo stain her tender haunches. May she be Beautiful but not Damaged, for it’s the Damage that draws the creepy soccer coach’s eye, not the Beauty. When the Crystal Meth is offered, may she remember the parents who cut her grapes in half And stick with Beer. Guide her, protect her when crossing the street, stepping onto boats, swimming in the ocean, swimming in pools, walking near pools, standing on the subway platform, crossing 86th Street, stepping off of boats, using mall restrooms, getting on and off escalators, driving on country roads while arguing, leaning on large windows, walking in parking lots, riding Ferris wheels, roller-coasters, log flumes, or anything called “Hell Drop,” “Tower of Torture,” or “The Death Spiral Rock ‘N Zero G Roll featuring Aerosmith,” and standing on any kind of balcony ever, anywhere, at any age. Lead her away from Acting but not all the way to Finance. Something where she can make her own hours but still feel intellectually fulfilled and get outside sometimes And not have to wear high heels. What would that be, Lord? Architecture? Midwifery? Golf course design? I’m asking You, because if I knew, I’d be doing it, Youdammit. May she play the Drums to the fiery rhythm of her Own Heart with the sinewy strength of her Own Arms, so she need Not Lie With Drummers. Grant her a Rough Patch from twelve to seventeen.Let her draw horses and be interested in Barbies for much too long, For childhood is short – a Tiger Flower blooming Magenta for one day – And adulthood is long and dry-humping in cars will wait. O Lord, break the Internet forever, that she may be spared the misspelled invective of her peers And the online marketing campaign for Rape Hostel V: Girls Just Wanna Get Stabbed. And when she one day turns on me and calls me a Bitch in front of Hollister, Give me the strength, Lord, to yank her directly into a cab in front of her friends, For I will not have that Shit. I will not have it. And should she choose to be a Mother one day, be my eyes, Lord, that I may see her, lying on a blanket on the floor at 4:50 A.M., all-at-once exhausted, bored, and in love with the little creature whose poop is leaking up its back. “My mother did this for me once,” she will realize as she cleans feces off her baby’s neck. “My mother did this for me.” And the delayed gratitude will wash over her as it does each generation and she will make a Mental Note to call me. And she will forget. But I’ll know, because I peeped it with Your God eyes. Amen.” -Tina Fey

So I had some fun this weekend…babyshower with fellow viking girls down at the beach and a late night eating tapas and drinking dangerously delicious Margeritas made with mango in the city center of Barcelona.  I also dragged myself through a barbecue fighting the nausea and lack of sleep. Luckily the company was very nice and the air did me some good.  Now when I have my brain back in a more or less ok shape I needed to share with you below words that sort of is my state of beeing right now. But  I will not give up, I will change. Evolve.
