Dreaming

Please, tell me all of you;
Do you talk about your dreams
or do you keep them secretly to yourself?

The glassveranda
Please follow me into my imagined house - You enter right here through the glass-veranda. Glass to the right, glasss behind you and glass on the left wall. But through the left glasswall you have a view into Hans room where he has his grandpiano (we will take a closer look there later). Here in the glassveranda with has a south direction it is very light and glittery with a little round table where you can sit and have tea. Here are lots of pots of flowers. It has a crystal crown/lamp in the cealing. The floor here has Portugese- or Morocko-made tiles.

Entering
Now, if you enter this door infront of you, you will enter the house. Welcome! Please hang your coat to thee right. You see the floors here are high polished concrete floors; simple, cheap, yet very elegant and durable. Straight ahead you have a big mirror.

WC
Please, take a look into the little WC on the right. No, you don´t have to, but you know it is in there in case you´ld need to go there…

The heart
If you turn your head left instegad you´ll look into the heart of this house. Here are wooden floors. The cealing in here is 4 meters. You see two beautiful bowshaped windows. Through one of them there is a door out into the green garden. The whole house is very well connected with the outside. In this room is a table that measure 1.20 x 3.60. It is thick. Around this table you do everything. Along the wall facing the windows there is a long cupboard about 90 cm high. You may, When you like, place beautiful things on top of it. The idea is to place everything inside of it that you need to live a full and creative life; glue, scissors, paper, sewingmachine… you name it! There is plenty of space. The table has room for 16 chairs but there are much fewer, so it will feel spacious. All chairs are different. Noaks chair is blue.

Hans room
If you walk back to the room behind this, you will enter Hans rom with his grand piano in the middle. When Noak and I dreameed about this house together the other night, and I thought of this room as being orange, I asked Noak what color it should have, he said “orange“. (We have never talked about orange walls before). Hans room, like all the three rooms facing west, has a hight of 4 meters. He has a bench with soft cusions along one side and a low cupboard for notes and little instruments along the wall on the opposite wall.

The kitchen
Lets run through “the heart” again and into the kitchen. The wall separating the heart from the kitchen is of glass. The woodframes are painted in light grey. I do not know this kitchen yet. But it should be practical and inviting.

Our bedroom
Inside the kitchen you can turn right and enter Hans and my bedroom. In here it is 2.70 to the cealing, just like in the whole eastern part of the building (and the kitchen). This is a peaseful room where you may go at all time of day or night for silence.

Dressingroom
Between our room, the bathroom and Noaks room is a dressingroom with all our clothes.

Bathroom
The bathroom has a big window behind the bathtub with a beautiful scenery outside. In here is the washing machine too.

Noaks room
Noaks room, wich isn´t that big, has a beautiful window in it.

The corridor
Above the narrow corridor running vertically though the house, dividing the east part from the west, is skylight coming in through the roof/cealing. Standing outside the house. On the south or the north side you may look straight through this corridor and out on the other side.

...and also; are your dreams coming true?

P.S.
When I layed down on my pillow
in the evening,
after having drawn this,
I walked through the entrance
and into my dreamhouse.

I walked through each room
and I could see (most) everything very clearly.

I think, in my fantacy
I will revisit it this evening,
bringing some flowers to put in it.

Sundaywalk


We took the subway to Solna.
Bus no513 to Andersgatan.
A short walk across the bridge...
and there we were at Hagaparken,
one of so many lovely places
where you can walk in Stockholm.



This is one of my favouriteflowers
and
this is the "Cupper tent" (click) (click!) originally from 1787 at the Haga park.
The last picture is a picture my grandmother had of this "tent".
For a close-up of the (blurry) people click at this little
picture!

We took a walk. On our way back, I we saw a very beautiful grafitti on the wall!

When is this painting going to be ready?
When it is we will CELEBRATE summer!

I am working on the background
over and over.
Plus a few, little strokes here and there.
And her teeth. Gotta get them right.
Please, no more smiles! No more teeth.

However, I have had a good workingday!

I uploaded these pictures directly
from my camera. Saved LOTS of time.
Usually I improve my pictures
in photoshop before publishing.

In the afternoon and in the evening.

Britta came and ate with us.
Behind her,
on the wall
is a plan of the house
I am dreaming of.

Do you talk about your dreams
or do you keep them to yourself?
Are your dreams coming true?

I am going to bed now.
It is late.
Sweet dreams to you!
Click!

A Sundaywalk in the surroundings
of Görvälns castle.

From the castle through the woods
while Noak was sleaping
to a little café.

Mansuetude; It is a berry (fruit?)
that looks very much like
that Chinese lantern.
Good to eat!
Can never remember the name of it though...


Then through the heavy rain
to the bus-stop.

Back home 45 minutes later.

A new cupboard!
This holds three times as much as the previous cupboard
that was in our kitchen
(That one is now in Noaks room).
I am sorting my things.
Now my things are easier to find and use.
Also I like that I can lock it.
Welcome over to have a peak!

Evelina with Noak this evening.
She is three days younger.
I learned to know her Mother Tatiana
when I was pregnant with Noak
and she was pregnant with Evelina...

Noak was very proud as he had something to show his little friend...

He has his very own room!

Stove from Mother


Bear from Anna and Elsie
Bench made by Grandfather.


Car from Didish



It feels as thougt every thing in his room

has a significance and connection this far.
We will try to keep the number of toys down
to favor his fantasy.


Round star-blancet
that he was brought home in.
The cupboard
we used to have in our kitchen
has now Noaks name written on its back.
He has his toys in it now.



Rabbit made by Cecilia.
Cat made by Linda.

Noak is sleeping sweetly right now in his bed.
He loves his bed and seems to have no thought of
moving back with mom and dad.
