Lördag!! (That means saturday in Swedish!)


First weekend here and I had to go in to work. Apparently one of the girls who was going to be working with us, was also a designer, and she just got a job styling for a reality tv show, so she will not have time to help Camilla. So Camilla wanted me to come in to discuss what we would be doing for the summer. I had to go in to the studio around 3 which gave me some time to just explore in the morning. I walked to the water front and found a nice place to sit and draw. I drew for an hour or so and it was so peaceful.
(My quick little sketch)

(This coffee shop on the right side of the picture had little tables that fit over the steps so that their seating could be all up and down the steps outside. It was funny).

Then I went for a little bit more of a walk. I then went to the studio. We moved some patterns and fabric to another studio space so that I can cut and sew while she does some more designing. She wants to have the samples for the fall collection done in 2 weeks, and there are 7 more coats to make. So that will be my job along with helping to create the sponsor kit for the fashion show. Afterwards I decided to continue my walk to Langholmen, an island used mostly for camping, with a large park in it.

It was about a 30 minute walk but it was so worth it. I walked to the top of the island and sat on rocks with a stunning view of Stockholm city! There were people laying in the sun all over, and I drew some more and just relaxed in the sun.


I walked home, and attempted to rent a movie from the movie rental store near my apartment. But apparently you need to be a Swedish citizen to do that, which made sad.

Good night!
