Vaction edition 2013


For a long time we just couldn't make up our minds where to go for vacation this year. We discussed, came with some different ideas and suggestions. And then no decision. Croatia was on top of our list as we really enjoyed our vacation there last year and the year before. But we just didn't fancy driving for two days. Felt like we have already been there and done that with great success this year to Budapest and Vienna. Now we wanted something easier. After scanning the travel catalogs over a glass of red we finally made a decision.
Greece, Rhodos, Charter, all inclusive here we come !!
Really ?! charter, all inclusive? If someone had told me ten years ago that I would go charter I would have laughed load and said "NO way boldy!" as I am way too adventures for charter.  But everything has it time as my mother says.
I have inter-railed through Europe, slept in a dirty toilet in Barcelona train-station and in a even dirtier room on top of a pub in Amsterdam's red light district. I have traveled all over Europe in horse-boxes ( big trucks made for horses and humans, like a big caravan with room for big pets..) to fancy horse-shows and less fancy horse-shows. Fancy hotels and less fancy hotels, well planned vacations and less planned vacations. Gone North, south, east and west. But I have never before been on a charter. I have seen movies about it though and yes I did have a few prejudice.
But I was so wrong..We have had a great, fantastic, fantastic vacation!!
The hotel was nice and clean (although furniture and decorations was from early 90ths) Fantastic, fantastic nice, fresh, tasty food. Beautiful pool right outside and the warm Mediterranean sea a few more steps away.Fantastic fantastic Mini disco for Mila. She is a very small person indeed but she knows what she likes and she likes mini disco alot. Everything was so convenient and we liked it a lot. The whole team has enjoyed vacation 2013 and had a relaxing time with a lot of swimming and reading. 
Rhodes gave us a great feeling and we can't wait to come back and to explore more.

Of course I also managed to do a few illustrations. I had so many models that I just couldn't resist to draw. My view from my beach chair.







Yeah they really kept ordering Pina colada left, right and center. I don't get it.. What is wrong with a cold beer a hot day??

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 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 ...
