Cracks on the icy road. Truly a slippery walk home from work.
Sorting my art supply, this is my box with punches and cutting supply's.
I do love that feeling you get, walking in the wood then the trees are loaded with snow. The forest become so soft.
Recently we stripped the hall floor and found the original 100 year old floor. We found the holes that had been connected to a sink. Looked right on trough to the floor below.
I love when the winters are full of snow, so much fun!
My cat Boris, is a wonderful hunter. He even chase the fox away!
Made a bunch of cards to have on hand/back up. All unique, all hand made.
One of my favourite moment in church is when Atle plays the drums.
Well there was another mice. The hole is now foam up. Hopefully there will be no more rodents.
The cat caught some afternoon snack, did not like that I tried to capture him with my camera, so in to the woods he went. He truly is a great hunter.
A picture of the mountain close to where I live. Picture taken on a flight, Bodø - Narvik.
Looking for a embroidery needle with a blunt tip.
Eat as much sweets as you want but only with chopsticks. My youngest son at the Children's World Day. A cultural day, where children can learn about living and growing up in other countries, and living in Norway, with a different cultural background. A fantastic day.
My second attempt to make home made sushi. Alto it do not look like the masters at the restaurant, the fresh taste of salmon was marvellous.
Capturing the moon is always difficult, especially when doing it freehand, no camera stand.
With ribbons, hearts, a bullfinch and cranberries, as well as some small bells.
I have been cleaning and re organizing the studio for a looooong time. These are my rolls of paper.

The idea of the film is simple. How to visualize the warmth of natural gas? By the use of the stop motion technique, we see how warmth spreads through the house as knitted wool.
A month of preparation, 4 days and night shoot, with a professional crew of over 40 men, shot live and in stopmotion with 4 different cameras. A film of TBWA Brussels, directed by Olivier Babinet produced by Lovo Films.

Here is how St.Lucia is celebrated here in Norway.
Santa Lucia is celebrated on December 13th. It is usually celebrated with a girl dressed in a white gown with a red sash or glitter belt, wearing an evergreen wreath with candles on her head. She is followed by a number of girl attendants, also dressed in white with one candle in there hand. The boys, "star-boys", also participate in the ceremony. They too are dressed in white gowns and they wear pointed hats and a stick with a star on.
At home:
The Lucia (the oldest girl in the family) wakes up her family by bringing a tray of coffee/tea and sweet-buns called "lussekatter"- translates to Lucia’s Cats. It is also custom to share lussekatter with the closes neighbours if they don’t have children.
Kindergarten:
The oldest children in the kindergarten 5-6 years old have a candlelight parade. They sing carols and give away lussekatter. The younger children and all the parents are invited to come and look at the parade. The parade then goes of to a retirement home, where they sing and give away some more lussekatter. The people there thank the Queen of Light, Lucia, for bringing hope during the darkest time of the year.
Schools:
The youngest children at the school have a candlelight parade. They sing carols and give away lussekatter to the other students.
In some towns:
Offices and communities sponsor candlelight parades in the evening, in which carols are sung.
Hotels
There is often an early Lucia breakfast this day.

Movie Monday#25 Vincent
Vincent is a 1982 stop-motion short film written, designed and directed by Tim Burton and Rick Heinrichs. At approximately six minutes in length, there is currently no individual release of the film. It can be found on the Special Edition and Collector's Edition DVDs of The Nightmare Before Christmas as a bonus feature and on the Cinema16 DVD American Short Films.
The film is narrated by actor Vincent Price, a life-long idol and inspiration for Burton. From this relationship, Price would go on to appear in Burton's Edward Scissorhands. Vincent Price later said that the film was "the most gratifying thing that ever happened. It was immortality — better than a star on Hollywood Boulevard.
