Weekly update 42/52 New fleece hats ready for the cooler weather

   

Weekly update 41/52 Time for warmer hats, nice books and last garden projects

  October and week 41 and I have been making lots of new jersey hats with fleece lining. The weather is getting colder and colder and yes hat season is here. I will during the week add new fun warm hats in my web-shop. The hats will also be sold at Christmas markets here in Örebro.  New this year for me is that I am making baby hats since I got a lot of requests. I find it hard to make baby hats because they look so small, it is hard to remember how small babies are.  Also this week big happiness over at new book release from my favorite children book illustrator Sven Nordqvist. "Vägen Hem" a wonderful book with amazing illustrations.   I have also bought and planted some new plants inspired from some nice park arrangements here in Örebro. Now lets hope that all the deer in the forrest will not eat all of these, as I forgot to check wether or not these are tasty to them. In our country-house in the forrest they tend to come and eat everything they like and they have no mercy.

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

Weekly Update 39/59 Beautiful September in the woods and hat production

 Last week of September gave us nice sunny warmnweather. Thank you September for compensating for a rainy and cold summer. Weekend in Lundsätter and the forrest is mass-producing nice big chanterelles, I love it. The forrest is my element and it makes me happy and satisfied to walk up and enjoy the trees, the moss and the silence.  I was also doing some smaller projects in the garden. My honeysuckle that I planted last year has grown strong and it needed something to climb on so me and my dad built a small support. I love fixing in the garden, in my way with the philosophy it is better to do something the way I want it with trail and error rather then aiming for perfection because then the magic is lost and the nothing would grow in the garden at all.  After the autumn market I got a few orders of warm hats with fleece lining for smaller kids. So I focused on making quit a few cute hats with fleece linning for 1-2 year olds. I will add them to the web shop this week.
