Xmas, recession and unemployment

Recessions also affects the Christmas spirit in many ways.

This year one group is especially affected, the Christmas Angels

A series of layoffs and an increase level of unemployment has hit these Xmas figures.

The Angels traditional tasks around Christmas is to spin round and round the angels chimes and to decorate the Christmas tree, but this year those jobs has gone to Santas and ginger cookie men.

It is facts that the Christmas decoration are increasingly dominated by men. Christmas feminists rage against this development and is currently having crisis talks to come up with a plan to break this trend.

Jul, lågkonjunktur och arbetslöshet

Lågkonjunkturer drabbar även julen på många sätt.

Just i år är det en grupp som är extra drabbade, Julens änglar.

En rad varsel och en allt högre grad av arbetslöshet har drabbat dessa glädjespridare.

Änglarnas traditionella arbetsuppgifter såsom dansa runt runt i änglaspelen och att dekorera julgranarna har i år gått till tomtarna och pepparkaksgubbarna. Att juldekorationerna har blivit alltmer mansdominerade är ett faktum med kulörta kulor, bockar och gubbar hit och dit. Julfeministerna rasar mot denna utveckling och sitter just nu i krissamtal för att komma upp med en plan för att bryta denna trend.

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 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.
