Hi, I'm Seal and I'm an artist & musician living above my studio/shop in a harbour town in Sweden with my husband & two kids. I make videos documenting the journey of being a full time artist, appreciating and creating with nature and crafting my dream life, in the hopes of inspiring you to pursue your own unique version of a dream life.
Absoloutely love your chilled vibe! As a fellow capetonian (currently living in London), but dreaming of moving to Sweden, your channel is giving me so much inspiration - thanks so so much!
I hope your family never sells that magical place. I was wondering what you call the tool you used to cut the long grass. We call it a whipper snipper. Lastly, I love how you said you realised your husband is your forever. There is such joy in knowing you have found your beloved.
Hehe a whipper snipper 😄 I know it as a weed whacker which, now come to think of it, is a pretty funny name too ☺️ hope you’re having a wonderful week. 💕
@@EllenThulin So the American/Canadian term for you guys. I think Aussies say whipper snipper because of a brand name. Who knows! We say a lot of unusual things haha.
Wow the butterfly moment of your gran visiting the family gathering pressing flowers 💔🌈🦋🌸🌷🌻 What a beautiful sentiment to share. I’m sure one day, you’ll look back at these films here and treasure them as lovely memories to keep.🥰 You have a wonderful voice as well, I’m beyond excited to have come across your RU-vid account. Hope to sing with you some day maybe. Much love again 💕
What a beautiful video and family moments captured. It is very wholesome to watch and learn about the philosophy of trees growing together. And a nice quote to live on day to day in peace with what has been adding our own touches to ground we share. Me and my little son want to move to Sweden from Germany too. It’s a similar story of my a place in the forest, where my father has built a cabin in the woods at a lake (of course) on to enjoy life at. But it never really happened for him. I want to renovate this magical place and get my child to enjoy nature and growing up wild. It’s so overwhelming at times through to think of where to start. I am excited to getting more into your videos from a similar path. I hope to grow a vegetable garden and have some animals alongside us there and be able to create my art and music. Wishing you and family well and sending all my love to you and yours
Hi Gabriella 😊 thank you so much for your kind words 🌸 I know what you mean with feeling sometimes that it’s a bit too overwhelming to know where to start…we had been talking & dreaming about making the move for 7 years before the pandemic pushed us to making the decision to just go for it, so things definitely take the time they need to :) having the confidence that “everything is figureoutable” has definitely helped me in moving forwards when I’m feeling scared about the unknown :) All the very best wishes for you & your son! and keep me updated on when/how the move goes :) much love 💕
Oh dear Ellen, what a heartwarming and personal response and encouragement. Thank you so very much! 🥰 haha I love that, yes especially living with kids is very much a day to day question of what’s-figureoutable and what’s to leave for another day, isn’t it? I am a preschool teacher and artist.. I hope that I will have enough time to work for some income next to renovating the place basically on my own.😅 I’m thinking of hosting woofers maybe. It might be lovely to do have some extra hands and also share the beautiful space with like minded nature lovers. Still daunting all the projects that need to get done. But as always lives a journey and better to try not to rush it by. Time passing by is the only constant, so hopefully we can make the most of it and enjoy all the little beauty moments inbetween when we get to it. Wishing you wonderful summer days and I’m very happy to update you, thanks 🤗💐 Maybe some day we’ll meet. I love the peaceful land and silence but I also love meeting inspiring humans and communities to lay my heart into. Our summer house is about 30min south of Jönköping in Småland between. Can’t wait to be there in less than a month now 🥰
Can you help me out with a bit of a geography type puzzle. Did you mention in the last vlog that you grew up in SA? Your parents live in Denmark but your Gran lived in Sweden? What language was your dad speaking? Also, and I’m not sure why, I imagine that your husband is German? Or that you speak German? The flowers you showed were so beautiful. Katherine
Hi Katherine 🌸haha yes, i can totally see why you’re confused 😊 my mother is Danish, my father is Swedish and I was born in Denmark. Both my parents have always spoken Danish to me - or it’s more Danglish (Danish mixed with a lot of English words) when I was 4 we moved to SA and I lived there until I was 18. My husband also grew up in SA but has German parents so yes he speaks German…we lived in Berlin for 5 years before moving to Sweden so the kids were born there and which is why I speak a little German too :)
Again I am profoundly touched by your video! For this summer I plan to visit a place in sweden, where we spent most of the holidays when I was a child. We don't own that property anymore, but I found a holiday apartment close by. I'm sure it will be bittersweet to go back but also fun to make new memories with my kids. It is in Halland so unfortunatly to far for us to visit your artgallerie. I will defenetly think of you, when visiting this place! ♥
It makes me really happy to read that the video moved you ☺️💕 thank you Lou! So exciting that you’re coming to Sweden for a holiday, it’s a pity I won’t get to meet you this time but who knows, maybe Halland is calling you back and you end up finding a new property there to continue the tradition of Swedish summer holidays 😉☺️
Ellen, thank you. From the scenes by the water, the clouds, those precious children in the backyard, you nearly tipping on the kitchen chair and all the way to those paper flowers. The videography and music. All so beautiful and artistic. Thank you.
Aw thank you so much for your kind message! I really appreciate it 😊🌸 I see you have 10 children, that’s amazing! I can’t even imagine what a fun filled household that must be ☺️ wishing you all the very best!! 🥰
