THE PERSISTENT ORCHID


I have an orchid in my soon-to-be-former home, that keeps in growing and making new branches and new flowers. As soon as the flowers fall off new ones appear. And I don't know how this little fella does it, considering most orchids just come to wither and die under my tl-and-c, as I've pondered upon before.

Not sure what I've done differently this time, perhaps watered it with a more constant routine, or then it's the fact that I only sleep in the apartment a couple of night per week and it grows better that way because it's just not fond of humans.

Either way, I hope this one will survive the move out to the countryside and can keep making me happy with it's amazing prettiness!

MANGO-LEMON VEGAN NO-BAKE CHEESECAKE

Lets start the week with some cake! The other day I was a guest at a radio show where we talked about the usual things that I tend to visit various shows for, but also had some chit chat on different things, one of them being food. But I can't really asnwer the question of weather I cook or not correctly. Perhaps a boring  ' sometimes ' is the right answer. Most of the time I just make what I can get away with quickly (and, as you may recall, due to how I work I most often buy something fast that I have in my car...sniff). But sometimes I do cook properly, and mainly tend to bake things. And I have a habit of not really following recipes, but rather get inspired by them, and often coming up with things myself. So - here is a semi-raw, no-bake, vegan and  gluten free cheesecake without white sugar that I put together for Easter. Ok, I know the above categories will make some go "blah" but for me the thing with making these "free of"-cakes is that they sho

HAPPILY EVER AFTER

You recently saw a couple of the photos we took with AskoJonathan Photography for my Happily Ever After-act. Because behind-the-scenes photos always make things better here's the set up for the series. A lot can be, and is done by photoshop, but the more you can put into the set organically the better. So I had the other photoshootees of the day functioning as ground for my rose bushes. As one does. Obviously the raw shots where there's a faun peeking out under my elbow are the best ones. Here are some shots of how the actual act looks on stage - photo: Bernhard Miettinen photo: Minna Jerrman photo: Bernhard Miettinen It's my most Burton-esque act, that even though it begins eerie and sad, sort of a too-late Sleeping Beauty scenario, actually is rather humorous. In a tragicomic Burton kind of way. It started out as an idea for a quick Halloween act for our own event, where I wanted to dance with, what I first just planned as a ghost out of fabric, but then came up with - a

DAG'S ROOM

Gambar
At the end of last summer we renovated a room for Dag! Ever since we moved out of the flat in the city to stay in the countryside permanently we have been living in a constant renovation state, or rather, the notion of a  we-should-be-renovating  state. Half of our downstairs still consists of a labyrinth of boxes, and while I knew this would be a slow process, it is driving me insane nontetheless. However, slowly but certainly we have managed to get  some things  done:  a year ago we turned what I had referred to as "the renovation hole" into a walk-in closet, and at the end of summer we finally got around fixing Dag a proper room! (Earlier this year we renovated a room for Dag's older brother -the oldest boy has moved away from home to study already- and as late as then we finally also got proper electricity in this room; everything had been with extention chords there forever. We also got electricity to the walk-in closet and some chords and plugs in our bedroom corre
