I love the fact that non-swedes have discovered the Gävle Goat and are all cheering for it's inevitable annual demise

Snug in the old-fashioned sense of the word, the kitchen has more breathing space than normally found in small houses. Extra-wide doorways lead to the dining room, easing the way for food transportation and movement of furniture. Similarly, French doors allow extra light to shine into the woody room, and the terrace becomes an outdoor dining or sitting 'room' when weather permits.

three painted pots i will be selling at fijuk marknad in gothenburg saturday 27 april!

I'm surprised I haven't drawn Spinel more, everything about her character just clicks so well with what i like (toony, weird arms, PINK, an angsty goof). Drift away is one of my favorite SU songs as well, gosh she breaks my heart. ; ;

Painted this for a dear friend, mentor, and coworker that moved on for amazing opportunities. He always had my back and I know I wouldn't have succeeded as a coach as well as I did without him. I'm really grateful for all he did for me and I'll admit it's going to be difficult without him.

He loves Swedish Chef and the Muppets, so I had to draw the silly Muppet for a silly guy.

Muppet Paintings: Tiny Edition!✨ Back in Oct 2023, I got VERY into painting on tiny canvases with acrylics.. I don't have the exact dimensions on me, but check out my hand in the second pic for scale lol In this batch, we have Rizzo, Swedish Chef, and Robin~! I think I'm most proud of how Chef came out *-*

I've always wondered if it was possible to both love and hate a drawing at the same time, and i think i managed to achieve that today - Happy Easter! 🐓

Lussekatt aka lussebulle aka saffransbulle aka lussekuse aka julkuse aka dyvelskatt - kärt bakverk har många namn 🤤 Maybe these seem strange if you dont have an emotional connection to the saffron bun. They are a tradition for advent, Lucia and jul (christmas) here in Sweden - let me know if you have the same in other countries? Fun fact: they used to be called dyvelskatt/dövelskatt meaning ”devils cat”.

There are some necklaces and tea infusers for your fika in my shop! https://www.nymla.se/shop These here are real edible saffron buns:

I see a lot of confused comments on what “Sommarprat” is. Is it an interview? A podcast? Can you watch it? So, here is some info on what “Sommarprat” is.

It’s so much more than a podcast. It’s Swedish core and has a long tradition and is like it’s own prestigious institution. Sommarprat at the radio station P1 (no you can’t watch it) on Sveriges Radio is broadcasted during every summer on P1 starting at 1:00 p.m. The presenters are specially invited "summer hosts" (or "summer speakers"), who are responsible for each day. They introduce themselves, talk about freely chosen topics and play music of their own choice. The “talk” is 90 minutes including music of the “speakers” choice.

The first show was aired June 29th year 1959 so it has been aired for over 60 year’s. It is a show that I would say most Swedes are aware of and some listen to all episodes. It’s very honorable to be selected and some/many compare it to as it is almost like getting ennobled/knighted due to the honor.

All “talks” are not just aired but also reviewed in media. The ones that get most attention are usually very emotional or surprising showing new sides to a person or when people talk on specific important or fun topics. There is a mix of “speakers”and different storylines over the summer and some are more experts talking on their subject like climate change etc or people picking one topic that has impacted their life as Edvin talked about how YR. It can also be more of a light hearted humor talk people telling anecdotes from their career and life. It can be anything really, but people get to tell their story on something that is important to them in a way they have had the time to prepare to do.

All “speakers” gets a producer that they plan and create the Sommarprat with so they are all usually very well made. So glad Omar got Mark Levengood, perfect match.
