Thursday, November 17, 2011. DO IT YOURSELF - 100 years of Swedish handicraft. Some of my cross stitches are part of the exhibition GÖR DET SJÄLV - Hemslöjden 100 år.

Tuesday, February 7, 2012. Mixing pop and politics / he asks me what the use is / I offer him embarrassment / and my usual excuses. I almost forgot to post this.

cross yr stitches: that legendary divorce is such a bore
http://crossyrstitches.blogspot.com/2011/10/that-legendary-divorce-is-such-bore.html
Friday, October 28, 2011. That legendary divorce is such a bore. This cross stitch is about family, about how sometimes it doesn't matter if you're connected by blood or by choice - family is family, even though you might not share the same genes.

Cyklopen was built by and for the people, providing a free space for radical art, music, workshops and political meetings. The house has been under construction for about three years and was really starting to see it's full potential during the summer this year. Even though I've just been there once or twice, it feels like such a sad and heartbreaking and stupid thing that's happened. Tonight there was two (legal!
