A taste of winter

Saturday morning Team Nikolovski woke up to a winter land. White fluffy snow was falling down and covering streets and balconies in a white dress. Pretty, but wait a minute it is only October and way too early for snow!!
Mr Nikolovski who is following weather forecasts with a special passion knew that this could happen. He has for sure tried to enlighten me about this, but my ears most often chose not to register weather forecasts. The snow came as a shock to me. I had no idea and had planned to replant my flowerpots this weekend. Now instead my poor geraniums were covered under a heavy blanket of cold wet snow together with the newly bought autumn flowers. Typical!
 
My childhood friends Titti and Tess were spending the weekend with us in Prague. We had planned to enjoy the weekend strolling up and down Prague's streets in nice warm sunny autumn weather. Now instead we had to dress warm with hat and gloves. Zig zag between crazy umbrellas and their owners on wet slushy streets with our mascara running down our faces. Despite this we had a great time and enjoyed our beer and hot chocolate pauses along the way even more.
 
 

En försmak av vinter

I lördags morse vaknade Team Nikolovski till vinter. Snön föll i en rasande takt och klädde gator och balkong med ett vitt täcke. Mysigt och fluffigt med snö, men inte i oktober!
Mr Nikolovski som följer väderleksrapporter med en särskild fokusering och passion, visste att det var påväg och har garanterat försökt upplysa mig om detta. Men för mig kom dessa första flingor som en chock. Mina öron och hjärna har svårt att registerera väderleksprognoser så jag hade helt missat detta. Jag hade dessutom plannerat att plantera om mina balkonglådor under helgen. Nu var istället mina stackars pelargoner gömda under ett vitt, kallt, tungt täcke av snö tillsammans med alla nyinköpta höstblommor.. Typiskt!

Titti och Tess som spenderade helgen hos oss i Prague, var också en smula besvikna att se dessa flingor falla. Vi som hade räknat med en solig höstighelg där vi kunde strosa runt på Pragues gator och titta på folk och vackra byggnader. Nu blev det istället till att pälsa på oss rejält med mössa och handskar. Zick zacka bland galna paraplyer på slaskiga blöta gator med mascaran rinnandes ner för ansiktet.Trots det hade vi mycket trevligt och kunde njuta extra mycket av öl pauserna längs vägen.

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 ...

Weekly update 38/52 Örebro Autumn market in summer sun

  It was exciting to participate at my first market being back in Örebro, Sweden. It was an Autumn market in the beautiful setting of Karlslund Estate in Örebro. Most exhibitor were selling locally grown fruit, veggies and flowers. Also jams, marmelades, bakeries and cheeses. It was a sunny beautiful day and it attracted a lot of people. It was fun to finally again set up my display and show my products. The market stand/table I rented from the organizer and it was perfect size and cute. My best-sellers were my hats in smaller sizes. Amd to next market I need to make more fleece-lined hats since it gets cooler here in Swedem during the winter.
