Yes, it's that time of the year again. No, I am not talking about christmas. I am talking about the photoshoot for next catalogue. 

I am definately gonna be in that one. I have been photobombing all day (actually photographer are starting to look a bit annoyed now). 

Well, happy weekend all animal lovers!

Traditional Swedish baking

Hello dear friends!

In December in Sweden we have a tradition to make "lussebullar". It is sweet buns spiced with saffron and stuffed with a few raisins. I like them a lot. Usually we eat them at the same time as we eat gingerbread cookies and drink "glögg" which is warm spiced wine.  Aren't we just crazy?

A "lussebulle" that looks like me.

 Bathing in buns.

After a meal of "lussebullar" you can go out and shop for Christmas presents.

Bye bye!

Big in Belgium

Another media clip that feels wonderful. It is the actress Patsy Van Der Meeren, famous from belgian TV, that is showing off me, and her cute baby, in a magazine.

But you know, fame isn't that important to me. Everyone is equally important.

Warsaw - with Janne żaba

Hello.

I have been to Warsaw. Look at the delicious food that they have. This is...tartre, I think it was called. It is like raw beef, vegetables and spices. Very nice.

But of course I wasn't there to eat. I was there to meet two fantastic ladies that is going to sell LipFish clothes and things in Poland. They were very kind to me so I suggest that you take a look at their nice website.

Here it is: www.mababy.pl

I wonder where I will go next time?

Lots and lots of Janne Groda

We got a package today. From China. With loads of mini-versions of me! But it looks really really crowded there in that vacuum packed bag. Nonetheless, everyone of my small clones is smiling. As we always do. And who can avoid smiling in my company? Consider then if there is hundreds of me stuffed together.It's a veritable smiling party.

These stroller toys will be available for purchase this summer and autumn, depending on where you live.

Janne went to Paris

Paris in the spring. Isn't that a song or something? A poem? Well, anyway, I went to Paris for a little mini holiday. And it was great. Great food. Nice people. Famous buildings.

By the way, I know that they serve a horrible horrible dish in France - but I still have my legs!

The most famous Parisian structure - the Eiffel tower. I couldn't believe it was so small. Look, I am almost as tall! Just kidding.

The Louvre. Way to many people wanted to see the Mona Lisa though. So I skipped it. 

Sacre Coeur in Montmartre. On the highest hill in Paris. Here I was very tired in my frog legs.

The fountain of the artist Igor Stravinsky. I really liked his colourful sculptures. They reminded me of my LipFish friends.

That's all for this time. Take care.

Janne goes to Hongkong

Hello everyone!

I have been away on an amazing trip halfway around the world to Hongkong. Boy, it was a looooong flight - but it was worth it. I got to see a fantastic city, meet nice people and also took some time to travel inside the "real" China. Here, take a look at these pictures I took.

The Hongkong skyline. They have some really high buildings there.

In China, the food was really really nice. Except for one dish. Frog legs!!! I was SO upset!

This is me in Shenzhen, China. They had a lot of cars there. A lot. It was a really big city.

Even at the hotel you couldn't see the end of the city. It was huge.

This is the shop of Cosmo Beebies in Hongkong. (www.cosmobeebies.com) Here you can buy stuff from LipFish.

Look! Here I am. Waiting for a new friend.

And here is Christina, the very nice owner of Cosmo Beebies. If you ever go to Hongkong, be sure to visit the store. They had some very nice things there.
