Birds coolest hang-out



Team Nikolovski lives on the top floor of our building.Up here we are close to the clouds as well as to the nature. On our balcony we have enjoyed warm summer nights, nice dinners, sunny days and airplanes that now and then fly too close and makes too much noise. We can see the city in the horizon and gaze at stars at night time. I have replanted the pots from ugly bushes to bright colorful flowers. From summer colors to autumn colors. Next to one of the flowerpots is a wooden bird-feeder placed. It looks very cute and I thought it is placed there just for decoration reasons, but lately there is a little bird who keeps turning up. He lands on the edge of the flowerpot, checks the feeder out and then look at me in a very sweet and a little disappointed way. Before he flies off he skips around the balcony. A short while later he is back. I am surely not a bird lover, but something about this bird got me to buy a bag of tasty seeds and nuts this weekend. Now there is a real bird party here all day long with a bunch of small birds enjoying the food. Its like the bird has sent out a tweet saying that Team Nikolovski's balcony is the place to be. I am happy that the balcony can be utilized winter season as well and I promise to keep up the standard so they keep coming back.

Fest på vår balkong

Vi bor på fjärde våningen eller är det kanske femte våningen, hursom helst vi bor iallafall högst upp i huset vi bor i. Uppe hos är vi nära molnen och samtidigt nära naturen. På vår balkong har vi njutit av varma sommarnätter, goda middagar, heta dagar, flygplan som då och då dånar förbi och stjärnor som lyser. Jag har planterat om från fula buskar till färgglada blommor. Från sommar till höst färger.
Bland dessa blomsterlådor finns ett litet fågelbord, som jag trodde var en söt dekoration för inte letar sig väl fåglarna upp på balkonger för föda. Ack så fel jag haft, för några veckor sedan började en liten talgoxe hänga här. Han landar lite försynt på kanten, tittar in i holken och sedan känns det som han synar mig. Därefter skuttar han runt ett varv innan han flyger vidare för att sedan återkomma en stund senare. Jag är verkligen ingen fågelfantast, men det är något med denna fågel som fick mig att ihelgen köpa en påse med smaskiga frön och nötter. Nu har har Team Nikolovski's balkong blivit småfåglarnas senaste inneställe, ett riktigt partajandes pågår här hela dagarna. Det är som att senaste kvittret i området är att detta är balkongen att hänga på om man är en småfågel.Det känns bra att balkongen kan utnyttjas till max även vintertid och jag ska se till att alla trivs.

Weekly Update 24/52 Making leaving gifts and wine ladies

During week 24 I have been working on preparing thank you gifts for kids teachers and friends. I like to give something symbolic which also can be useful. This year I decided to buy water bottles for the teachers and to make them personalized writing their name and some flowers on them. I bought plain smaller bottles at IKEA. With my Cricut i designed and cut it out of permanent vinyl. With adding vinyl on the bottles, they can only be hand-washed otherwise the vinyl will come off.  After five years in Germany I have gotten so use to saying Frau Janssen rather then using her first name. So I decided that I will use the last name because that is the only name the kids use. Funny how you get use to something that I from the beginning thought was so stupid and old fashion.  When I was playing around with my Cricut I also figured out how to transfer my wine ladies into svg file which is needed so the machine can cut out my illustrations. I did a test with iron on transfer vinyl. I made the

Weekly update 23/52 Düsseldorf Art journals, Tonhalle and pool season

End of May beginning of June this wonderful time of the year and it is starting to be more and more emotional and real that we soon will be packing up and leaving. After this very cold spring it is nice to finally warm up and that the pool season has started. Here in Wittlaer Düsseldorf we have a local pool in Kaiserwerth Freibad Flossenweg where we go to swim. On a normal school day in the afternoon it is not too bad with people but on a hot hot weekend it is very crowded. It is kind of funny living in a place where you meet parents from school and neighbors first fully dressed and then undressed in the pool.  One amazing experience was seeing Düsseldorf Tonhalle from inside where Mila and her school together with four other schools in Düsseldorf had a Sing Pause concert. It was magical to hear them all sing in this old planetarium which has been changed into a concert hall.  My Creative work has been focusing on personalizing Art journals. I bought plain brown paper art journals to t

Weekly update 40/52 Autumn colors and cinnamon buns

Welcome October the most colorful month of the year. Yes we are going full steam towards the darker and colder part of the year, but I have to admit it is cosy and pretty with all the colorful leaves.  I don't know if it is a new thing to have theme days where a dish or something is being celebrated. I am guessing it is a capitalistic marketing great idea so companies can make more money like Valentine day. One of those days in Sweden is 4 of October when our national bakery Cinnamon bun is being honored. I got inspired! Some time ago I bought nice linnen tea-towels which I was planning to make some print/design on and when I got inspired by cinnamon bun I knew exactly what to make. I started scribbling and drawing buns on a big sheet. When I had one or two which I thought looked ok I transfered my bun drawing to my Cricut and had it cut out on iron-on vinyl. My mum is a master in baking buns and so I made a tea-towel/baking-towel in honor of not only cinnamon buns but of my mother
