Not good!

I am such a bad blogger. I haven't updated in such a long time. BAD MARIA!

What has happened in my little condo since last time I wrote......

I had an awesome housewarming party on Aug 1st. It was so much fun. I had visitors from all over the place! Stockholm, Germany, Norway, the US and then all my friends from here. It was a crazy day and I wouldn't have made it if my sister, Annette, Martin and Anna hadn't helped me with the food.

Here is a picture from the great brunch we had the day after the party. Aaaw, I miss these people!

The leek came back in my bathroom.........so annoying. I spent a month or two at my parents house again and then FINALLY I was able to move back in.

Christmas was great, I decorated A LOT. I love christmas. I had a little Christmas party to show off my decorations. Next xmas I will have even more, even better!!!

I have some new things in my condo that I wanna post here on the blog. I gotta take pictures of them first. Check back soon.

Sorry again that I am such a bad blogger.

Ps. I am also working on my blog/website for my photography.

4 new pics, 4th of July weekend!

Hello!

It is really hot outside which means I haven't spent a lot of time in my condo/sauna!

Enjoy four new pics!

My bookshelf now has light!

My sister gave me two housewarming towels from Lexington! I love them!

Dishes, dishes!

This is my Cokesign. I bought it at an American festival on 4th of July! Love it!

BBQ in MY garden!!

Today my dad, sister and Jimmy came over to BBQ in my garden. The sun was shining and it was really nice to sit down there. 

Earlier today I went to the grocery store and got myself some food supplies. I have lived in my condo for a little more than a week now without any food. Little by little, I am  creating a little household! :-)

Sister is home

Today my sister came back from London. She has moved home for good. We had dinner at at restaurant, mom, dad, my sister and I. It was nice. I invited them in for a cup of coffee afterwards. It felt very grown up.... We had a good time (except that my dad had to watch some soccer game on TV the entire time)

I am no longer cat sitting as my sister stole her cats from me! :-( They liked hanging out in the bookshelf. So cute!  Can you see them?

As for the bookshelf, it is empty and dark. We're installing lights in it this weekend.

Enjoy two new pics!

Some of my stuff

I have so much stuff in moving boxes from my time in LA and stuff that I have gathered throughout the years. Little by little, I am unpacking. Today, I will be posting a lot of pictures! I am starting out with illustrations by Sanaz Memarian. She is an LA-based graphic designer who made these illustrations in 2003. I have always loved them , and she gave them to me a couple of years ago. They now hang in my kitchen!

 I found the gumball machine that Nina gave me for my graduation. It is awesome! 

Yesterday, Annette came over with a cute cookie tray! It fits perfectly either in the living room filled with cookies OR in the bedroom with little candles and roses on it. We'll see where it ends up.  

Before going to bed last night, I printed three pics for some of my frames. The goal is to fill the condo with photos of memories! 

I am catsitting for my sister's two cats Johnny and Bullen. They are cute. It's nice to have some company!

I have an old 22" TV in my living room now. It's my sister's old TV. It doesn't have a remote (and Universal remotes do not support it) and the picture quality is not very good, but it serves its purpose and I have watched it a lot already.

I'm now finally connected to the internet as well.  The connection is F*A*S*T and I love that! I will have a home phone connected through the internet. I will get back to you with that number. No prank calling though!

What else.......on Thursday I will have a little Tupperware party here at 6:30pm.  That's gonna be fun mostly because I will use my cookie tray! :-)

Ok, that's all for today.

Ta ta!

Pics from my first night

Well, these pictures may not be a lot to look at......but they symbolize a very important moment in my life!
