cotton candy and ceramic crushing. nice things one could do on a sunday, if one was up for it. the 2nd photo is of rachel weisz by craig mcdean for another mag.
other things that are ok about winter: yum (/strange) breakfasts and homemade fruit jams in tiny bottles.
reminder to self: winter is not just all cold and dark, there is room for some crumble aux pommes and cake aux épices too! illustration by ghostbees.
bricks, lights and perfect balcony breakfasts. the sources are unknown but the photos could be via moc-ha. awesome tumblr anyways. time for a nap, have a nice wednesday you guys!

i know one shouldn’t blame outer circumstances for some things, especially training, but i can’t help but think some of my disinterest in sports during school was because of the gymnastics halls. always dull, dark, standardised and plain awful. now that i am a little older i actually enjoy sports, as soon as the necessitation of the weekly school gym hour disappeared, so did my scorn for working out. i’m not saying it has to be as luxurious and wonderful as the la tourelle sarcelles school gym in france, but perhaps a little more bright and modern?
what if, for example, architecture and design students got to redesign some of the school gyms? not entirely rebuild them as it would probably be too costly but just some renovation + a little innovation.
that would make me more engaged. if i was 15 again i mean. (luckily i am not.)
the first photo is by rivane neuenschwander.
mondays are kind of lousy. so i guess one simply has to look to the details or something. i never do this of course, i just hurry through the day and cram in as much as possible. but if i would pay a bit extra attention, i would use shamelessly soft bed linens and wear dresses with back details that only i knew of. i imagine it would feel better.
sleeping for 14 hours, looking through weird recipes (coconut shrimp, never thought i would say it but it looks kind of yummy) and working with no deadline (well yet). a great sunday. and i have loads of lovely photos in my folders, this is going to be a great week i think!

Where are you originally from and what do you do for a living?
I live in Copenhagen, Denmark with my husband and daughter. Here I am studying for my Masters in Digital Design & Communication. I also work as a web designer – together with two friends I make web sites and graphic design under the name Youngest.
How does a regular working day look like for you?
I get up every day around 7 when my daughter wakes up. When she is off to day care I either work from home on different web projects or go to school at the IT University of Copenhagen. After my daughter comes home we all spend a couple of hours playing and cooking and eating dinner and at night I often work until I remember that I have to get up early in the morning.
What’s on your to-do list?
Blogging, all my different projects, home work -and preparing food for my birthday this weekend.[/column]
[column width=”43%” padding=”0″]
What is influencing and inspiring you right now?
Blogs are a constant source of inspiration. When ever I feel I’m loosing my inspiration I look through links on blogs I like and always find something new that gets me going. Also my everyday life inspires me. Being able to work on stuff I like is really exciting.
What’s your top tip to anyone who want’s to pursue a career in your field?
The beauty of web design is, that if you have a computer and an internet connection, nothing can stop you. You can just dive into it and explore code, design and all the endless possibilities out there. Once you learn one technique, a code language for example, new things appear and you can only try to keep up.
What would you like to do in the future?
I would feel very lucky if I get to keep working with digital design -my dream is to have a job where I can work with my best friends and still have time for my family.
