A new blue baby

It has been over a month, so i thought i would share a little about what i have been up to, which is not very much.

I started on my new job, which is hard - teaching 4th grade!

But it is getting better and easier, along whith the kids getting to know me and I them.

The school where i work, is a small school in the coun

tryside, so i had to get a car...and how lucky am I, my very (own) first car is also one my absolute dreamcars.

A Fiat 500

Here is my little blue baby, isn't it just the cutest little thing? I would love to get fluffy white clouds on the sides of it...

The inside - also blue :-)

I would love to get family portraits taken - whit a 50's-style picnic theme, like these. Of course with the Fiat in the background.

I just love these photos from LIFE, shot by Leonard Mccombe, se more here.

This picture is from my sisters wedding in 2007, (shot by me). I would like to get one of the old ones, one day, maybe a pretty pink one...

Last but not least, the first thing on my christmas list a Dianamini, also small, cute and blue, would be perfekt for the new car.

I am officially a teacher now

I had my final exam yesterday, religion. I passed with a fairly good grade, so I am happy.

Happy to be done. My boys gave me these flowers.

They also wanted to give me a new chair for my desk

(maybe just a chair - since i dont have one know)

But they were unsure which one i wanted

- I am too, what do think?

I'm leaning towards the Tolix chair - but i'm unsure about the color. I really want to put a lot of colors into our living room, but i don't know which!

This is actually the Eames chair I really (really really) want - maybe this color, maybe pink!!

The other day i had a photoshoot with this little angel - Elias

He was really easy to work with and so cute!

I'v been gone for too long

It has been allmost 3 weeks since my last post so a lot has been going on. 

The 21st of may i went to "Livsstilsmesse på Ledreborg".

It is a really beautiful place, filled with lots of beautifull things (very overpriced things). The weather was ok, but not great, so i didn't take that many pictures. 

The carnival came to town, and Benjamin had his very first ride in the bumper cars. 

...and his very first ride down the big slide - the girl next to him is my best friends daughter, Kamille.

In-between all this i had to prepare for my art exam. Which meant making two Red ridinghood collages. In the process i learned (my self) how to embroider, I'm not sure I'm doing it right, but I am pretty satisfied with the result - see pictures below.

Yesterday was exam day, so i put up all the art work i have made in class for the past two years.

...and the exam project.

This is my Jim Houser paraphrase (yes also Red ridinghood)

The whole thing!

I past the exam, not greatly, but I'm ok with the grade.

Today we are going to a summer-party at the kindergarden! So i have just baked 40 pigs in a blanket...

Home again and a new job

We are home again, after a really nice week on Rhodes in Greece, though we had a couple of days with at bit of wind and rain. The water was very cold but we went in anyway...

I absolutely love the old town in Rhodes-city, i have been there once before and was really looking forward to show Benjamin the castle, he loved it...

...and came to love knights even more

The view from our room

...and the cutest ice-cream ever!

I went to my very first jobinterview yesterday...and i got the job. I'm going to be a teacher on a small school (120 students from grade 0 til 7th.) and the best part is that i'm also going to be the school-librarian. I don't know many details yet, waiting for them to call me. I start the first of august.

Today i'm working on one of the last project for my artclass, it has to be something which is made on the computer. A couple of weeks ago i stumbled upon  scannography which is basically making pictures/collage directly on your scanner. It can produce som really beautiful images (i haven't made these) 

I will show you mine when I'm done with them.

A little break!

Benjamin and I went to the playground for a little picnic, together with my oldest and best friend Signe and her son Anton (my godson :-)) It was really nice to get away from the school work, (which is driving me crazy, I have given my self until friday to get i done, it is due monday the 4th, so..). But it was a fun hour, and just relaxing. At the moment we are having really warm and sunny weather, allmost summer-like. Benjamin is spending all the time he can outside with his dad.

By the way, i failed my drivers-test...oh well I'll pass some day :-)

Van Gogh meets Central Park

Inspired by these...

...I made this, for a school project!

Light at the end of the tunnel

I can finnaly see the end of my Bachelor-project, I'm going to turn it in on Tuesday. Deadline is Friday but I'm going til Holbæk anyway on Tuesday, because benjamin is going to a check-up at the hospital, because of his astma. He was home sick Wednesday, so i did not get so much work done.

So sweet

I'm really looking forward to relaxing and thinking about christmas-stuff, and just having fun with my family. I did actually take photos of my scrapbook pages, but the turned out really bad, so i'll try again later. Now i'll concentrate on my school work, and just get it done, I actually really don't care anymore how it's going to turn out, I just want to finish...

Brain melt down

I have been so busy lately, there has been no time og energy to blog at all. A lot is going on, though nothing to write about. It's all about school work - even thoug i actually no schooldays left this year. Next week we have a fall-break and after that it's 4 weeks of work at a privat-school in Tølløse (together with to other girls from my class) above all that we all have to write our Bachelor. So Benjamin is not one of the lucky kids who is going to stay home with mom and dad all next week. He is getting only thursday and friday off. Thursday he is going to the zoo with my parents and my sisters youngst daughter, Mie (if it is not raining - let's hope not). And friday it is just me and him. Any fun suggestions?

Brian shot these pix about a week ago. Great fall weather. (and a smiling cow)
