Yesterday evening I went out with my eldest daughter Anouk to the Theatre Betty Nansen , to watch an old play Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, but made as a modern play, where its acting, modern music, ballet, dance, and beautiful beautiful scenography, stagelight and subtle stage terms. It was both amusing and at the same time touching. We the audience applauded them big time afterwards.
Kalaallisuut = the traditional greenlandic national costume.
In some months we have celebration time in our family and are now planning the celebration cloth. For big occassions like ending schools (they are 16 and 20years old) we of course wear our national greenlandic costumes, although we are in Denmark now, and that it will be very very warm to wear them end june. It will be so special and we will have some pictures at stairs made so the girls are having images from different periods of their lifes. Below from different life events!
Their new school chapters will be university for my eldest daughter and a year long youth folk school “folke højskole” next to the Wadden Sea in West Denmark (a danish school form) for my youngest daughter.
Is our new little webshop on instagram : iMADETHETHINGS
My eldest daughter is home from her school (as well as my youngest), so I asked her to start a webshop with our own homemade things, vintage things, things from our home we dont use anymore, things bought out there in the lovely world, now when we are minimalist’ ….then she has something to do during the lockdown and at the same time earn some money.
Im knitting today or actually Im correcting mistakes. The nice half mittens/gloves in rosa and yellow a gift for my eldest daughter (as the purple and blue which already are done and gifts for my youngest daughter) I was so concentrated about the pattern that I missed making the knitpreparing for the thumb part…so right now Im knitting back wards 20 rows 🤣
The green project a v-neck slipover in lovely merino and mohair wool needs a circula knitting needle in a size I dont have – so although I was in the mood for finishing it today I have to wait until tomorrow.
And last project – a very ooold project, a beautiful merinowool blouse for myself – the needle broke – and then life came in between – so I think that february (after birthday month for the girls), I will finish this project – and wear it.
And then every december month I remember an old project (worked on it intensely for 6 months more than 20 years ago and then I was very busy with my final project at the Danish Design school, so this and other projects had to wait. I should finish the edge so we could use it, and then get inspired to finish it…lets see…meantime my eyesight have changed a lot 😂 so when Im going to finish the project I will need a huge magnifying glass lamp. I went for a 5 week embroidery vacation when the children were small at Skals craft school. That was such a nice gift for myself – embroidery and knitting for 5 weeks. Im going to pay the school another long term visit…because its so wonderful to work with your crafting projects 8-12 hours a day.
One of the local ones in Aarhus – “Kirkens Korshær” – in an old painters store – the most cosy, warm, colourful salvation army with wonderful staff…They asked me to volunter with interiorhelp from time to time and I said yes 🙂
And the last two photos me walking and seeing the windows of a nice café…

finding some japanese investors and building a beautiful place in the amazing fiords of Nuuk, Greenland…one day, I know, step by step…come and visit my future place…
I must admit…Huge, massive project and many hours of crocheted work. Pure yarn joy…
I like yarnbombing also called street knit, knifitti, guerilla knit, yarn storming, urban knitting, grafitti knitting, ….a type of grafitti and movement around the world..where colourful knit or crochet is like paint in the public space..usually its about reclaiming or personalizing sterile public spaces…
There actually exist an international yarnbombing day…great…
